In this regard, the InformNapalm volunteer community continues the cycle of disclosing publications with the personal information about the Russian air forces&#8217; servicemen who participate in airstrikes against peaceful Syrian citizens under the\u00a0cover of &#8216;fighting with ISIS&#8217;.\u00a0According to number of international experts and human rights organizations, the Russian air forces attack mostly the positions of Free Syrian Army and not ISIS (in an effort to support Bashar al-Assad) or strike the civil objects (in an attempt to stoke tensions in EU about the refugees flow). As it has been reported by the British embassy in Russia,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UKAgainstISIL\/status\/657212724456374272\">85% of Russia&#8217;s strikes<\/a> are against the opposition and Free\u00a0Syrian Army.<\/p>\n<p>The InformNapalm volunteers have conducted an in-depth investigation of the data on the personnel involved into the Russian military operation in Syria. It is known that the 960th ground attack aviation regiment from Primorsko-Akhtarsk (Russia)\u00a0participates in the &#8216;air&#8217; component of this operation. Also the Su-25SM warplane painted in grey camouflage palette colors with &#8216;red 22&#8217; side number has been spotted taking part in this operation. Based on this\u00a0input data, our volunteers have gathered additional information about the pilots of this air force unit.<\/p>\n<p>1. lieutenant <strong>Aleksandr Goltsov<\/strong>, the 3rd class pilot (<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/PD962\">archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Lb6vuf_F4OM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15367 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Lb6vuf_F4OM.jpg\" alt=\"Lb6vuf_F4OM\" width=\"453\" height=\"604\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In 2013, being a cadet, he got an assignment to the 960th aviation regiment in Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Krasnodar krai, Russia (<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/V826A\">Archive<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/nkvqZ3yeleg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15341 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/nkvqZ3yeleg.jpg\" alt=\"nkvqZ3yeleg\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Besides him, the following cadets were assigned to the same military unit:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sergei Bykov (<a href=\"https:\/\/vk.com\/id93672823\">deleted profile<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Rostislav Rodionov (<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/gCdfy\">archive<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Sergei Tikhy (<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/BuVJK\">archive<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>2.

In this regard, the InformNapalm volunteer community continues the cycle of disclosing publications with the personal information about the Russian air forces' servicemen who participate in airstrikes against peaceful Syrian citizens under the\u00a0cover of 'fighting with ISIS'.\u00a0According to number of international experts and human rights organizations, the Russian air forces attack mostly the positions of Free Syrian Army and not ISIS (in an effort to support Bashar al-Assad) or strike the civil objects (in an attempt to stoke tensions in EU about the refugees flow). As it has been reported by the British embassy in Russia,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UKAgainstISIL\/status\/657212724456374272\">85% of Russia's strikes<\/a> are against the opposition and Free\u00a0Syrian Army.\r\n\r\nThe InformNapalm volunteers have conducted an in-depth investigation of the data on the personnel involved into the Russian military operation in Syria. It is known that the 960th ground attack aviation regiment from Primorsko-Akhtarsk (Russia)\u00a0participates in the 'air' component of this operation. Also the Su-25SM warplane painted in grey camouflage palette colors with 'red 22' side number has been spotted taking part in this operation. Based on this\u00a0input data, our volunteers have gathered additional information about the pilots of this air force unit.\r\n\r\n1. lieutenant <strong>Aleksandr Goltsov<\/strong>, the 3rd class pilot (<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/PD962\">archive<\/a>)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Lb6vuf_F4OM.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15367 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Lb6vuf_F4OM.jpg\" alt=\"Lb6vuf_F4OM\" width=\"453\" height=\"604\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nIn 2013, being a cadet, he got an assignment to the 960th aviation regiment in Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Krasnodar krai, Russia (<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/V826A\">Archive<\/a>).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/nkvqZ3yeleg.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-15341 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/nkvqZ3yeleg.jpg\" alt=\"nkvqZ3yeleg\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nBesides him, the following cadets were assigned to the same military unit:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Sergei Bykov (<a href=\"https:\/\/vk.com\/id93672823\">deleted profile<\/a>)<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Rostislav Rodionov (<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/gCdfy\">archive<\/a>)<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Sergei Tikhy (<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/BuVJK\">archive<\/a>)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n2.

Mikhail Belevich, by the way, cleaned up his VKontakte profile\u00a0on September 11 - apparently right before the trip to Syria.\r\n\r\n4. Thanks to the reporters of the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, the grey colored 'red 22' Su-25SM <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/TyZg1\">was disclosed on the Hmeimim airbase<\/a>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1295102009.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-15370 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1295102009.jpg\" alt=\"1295102009\" width=\"765\" height=\"497\" \/><\/a>After our series of publications\u00a0with identification of the Russian air forces' pilots spotted in Syria, we started to get additional information\u00a0which hardly could be found in open sources.

At the same time she supports Bashar al-Assad, creates tensions in EU, and funds the united Russian-terrorist forces in Donbas. Who knows, but maybe if the cynicism of the Kremlin's actions enters a\u00a0new phase, these pilots will bomb Ukraine instead of Syria naming it the new peace enforcement operation.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n(CC BY 4.0)\r\n\r\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/15154-960-shap\">Original article<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100010235495201\" target=\"_blank\">Mikhail Kuznetsov<\/a>, translated by Stepan Grishin<\/em>","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/104"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6217"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6217\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6227,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6217\/revisions\/6227"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
