InformNapalm international volunteer community continues to track activities of the Russian armed forces which\u00a0participate in the conflict in Syria. Photos of the Russian military equipment – APCs, command vehicles, artillery and trucks\u00a0–\u00a0near Al-Shelfatiyeh (Latakia region) appeared on the net yesterday, on October 28. Also servicemen were noticed in those vehicles – taking into account the desert camouflage that\u00a0could be the Russian ground troops contingent. It looks like Russia has launched the concealed ground operation in Syria\u00a0after the same pattern as in the Crimea and later in Donbas.<\/div>\n

\u00a0Everything in the provided photos is\u00a0in keeping with the best traditions\u00a0of the Russian ‘Wehrmacht’: the board numbers are hidden (as in Donbas), the license plates are missing (as in Crimea in 2014). An artillery truck based on KamAZ-63501 chassis which pulled a howitzer\u00a0got into the shot. This KamAZ model is in service of\u00a0just several Russian military units, including the 291st artillery brigade (military unit No. 64670, 58th army, Southern Military District, Troitskaya, Republic of Ingushetia, Russia). This brigade was also mentioned earlier in the context of the ‘Rostov-Ukraine assignments’ and is linked to the shellings of the Ukrainian territory from the Russia’s side\u00a0of the border\u00a0in\u00a0the summer and fall of 2014 (please refer to “The 291st brigade’s Tour of Duty – from Crime to Donbas”<\/a>, in Russian).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

According to the latest information retrieved by the Ukrainian military intelligence, the Russians transfer to Syria an artillery division<\/a> of the 120th brigade (41st army, Yurga, Kemerovo Oblast, Russia)\u00a0on board of a\u00a0LPD. This artillery brigade has also been involved in the ‘Rostov-Ukraine assignments’ (check out our ‘Units of the 120th Artillery Brigade from Yurga to Millerovo’<\/a> article, in Russian).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Note: It might be possible that\u00a0intelligence department’s information about artillery unit transferring is outdated and the KamAZ with ‘Msta-B’\u00a0howitzer noticed yesterday indeed belonged to the 120th brigade. But\u00a0it cannot be excluded that another artillery unit had been moved to Syria with same kind of trucks and howitzers (i.e. 29th brigade of the Southern Military District).\u00a0<\/em><\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As for the registered desert colored uniform – this is the Russian uniform for the hot climate worn by servicemen of the occupation bases\u00a0in Georgia (Abkhazia and Tskhinvali regions), in military bases in Armenia and some other military units of the Southern MD including the ones\u00a0based in the occupied Crimea. The same clothes were seen on the EMERCOM servicemen (who were\u00a0in fact the\u00a0soldiers of airborne<\/a> and supply<\/a> units) during the weapons and ammo deployment to Donbas under the guise\u00a0of ‘humanitarian convoys’.<\/div>\n
