Our volunteer community continues tracking the Russian forces’ activities in the conflict in Syria. On November 2, an OSINT investigation with the photos and information about a ‘Novorossiysk-Syria assignment’ of a Russian soldier was\u00a0posted on\u00a0Nikolay Mahno’s Facebook page. The author of the publication\u00a0agreed to the exclusive publication of his material with our\u00a0complements.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Russian adventure in Syria is not limited to the\u00a0air strikes only. Following\u00a0the bombers, the\u00a0\u00a0ground contingent of the Russian Armed Forces was transferred to the Middle East. Sergei Shoygu<\/a>, the Russian Defense Minister, sent to Syria his fellow-Tuva to die for Bashar al-Assad.\u00a0A profile of Ayas Saryg-Ool, a\u00a0Russian serviceman from the 74th motorized rifle brigade (military unit No. 21005, Central Military District, Yurga, Kemerovo Oblast, Russia) and a native of the city of Arjaan\u00a0(Republic of Tuva, Russia), was found in the VK network (profile archive<\/a>, photos archive<\/a>, contact archive<\/a>).<\/p>\n

On November 30-31,\u00a0Ayas Saryg-Ool\u00a0uploaded to his album a set of pictures taken in Syria. Some of them had geolocation markers ‘Hama, Syria’. The military equipment and arms can be found in those photos, including the damaged ‘Msta-B’ 152mm\u00a0howitzers and vehicles – GAZ-66, GAZ-33081 and ‘Rys’ [Lynx] armored vehicle (Russian version of the Italian Iveco LMV). All of them were without\u00a0military markings, as usual. The pictures contain the Syrian landscapes and\u00a0Ayas Saryg-Ool\u00a0together with his comrades-in-arms dressed in the Russian army’s desert outfit sitting in a\u00a0container modular barrack.<\/p>\n

Note: As it is known, ‘Msta-B’ and ‘Rys’ are not in service of the Syrian army. As for the\u00a0howitzer – this is the second registered case. Also not so long ago the Russian\u00a0\u2018Solntsepyok\u2019 heavy flamethrower systems were\u00a0transferred here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Other pictures from\u00a0Ayas Saryg-Ool’s previous service in the 74th brigade in Kemerovo (Central Military District\u00a0) can be found in his album:<\/p>\n
