Facts that ‘white 74’ warplane takes part in the Russian military operation in Syria were found thank to the reportage by RT channel.

It is critical to underscore that Russia’s air forces has started to paint victory tallies on aircrafts. One star means 10 operational flights (meaning destroyed hospitals, killed children and civilians). As usual, the Russian propaganda covers these ‘achievements’ of the war criminals in news. ‘Russia’ news channel shows ‘red 27’ Su-34 warplane with two blood-red stars (20 sorties).

Based on the statistics gathered by Bellingcat international investigation group, most Russian airstrikes hit the targets in Hama, Idlib and Latakia regions where are no ISIS militants. The first two provinces are controlled by different groups of opposition forces, who fight against Bashar al-Assad.

Also Human Rights Watch organization accused Russia in the deaths of dozens of civilians during the bombing of the Syrian cities. According to HRW, 59 civilians were killed only in two attacks in the north of the province of Homs, and the strike on Gant village was the bloodiest one – 46 members of one family were killed (including 12 women and 32 children).

Infographics [UA] together with InformNapalm community prepared the first part of the summarized data on the participants of the Russian military operation in Syria – the Russian air forces’ pilots and navigators. This information caused media hype in Russia and was also published by several Ukrainian and foreign media.
