International and human rights organizations repeatedly <a href=\"http:\/\/newsader.com\/16575-amnesty-international-rossiya-sovershaet-v-sirii-prestup\/\" target=\"_blank\">informed of the facts<\/a> that RuAF deliberately attacked civilians and rescue teams, and also used different air-delivered munitions prohibited by international law, such as unguided missiles, cluster and <a href=\"http:\/\/newsader.com\/30379-pryatavshiesya-v-podvalakh-aleppo-semi-p\/\" target=\"_blank\">bunker bombs (Betab-500)<\/a>, to target residence areas.

Justice can only be achieved if everyone who gave orders, who delivered the munitions to targets and who dropped the bombs, is identified and held personally liable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\">\n<div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p>International volunteer community InformNapalm has been gathering small pieces of data throughout the whole year to glean the portraits of war criminals &#8211; pilots and navigators of the Russian Air Group in Syria.<\/p>\n<p>In our first report dated Oct. 2015 we released the information about <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/syria-kremlin-s-war-criminals-infographics-of-russian-air-force-officers-disclosure\" target=\"_blank\">11 officers of the Russian Air Force<\/a>. This release caused a big stir in Russian and international media. At that time Dmitry Peskov, Press Secretary of Russian President Vladimir Putin, called the publication of pilots&#8217; data \u201ca hostile act\u201d and promised that Russian security services \u201cwould take measures\u201d. Indeed, the Russian Foreign Ministry made numerous attempts to exert political pressure on the countries where InformNapalm.org was hosted, demanding to shut down the website.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this political pressure, cyberattacks by Russian-linked hackers, and attempts to discredit our volunteer project, we never stopped working. Our community continued to collect, analyze and publish information. In February 2016 InformNapalm presented the profiles of <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/feb14-syria-pilots\/\" target=\"_blank\">32 RuAF officers<\/a>. In May we released <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/syria-58-russian-air-officers\/\" target=\"_blank\">58 profiles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Today, on the anniversary of the Russian air campaign in Syria, InformNapalm is presenting a new report &#8211; <strong>116 crew members of the Russian Air Group in Syria.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>We ask all of you to study this information and actively share it on social networks and other media. While a war criminal believes no one will even know the truth and he can keep hiding behind vague collective expressions like &#8220;little green men&#8221;, &#8220;Russian Air Force&#8221; or &#8220;Russian officers&#8221;, he can be sure that his crimes will remain unpunished.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that our publications will make Russian Air Force officers think about the consequences, refuse to execute criminal orders and stop the bloodshed. It is better to lose the job where military commanders groveling before Putin make you kill civilians, but save the thousands of innocent people and your honor.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Multipage infographics split according to the types of aircraft<br \/>\n(Click on the image to zoom in)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/001Front_bomber_1_2_eng.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/001Front_bomber_1_2_eng.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"10630\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/002front_bomber_3_eng.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/002front_bomber_3_eng.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"8268\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/003Front_bomber_DA_4_eng.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/003Front_bomber_DA_4_eng.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"8268\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/004Front_bomber_DA_5_eng.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/004Front_bomber_DA_5_eng.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"11988\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/005Front_bomber_DA_6_eng.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/005Front_bomber_DA_6_eng.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"9685\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/006Shturm_1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/006Shturm_1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"9213\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/007Vvynyshchuvachi_1_eng.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/007Vvynyshchuvachi_1_eng.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"9449\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/008OPTP_9_eng.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/008OPTP_9_eng.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"9449\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/88x31.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"43\" \/><em>This material was prepared based on OSINT investigations by volunteers of international intel community InformNapalm.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Pre-publishing by <strong>Frazy Grant and Brundik<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em> (CC BY) Information is specially prepared for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\">InformNapalm.org<\/a><\/strong>; an active link (accessible for search engines) to the authors and our project for any reprint or further use of the material is required.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exactly one year ago today, on September 30, Russia launched its air force operations in Syria.

In May we released <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/syria-58-russian-air-officers\/\" target=\"_blank\">58 profiles<\/a>.\r\n\r\nToday, on the anniversary of the Russian air campaign in Syria, InformNapalm is presenting a new report - <strong>116 crew members of the Russian Air Group in Syria.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n[\/su_column]\r\n[\/su_row]\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nWe ask all of you to study this information and actively share it on social networks and other media. While a war criminal believes no one will even know the truth and he can keep hiding behind vague collective expressions like \"little green men\", \"Russian Air Force\" or \"Russian officers\", he can be sure that his crimes will remain unpunished.\r\n\r\nWe hope that our publications will make Russian Air Force officers think about the consequences, refuse to execute criminal orders and stop the bloodshed. It is better to lose the job where military commanders groveling before Putin make you kill civilians, but save the thousands of innocent people and your honor.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nMultipage infographics split according to the types of aircraft\r\n(Click on the image to zoom in)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/001Front_bomber_1_2_eng.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/001Front_bomber_1_2_eng.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"10630\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/002front_bomber_3_eng.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/002front_bomber_3_eng.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"8268\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/003Front_bomber_DA_4_eng.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/003Front_bomber_DA_4_eng.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"8268\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/004Front_bomber_DA_5_eng.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/004Front_bomber_DA_5_eng.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"11988\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/005Front_bomber_DA_6_eng.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/005Front_bomber_DA_6_eng.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"9685\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/006Shturm_1.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/006Shturm_1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"9213\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/007Vvynyshchuvachi_1_eng.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/007Vvynyshchuvachi_1_eng.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"9449\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/008OPTP_9_eng.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/008OPTP_9_eng.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"5669\" height=\"9449\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/88x31.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"43\" \/><em>This material was prepared based on OSINT investigations by volunteers of international intel community InformNapalm.<\/em>\r\n\r\n<em>Pre-publishing by <strong>Frazy Grant and Brundik<\/strong><\/em>\r\n<em> (CC BY) Information is specially prepared for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\">InformNapalm.org<\/a><\/strong>; an active link (accessible for search engines) to the authors and our project for any reprint or further use of the material is required.<\/em>","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9337","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\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9337"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9337\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9797,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9337\/revisions\/9797"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
