The\u00a0\"R<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/russia-began-a-concealed-ground-operation-in-syria\/\">ussia Began a Concealed Ground Operation in Syria<\/a>\" article states\u00a0that movement of military convoy was registered in area\u00a0near Al-Shelfatiyeh (Latakia region) on October 28, 2015. It included various unmarked\u00a0military equipment \u2013 APCs, command vehicles, artillery and trucks which were identified as the Russian ground troops. It has been suggested that this are the\u00a0means of the 120th artillery brigade of the 41st army (Central Military District,\u00a0Yurga, Kemerovo Oblast, Russia).\r\n\r\nA little bit later we documented another Russian convoy containing units of the 74th separate motorized rifle brigade - again from Yurga (Central Military District)\u00a0- please refer to \"<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/russia-s-minister-of-defense-shoygu-sent-his-countrymen-to-syria\/\">Russia\u2019s Minister of Defense Shoygu Sent His Countrymen to Syria<\/a>\" article.\r\n\r\nAll this makes the Turkish Prime Minister <a href=\"http:\/\/news.rambler.ru\/world\/32086502\/?utm_source=facebook&amp;utm_medium=sharing\">Ahmet Davuto\u011flu's statement<\/a> about the start of the ground anti-terrorist operation of the united forces of Turkey, Saudi Arabia and other countries in the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic even more interesting. Taking into account that Russia and coalition members have different targets, new incidents with the Russian servicemen, attacking the Syrian rebels which fight with Assad's tyranny, are quite possible.\r\n\r\nSee also:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/russian-military-assignment-from-novorossiysk-to-syria\/\" target=\"_blank\">Russian Military Assignment from Novorossiysk to Syria<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/syria-what-war-are-soldiers-from-the-34th-brigade-of-the-russian-army-going-to\/\" target=\"_blank\">What War are Soldiers from the 34th Brigade of the Russian Army Going to?<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/marines-of-the-baltic-fleet-s-336-brigade-got-lost-in-hama-province-syria\/\" target=\"_blank\">Russian Marines of the Baltic Fleet\u2019s 336th Brigade Got Lost in As-Suwayda Province, Syria<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>(CC BY)\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/16312-rossyya-razvorachyvaet-vtoruyu-voennuyu-bazu-v-syryy\">Original article<\/a> translated by St.Grishin<\/em>","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6437","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=6437"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6437\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6444,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6437\/revisions\/6444"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
