Wagner PMC in Syria. Their revenge, or...
For a week now, passions have not subsided around the incident that occurred on February 7 in Syria, near the village of Hisham near Deir ez-Zor. According to various media reports, a detachment of Syrian militias, reinforced by the so-called Wagner PMC, advanced in tanks and light armored vehicles in the direction of the oil fields under the control of the “coalition forces” of the American occupation forces and the militia of Kurdish anarchists. The purpose of the trip is to “squeeze” a good amount of oil fields along with infrastructure from the shining ones.

Then, as reported, the following happened: the good Americans four times humbly begged the command of the Syrian column to leave in peace, but the militias with Russian mercenaries brazenly raised their voices, which is why the luminous Jedi were forced to cover the enemy column with a powerful artillery strike. And in order to give a lesson to the aggressors and not to get into the American sandbox in the future, the survivors were bombarded with missiles from above by two combat drones, a “carousel” of Apache attack helicopters, and even a specially called gunship - a transport aircraft specially converted into an artillery-machine-gun flying cart to fight the Papuans. .
Ukropy, as the most knowledgeable, reports such details as the Americans’ use of high-precision Excalibur artillery shells - “so as not to inadvertently cover our own.” Terrorists, or what?
The losses are said to be horrific. Various American media outlets, such as CNN and the Washington Post, claim that the Russian PMC alone lost more than 200 people killed. But when armchair experts from Country 404 got involved in the case, the losses of the “Wagnerites” began to grow exponentially. A particularly bold attack was made by one offended White Guard warrior, who told on one well-known forum the searing truth about the losses of Russian troops, which reached “600 people from just one company.” He is echoed by the well-known armchair expert and all-rounder with a shoulder strap, “El Murid.”
Since “world-famous experts” at one time closely participated in the war in Donbass - one personally, and the other at home, at the computer, our smaller “non-brothers” clung to their testimony with their teeth.
True, people who are more than a little familiar with the OSH of military units may immediately ask the question: what kind of company is there, in which the losses alone exceed the strength of an individual battalion, but okay - let’s not find fault too much with people who turn their own fakes with their own hands into dust. As evidence, the “experts” slip in radio interception data of the convoy’s conversations with each other and with the commanders, replete with swear words and details of the defeat. For greater authenticity.
In general, the situation is very reminiscent of the hot summer of 2014 and the beginning of winter of 2015, when dill, choking in drool, reported on the endless stream of refrigerators with corpses towards Russia and the defeat of another Pskov airborne division with brigades of horse-parachute Yakuts.
It’s time to shudder here, but for some reason it doesn’t shudder. On the contrary, a whole bag of questions arises. For example, where are the photo and video reports from the site of the destruction of the column? It is known from extensive experience that the luminous Jedi, like the barmalei they protect, love to pose against the backdrop of ruins and corpses. In sharp contrast to the incident near the village of Hisham is the recent loss of a Russian attack aircraft in Greater Idlib and the last battle of pilot Roman Filipov. The bearded men, from several sources at once, began to post online footage of a MANPADS missile hitting the plane and an attempt to capture the pilot alive.
However, “evidence” was not long in coming. Through the well-known extremist trash heap “Caucasus Center”, a picture of the wreckage of military equipment burning in the desert was thrown onto the network.
The “non-brothers” were so terribly happy that they began to triumphantly howl, “This is for Ilovaisk!” and “filled with corpses - the women will give you more births.” However, upon closer examination, it turned out that, as a mega-proof, the stupid creatives combined a photograph of the Martian desert taken by the Curiosity rover with a template of burning equipment destroyed near Zelenopolye by the 24th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in 2014.
It turned out to be inconvenient, since only the lazy did not replicate the photoshop, but the questions did not go away. On February 14, CNN strained itself and produced a picture from a drone indicating that some kind of ammunition had hit the upper hemisphere of a lonely T-72 tank. If you find online a video of the destruction of an Abrams turret as a result of the detonation of ammunition, then, if desired, this can be passed off as the complete defeat of American tank forces directly on US territory. It's like a patterned carving based on the video.
It is also unclear where Apache attack helicopters and, especially, gunships came from in Syria.
The Russian Ministry of Defense commented on the incident, stating that there were no Russians in the convoy, but confirmed that the Americans had struck it. The commentary talked about 20 wounded Syrian militiamen and noted the fact that the Americans in Syria are not fighting terrorists, but the troops of the legitimate government.
