Yea, you're right.Probably. Although Syria has no money.
Assad is probably just loaning them to Putin to pay off old debt.

Putin says Russia to use Middle East volunteer fighters

LONDON, March 11 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the green light on Friday for up to 16,000 volunteers from the Middle East to be deployed alongside Russian-backed rebels to fight in Ukraine, doubling down an invasion that the West says has been losing momentum.
The move, just over two weeks since Putin ordered the invasion, allows Russia to deploy battle-hardened mercenaries from conflicts such as Syria without risking additional Russian military casualties. read more
At a meeting of Russia's Security Council, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said there were 16,000 volunteers in the Middle East who were ready to come to fight alongside Russian-backed forces in the breakaway Donbass region of eastern Ukraine.
Commentary:
This move places Putin in a precarious position, If he begins to use mercenary troops to fight in the Ukraine, what keeps NATO and America from doing the same?
In addition, what should stop volunteer groups going to the aid of the Ukraine?
Has Putin opened his own Pandora's box?
Ukraine uses NATO mercenaries, Russia is being supported by its Arabic friends.
No problem
Money, the same "commitment" a couple of ex-GI "contractor" guys from my AO went to Ukraine for.....Good place for those ass-holes.
Lots of naive peeps up in this thread.
I'm curious how you get people in other countries to VOLUNTEER to fight for you and risk their lives to their benefit?Putin says Russia to use Middle East volunteer fighters
Putin once again shows he is a master tactician. ...
Middle East fighters are battle hardened and very experienced in urban warfare. They will be a valuable asset in the house to house street fighting in the capitol city of Kyiv and other large cities.
We could pay premium contracts for MS-13 types. That's as close as we can come to the level of the viciousness of good, old-fashioned Islamic fundies.Ohhh please, please can we send central American and Haitian invaders to fight Russians? What a fantastic idea. Round them up, and send them out. We have millions. If only it could really be.
The world is full of evil. I believe the day WILL come when someone uses a nuke again and I really hope I'm not around to see it. One of the things that makes this current violence so damned dangerous is that Putin instituted a policy in Russia that RELIES on using "small", tactical nukes to fight against enemies with superior conventional forces. That's his DOCTRINE.Got it. Will someone please nuke Russia already?
IIRC, Putin is offering the guys 300 dollars a month. Imagine being so poor you'd sell your life for that.Probably. Although Syria has no money.
One question. Will it make a dent in the Democrat population?The world is full of evil. I believe the day WILL come when someone uses a nuke again and I really hope I'm not around to see it.

Russia has manufactured a roughly 10:1 advantage of such tactical nukes. The rationale tries to turn "MAD" on its head. Instead of the use of those weapons being unthinkable, he believes they can be used in very precise, limited ways that will give his military the battlefield advantage while making his enemies face the choice of losing the battle or losing their NATION and maybe even the planet. THAT is how he thinks.

They will be cannon fodder that commit atrocities. Moslems can be decent fighters while events are going their way, but they vanish when things go badly. A perfect example of summer soldiers.Putin once again shows he is a master tactician. ...

Taliban hung in there year after year until they won.They will be cannon fodder that commit atrocities. Moslems can be decent fighters while events are going their way, but they vanish when things go badly. A perfect example of summer soldiers.
Only if he targets them. I'd offer up DC as a giftOne question. Will it make a dent in the Democrat population?
This is the first war where a military considered their own logistics to be "mission creep"If the OP IS TRUE. Then it's not going well for Putin............If he's having to hire more people to go there then he must be having a hard time there.
I'm pretty sure, that Sauidi's special forces need some experience of military actions on the European Theater against NATO-trained Army, and, at least psychologically, they need to taste some European blood, too.I seriously doubt the ME fighters will come from Saudi Arabia.
My guess it will be mainly fighters from Syria bankrolled by Assad as a payback to Russia for their helping him win the civil war.
DC, New York, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles. Wheee it's Christmas.Only if he targets them. I'd offer up DC as a gift
nothing new----muslim arabs fought with ROMMEL (big time nazi pig) inThis could lead one to think that ME fighters will be willing to fight against America.
