RE: Fresh news from Hama, Syria
※→ cnelsen, et al,
This is disinformation.
The "ZeroHedge.com/ABC Media, LTD" is a very low budget media outlet that redistributes articles or rewritten copy already published by a more established internet publication, open source broadcast program, or formal press releases (government and commercial interests).
Press releases from such sources as the Russian Ministry of Defense (RU/MOD) are not uncommon.The most recent Russian Idlib airstrike footage for the area.
BTW: The Russian Federation does not use the term ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria). It uses the more accurate term DAESH, which is the transliteration of al-dowla al-islaamiyya fii-il-i’raaq wa-ash-shaam, which is in English ISIS. ISIS acronym formed from the transliteration of the English --- whereas DAESH acronym is formed from the transliteration of the Arabic.
(COMMENT)Russia Releases Photos Showing US Special Ops At ISIS Positions In SyriaInfo is from Russian military ministry. Official one.Because there is one point about this – such a fairy tale exists only in a Russian parallel reality.Russian warplanes hit Jabhat al-Nusra targets, helping repel offensive
Amazing result of the fight that had been lasting for several hours.
29 russians against about 1000 US backed terrorists.
3 russians injured from one side and about 850 terrorists dead, 11 tanks, 4 IFVs and some other vehicles destroyed from another.
And when there are such results of fight, someone still really believes that there is russian army in Ukraine? Have been fighting for 3 years without any success?
The result of Russian army year activity in Syria is fairy tale as well, isn't it?
5 years of war by US coalition against ISIS lead to grow of terrorists and their territories and a year after Russians came Syria is almost cleared.
You look like a barking dog from well known proverb "while dogs are barking caravan keeps moving"
Over the last several months, there has been an up-tick in the concerted effort to link the US to DAESH/ISIS; an attempt to make it appear that the US is providing all measure of support. The allegation is that US Special Forces set the conditions which permitted DAESH/ISIS to escape Mosul - to Raqqah - then to Dayr al-Zawr (Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor). Sputnik News reports that MG Igor Konashenkov (RU-MOD) made two comments that seemed to support the ascertain.
"To avoid unnecessary escalation, the command of the Russian forces in Syria gave the US partners an advance notice, through an existing communications channel, on the [territorial] borders within which the military operation in Deir Ez-Zor would be conducted," Konashenkov said."
"Konashenkov pointed out that the Russian intelligence services had discovered no clashes between Daesh fighters and any armed representatives of "third parties" on the eastern bank of the Euphrates in the last few days. He added that "only representatives of the international coalition themselves" could say how opposition members or coalition allies could make their way into the midst of Daesh troops without any fighting."
Similarly, RT-News (Published time: 20 Sep, 2017 21:32) wrote:t
The Russian Defense Ministry says that, according to their data, an offensive launched by Al Nusra terrorists and their allies in Syria was orchestrated by the US security services, aiming at derailing the Syrian Army operation near Deir ez-Zor.
“According to our intelligence data, the offensive was instigated by the US security services to stop the successful advance of the government forces to the east of the [city of] Deir ez-Zor,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement, commenting on the incident.
RT-News further wrote:
Earlier, Russian officials already suspected the US of having links to some radical groups in Syria and even of attempts to let Al Nusra terrorists off the hook. On September 11, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the situation around the Al Nusra Front terrorist group remains “highly ambiguous” as it was repeatedly spared in the operations conducted by the US-led coalition and its allies.
The problem with the US involvement in the rich atmosphere of the Jihadist, Virulent Fedayeen, Hostile Insurgent, Radicalized Islamist, and Asymmetric Fighters that is the Middle East, is that no matter what side the US supports (and by extension this includes Israel, America's only regional ally) in the eyes of the some factions we will be describes as doing wrong, supporting terrorism, or profiteering from the conflict.

Thanks for your position, RoccoR. Let's briefly compare Russia's and Pentagon's actions in Syria.
German journalists:
The commercial cargo ship was commissioned by the Pentagon’s Special Operations Command (SOCOM) to haul 1,600 tons of ammunition to Syria’s neighbors Turkey and Jordan, and from there almost certainly on to US-backed rebels fighting the Islamic State (ISIS).
The transportation operation is part of one the Pentagon’s biggest buy-ups of Soviet-style weapons in its history – as much as $2.2 billion by 2022 – as it seeks to arm Syrian rebels fighting the Islamic State.
The Pentagon told BIRN and OCCRP that in 2016 it delivered equipment to “vetted Syrian Opposition” groups in 20 airdrops, 100 cargo flights, and 500 truckloads. It added that the pace had increased as efforts to retake Raqqa, the so-called capital of ISIS, had been upped.
The weapons was going through Germany, Bulgaria, Romania, Georgia and Ukraine.

End User Certificate says: items will not be delivered or exported by any third party. However the end user has not been specified. The German journalists claim: weapons certified this way were coming directly to terrorists in Syria.
Russia:
Syrian armed forces supported by the Russian Air Force have regained control of 87.4 percent of the country, Russia’s military said, adding that Russian warplanes had destroyed over 96,000 terrorist targets in the course of the two-year campaign.
Since September 30, 2015, when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the deployment of the Russian jets and helicopters to Syria at the request of the Syrian government, they have conducted more than 30,000 sorties, annihilating more than 96,000 targets, according to data cited in the publication.
Among the terrorist positions destroyed in the raids were 8,332 command posts, over 53,700 militants of terrorist groups, and almost a thousand training camps, as well as 6,769 oil and ammunition depots.
Since the launch of a two-year bombing campaign, Russian warplanes have inflicted serious damage to the oil infrastructure seized by IS, which is believed to be the main source of income for the terrorists.
A total of 212 oil fields and 184 oil plants and refineries that fell into hands of ISIS were destroyed by the Russian Air Force.
