InformNapalm international volunteer community continues to disclose the Russian propaganda lies which state that\u00a0Russia does not take part in the ground operation in Syria. During studying\u00a0of the social networks regarding the ‘Syrian question’, our OSINT experts spotted tankmen from the 7th separate armored brigade (Chebarkul, Central Military District) which have been recently transferred to the Middle East.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the briefing held on May 18,<\/a> colonel Steve Warren, the press secretary of the\u00a0US coalition forces fighting with ISIS, considered\u00a0issues concerning the Russian troops in Syria. Pentagon spokesman colonel Warren said that the statements of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation about the beginning of the withdrawal of the main forces in March 2016 did not correspond to reality.\u00a0As before, Russia has the advantage in the\u00a0Syrian sky and continues to conduct ground operations using artillery with the\u00a0active participation of special operations forces. In addition, a new military base is being constructed in the territory of Palmyra. In the words of colonel Warren, this base looks like a\u00a0strong point, permanent or temporary.\u00a0The period of deployment of the Russians, as well as their number in the territory of Palmyra is not known. Responding to\u00a0the question about\u00a0the percentage ratio of the Russian air forces’\u00a0strikes,\u00a0colonel Warren said that the ISIS objects were not targets of the majority of attacks during the period of the military operation.<\/p>\n

Regarding the military base in Palmyra it should be noted that not only the Pentagon but also\u00a0the “American School of Oriental Research\u2019s Cultural Heritage Initiative” pays attention to this question. Besides the living modules and a\u00a0field hospital, we can see there a number\u00a0of military equipment. The archaeologists are concerned by the movement of equipment in the territory of Palmyra.\u00a0Vibrations can negatively affect the state of the monuments of the beginning of the first millennium AD. As in most cases, the official representatives of the Russian Defense Ministry deny this fact, noting that this is a temporary camp that will host a field bakery. Satellite maps indicate the opposite.<\/p>\n

Apart from historical value of Palmyra, the object\u00a0is unique in that it allows the InformNapalm team to reveal\u00a0units of the Russian armed forces which\u00a0take part in the\u00a0ground operation in Syria. We have already disclosed\u00a0the facts of the Northern Fleet’s marine brigade’s participation<\/a> in the ground operation, this publication will tell about the 7th armored brigade from\u00a0Chebarkul (Central Military District). The presence of the brigade in the Syrian territory was discovered thanks to tankman Rinat Zainulin<\/a> (archive of the profile<\/a>, album<\/a>, contacts<\/a>). Taking into account the ‘desert’ camouflage seen in the barracks of the military unit, the Chebarkul’s tankmen seem to be deployed there in April of 2016.\u00a0All the data\u00a0about the group has not yet been published since it is still being analyzed.<\/p>\n

The servicemen\u00a0of this detachment made a photo in front of T-90 tank which has become a\u00a0media\u00a0star in the last few days\u00a0(1<\/a>, 2<\/a>).<\/p>\n

One of the photos shows a Syrian army soldier standing in front of a tank with side no. ‘540’. T-90 machine with the same number can be seen in the photo album of the\u00a0disclosed by InformNapalm\u00a0tank crewman from Chebarkul.<\/p>\n

T-90 tanks are not in service of military unit No. 89547 (Chebarkul, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia), and photos in Rinat’s\u00a0brothers-in-arms prove that they mainly operate T-72 models.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The shooting site of the photo was the territory<\/a> of that ‘field camp’ in Palmyra. Behind one\u00a0can see the hill with installed jamming or communication\u00a0devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

It should be recalled that the ‘Rostov-Ukraine assignment’ of the 7th separate armored brigade from Chebarkul has already been mentioned in our earlier articles. In particular, a tactical task force\u00a0made of detachments of this brigade was\u00a0spotted as part of the invasion forces of the Russian army’s ‘Rostov’ group in close proximity to the Ukrainian border (Kamensk raion of Rostov Oblast) in September, 2014. The photos made by the Chebarkul’s contract \u00a0soldiers showed armed vehicles with shaded side numbers, the servicemen themselves wore non-statutory uniform, trying to look like ‘separatist-miners’. More information you can find here –\u00a0The unit of the 7th Tank Brigade, Central Military District, among the invading forces in Eastern Ukraine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reference: the 7th separate armored brigade\u00a0(military unit no. 89547, Chebarkul) was created based on the former 34th motorized rifle division. Its reformation to a\u00a0tank division started in 2016\u00a0as part of a new round of militarization of the Russian Federation. Contingent – 2901.\u00a0Brigade’s commander – guards colonel Kirill Kulakov<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
