(Reuters) Maria Tsvetkova and Anton Zverev - An army of Russian private contractors is playing a substantial role in ground combat in Syria. They fly to Syria on board Russian military aircraft which land at Russian bases. When injured, they are treated in hospitals reserved for the Russian military and get state medals. According to "Kapa," a former Russian officer and volunteer in the Ukraine conflict, Russian veterans of the Ukraine fighting were recruited for ground combat in Syria when it became clear that Syrians would not be able to hold ground without help, despite Russian air support. "The Arabs are not warriors by nature, but are thrown together and told to storm high ground. They don't know how to storm it, let alone conquer their instincts and move towards the bullets....That's why our guys reinforced their units." 2016-11-08 00:00:00Full Article
