    Explain to me why the general was killed, almost 100 percent some kind of seals or berets are behind this, officially this is the territory of ISIS. So why not pour white phosphorus or some other nasty thing into the place where they were shot after the shelling, Or in Syria they still don’t know about such a miracle equipment such as counter battery radar.

    The situation with Iran is different - after the death, the Iranian officer is promoted in rank.
    Accordingly, after the death of a colonel, it is announced that the deceased was a general.


    So much the worse in this case. We don't have such a tradition. The death of a general in a country where there seems to be no ground operation with the participation of Russian troops is more than serious.

    It looks like a combat drone or ATGM aimed at a communication signal. The handwriting is the same as in the murder of Givi in ​​Donbass. The Americans switched to individual terror.


    In Donbass, it is not Ukrainians or Yankees who are behind the deaths of famous commanders, no matter how much one would like to imagine it that way.

    This is the way only the Americans themselves fight in the Middle East. Terrorists can only take responsibility here

    The fact that the command staff is being hunted from the very beginning is clear to a fool, because this is war laughing
    It’s funny to hear accusations of all the mistakes, USA, it just somehow sounds pathetic to the point of disgust, the words of one “clown” involuntarily come to mind, “never happened and here we go again” laughing
    And why immediately the USA (I’m sinning smile only for the crooked propaganda of the current regime) why, for example, don’t they take into account that this is the east?, everything is bought and sold here, has the Afghan really not taught anyone (and for example, they say the Sadam were sold by their own “commanders”), and for the goods in the form of a general I I think they pay decently!! laughing Well, nothing, women...