Subsequently, additional news appeared that there were still those killed, among whom were five Russians, of whom only two were mentioned by name: Cossack Vladimir Loginov and member of the opposition party “Other Russia” Kirill Ananyev. True, this information is very unofficial and its source is a certain “Baltic Cossack Circle” and the National Bolshevik Party, banned in Russia, the successor of which is “The Other Russia”.
In general, the press is trying its best, but the opposite effect is achieved - only dust and turbidity creep into the eyes.
An interesting statement was made by the head of the Pentagon, General Mattis, whom our “non-brothers” with particular voluptuousness call “Mad Dog.”
Regarding the incident near the village of Hisham, Mattis literally said the following:
“It was self-defense. It is obvious that we are not involved in the civil war in Syria... The Russians told us at that time that their forces were not there... The fact is that someone decided to attack us, and the Russians said that it was not about them... It is impossible ask Russia to prevent a conflict in the event that it does not control something.”
From which it follows that the United States is still involved in the civil war in Syria and is even its instigator. And they intend to blame the attack on the convoy of Syrian troops on the Russian command in Syria, if suddenly some Russians did take part in the march.
Official Syrian media, the SANA agency in particular, confirmed an American strike on a Syrian military convoy reinforced by fighters from the elite ISIS Hunters squad.
The Americans and the Ukropchiks insist that disguised “mercenaries from the Wagner PMC” acted under the guise of “ISIS Hunters.”
The well-known Turchinov political handler Butusov, in his cozy blog on Facebook, said with a blue eye that all Ukrainian media should emulate General Mattis, as they should correctly cover the war in Donbass. “Since you say “we are not there,” it means “you will not be there.”
Butusov's pearl was greeted with great enthusiasm by the numerous armchair army.
Actually, no matter what this [Censored] Butusov covers in his trash heap, it will not be possible to make it a source of valuable information - the propaganda bottom has long been reached and broken. It is simply of some medical interest that the small Bandera louse suddenly imagines itself as equal to its owner. And what kind of aviation, attack drones, or Excalibur shells will the Ukrainian Armed Forces use to nullify the Russian troops in the Donbass, even if they are discovered? I'd like to see it. Using your tongue to fight in blogs is much more convenient...
It must be said that interested Russians are severely disoriented and do not know what to think. There are the most conflicting messages coming from everywhere, and people are rightly interested. Many people are confused by the phrase “Russian mercenaries,” which is also used by the Russian media.
I will express my personal opinion. So far, it is known for certain that a military column of Syrian troops was moving towards the oil fields occupied by American-Kurdish forces and was subjected to an artillery strike and (possibly) attacked by combat drones. There are certain doubts about the participation of drones, since there is no video of the attack from the air - the picture that the drone operator sees.
As for losses, it is impossible to hide 200 and, especially, 600 corpses of Russians. You can’t hide such an awl in any bag. The howl will be heard throughout the country. Photos of the destruction from the scene of the destruction of the convoy could explode the situation on the eve of the presidential elections in Russia. But for some reason they stubbornly do not publish them, savoring the events in words and slipping in clumsy photos with vague video clips.
The term “mercenaries” is inappropriate in this case. Even in a hypothetical case, if a certain Russian PMC operates in Syria, one should think about the fact that its presence does not interfere with the legitimate Syrian government. The Americans serve their PMCs in hot spots as private military logistics services working under a contract with the local government. This is done in order to exempt them from charges of mercenarism, since mercenaries are not covered by the prisoner of war conventions.
Service under contract to a legitimate foreign government is what it's called. For some reason, the same ukropans are not inclined to call the militants from Polish and American PMCs fighting against the LDPR mercenaries. From a formal point of view, everything is legal. If some “Wagnerites” were present in the convoy, then who is to say that they were soldiers of fortune, and not truck drivers and cargo escort services under a contract with the Syrian government? In any case, it is not for the American occupiers to act as moralizers in this case.
And one last thing. In the context of a column and oil fields, the Urkagan word “squeeze” is often heard. In this case, a column of Syrian troops was going to take back what was theirs - the oil resources of the Syrian Arab Republic, “squeezed out” by the Kurds with the support of the Americans. Resources play a paramount role in this war. While oil was in the hands of ISIS, ISIS operated. They removed terrorists from resources, and that’s when ISIS ended. The Americans have long been unable to keep the Syrian war going from their own pockets - just listen to the constant complaints of the stingy Trump. Therefore, they and their “six” desperately need the captured oil fields and infrastructure.
It is obvious that Damascus does not intend to support the American self-made idea of “areas of division of responsibility.” The attempt of the Syrian troops to recapture theirs from the invaders ended in failure. But this does not mean that similar attempts will not be made in the future.
