The Trump administration just confirmed the US military killed 'hundreds
' of Russians in lopsided fight in Syria
Mike Pompeo, the head of the CIA and President Donald Trump's nominee
for secretary of state, confirmed on Thursday that the US military killed
hundreds of Russians in an intense fight in Syria.
The US had previously only confirmed killing 100 or so pro-Syrian regime
forces, but multiple outlets reported the number was as high as 300 and that
the soldiers were Russian military contractors.
Russian military contractors aren't official Russian troops, but
volunteers to private military firms.
Reports on the firms' communications indicate they were badly humiliated
by the lopsided loss.
Mike Pompeo, the head of President Donald Trump's CIA and his nominee
for secretary of state, just confirmed that the US killed hundreds of
Russians in an intense battle in Syria in February.
Asked about what steps Pompeo would take as secretary of state to hold
Russia accountable for its interference in the 2016 US election, he said
that more work was to be done on sanctions to send Russian President
Vladimir Putin a message. But, he said, Putin may have gotten another,
clearer message already.
"In Syria now, a handful of weeks ago, the Russians met their match,"
; said Pompeo. "A couple hundred Russians were killed."
The US had previously only confirmed killing 100 or so pro-Syrian regime
forces, but multiple outlets reported the number was as high as 300 and that
the soldiers were Russian military contractors.
Russia has used military contractors, or unofficial forces, in military
operations before as a possible means of concealing the true cost of
fighting abroad in places like Ukraine and Syria.
The February battle was reportedly incredibly one-sided, as a massive column
of mostly-Russian pro-Syrian regime forces approached an established US
position in Syria and fired on the location.
The US responded with a massive wave of airstrikes that crippled the force
before it could retreat, and then cleaned up the remaining combatants with
strafing runs from Apache helicopters.
Phone calls intercepted by a US-funded news organization allegedly captured
Russian military contractors detailing the humiliating defeat. "We got
our f--- asses beat rough, my men called me ... They're there drinking
now ... many have gone missing ... it's a total f--- up," one
Russian paramilitary chief said, according to Polygraph.info, the US-funded
fact-checking website.
France 24 published an interview in February with a man it described as a
Russian paramilitary chief who said more Russians were volunteering to fight
in Syria for revenge after the embarrassing loss. | y******9 发帖数: 1392 | 2 死这么多人俄罗斯志在必得叙利亚,冬菇他估计有美军被围,这次才搞这么大,看戏啦
