Russian invasion into Syria (Российское вторжение в Сирию) refers to the military action of Rissian troops since 2015 summer.

Goals of the invasion

Russian invasion into Syria appears as part of Putin world war. Vladimir Putin seems to use the invasion to neighbour countries to distract the public attention from the problems of terror and total corruption inside Russia.

The main goal and reason of the invasion is believed to be wish of the Russian mafia to control the traffic of oil and gas to Europe through the Mediterranean sea. [9][10].

An additional goal is training of Russian soldier for killing of the civil population. [11][12].

Pretext of the invation

The pretext of the invasion is declared to be help to Bashar Asad.

Russian losses

Loss among the Russian troops are reported. [13]

Terror

Russian warplane carry no indication that they are Russian.

Bombing of non-military objects by the Russian airplanes and missiles is reported [14][15][16][17][18][19].

Ed Royce indicates, that the special tribunal should consider the military crimes of President Bashar al-Assad his allies, singling out Russia and Iran. [20].

2016.09.21, administration of the USA accuses Russian military for bombing of the American medical staff in Syria. [21].

2016.08.29, Julian Reichelt qualifies the actions of the Russian troops in Syria as barbarism (Barbarei) [22].

2016.08.30, Tom Newton Dun indicates that BORIS Johnson has accused Russia of targeting civilian aid workers in Syria on purpose with “double tap” bombing raids to catch them out in the open. [23]

Since 2016.10.03, the repeated, intentional bombing of hospital by the Russian warplanes is reported [24][25].

Inability of Russian representatives to follow their declarations and promises, as well as the bombing of civil objects in Syria cause certain sequences. Since 2016.10.03, the USA administration stop any negotiation with Russian administration about Syria; more serious arguments, including new sanctions are reported to be considered. [26][27]

Since 2016, opinions of the 7-year old child about war in Syria are presented by Bana Alabed [28]

2016.10.04, Stephane Dion Condemns Russia's Support For Attacks On Syrian Medical Facilities [29].

Protests

Russian attacks of civilian objects causes protests [3]

Statements about the random bombing of Syrian territory by Russian troops agree with general concept of internal defects of the navigation system Globass (ГЛОНАСС) used by the Russian troops. Permanent failure of navigation systems of the Russian warplanes can explain also their invasion into territory of Turkia.

2016.10.09, George Soros writes, that the "Russia’s Bombing of Aleppo Must End". [30]

2016.10.20, Amnesty International indicate that the United Nations must act to end onslaught aimed at purging civilians from eastern Aleppo by Russian bombers. [31]

Russian military divisions participated

It is believed, that the Russian invasion into Syria is performed with participation of staff of vh69806 (Вч 69806). In addition, 2015.10.23, some Russian troops are reported to move from Ukraine to Syria [32]

The total Russian corruption slightly reduce the danger of the Russian troops. About 1/3 of the Russian warplanes in Syria are reported to be out of order: they are seriously damaged and do not fly. [33]

As the Russian military forces appear without signs of identification of their belonging to Russia, the attacks by the warplane without identification are attributed to Russia. Since late September, 2015, several hospitals in Syria are reported to be destroyed by the Russian bombers. [34].

General coordination of the Russian troops in Syria is reported to be handled by Viktor Bondarev [1].

Victor Bondarev confirms delivery of the ground–air missile systems to Syria. His statement can be interpreted as support of hypothesis about use of such missile to shut-down the A231 airplane Рейс7k9268: After to pass Bosphorus and Dardanelles channels, some boats with the Russian missile systems could deviate from declared course and happen to be in Egypt. Use of Russian missiles against Russian airplanes is possible due to the total corruption of the Russian administration.

2015.11.04, Reuter indicate that the Russia's Syria force grows to 4,000 [35]

2015.11.24.Crash

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion into Syria, the Russian warplane enter the airspace of Turkey from side of Syria. The Syrian administration asked Russian officials to stop these violations. Then, the Syrian side emit warning, that all non identified warplane above territory of Turkey will be shut–down. first, the unmanned warplanes are reported to shut down. 2015.11.24, the bomber Su-24 without national identification had been shut down in vicinity of the border between Syria and Turkey.

The bomber is reported to fall at territory of Syria; the plots used to catapult out, but at least one of them Oleg Peshkov is reported to be killed bu the sunnits whe were target of the bomber. The Russian officials claim that they were successful to save the sturman of that bomber, Konstantin Murahtin. Since that accident, no view of that Konstantin Murhatin appear in the publications, provoking rumors that both crew of the warplane were killed, but, in order to justify the lost of some ten of rescuers sent to the wreckage of that Su-24, one of soldiers pretends to be Konstantin Murahtin.

Body of Oleg Peshkov is reported to happen at the territory of Rurkey and to be retorned to Russia by the Turkey administration [8].

Military response

Since 2015 November, the USA jet fighters are reported to be deployed in Syria [36]

2015.12.08, Putin and Shoigu discuss the use of nuclear weapon in Syria; Putin hopes, that there will be no need to use it, but he declared that it is ready to be used (Perhaps, in the case if everything goes bad for his occupational troops.) [37].

2016.02.12, the shut–down of the pro–Assad warplane is reported. The Russian propaganda claim, the warplane is MIG belonged to Assad airforce. Other authors indicate, that the warplane was the Russian modern bomber Su-24. It is believed to shut–down with the portable missile ground–air by the troops of opposition. The shut-sown is believed to be only a probe; and other Russian warplanes in Syria were expected to be shut–down in the similar way soon. Syrian rebels deny missile was used to shoot down warplane. [38][39][40][41].

2016.03.14, Putin suddenly orders and announces withdrawal of Russian troops from Syria, declaring, that they finished their assignment, and their goal is already achieved. Some of Russian pilots are reported to return into Russia as winners. [42][43].

If this is really pull out, then, since 2016.03.15, the results of the Russian invasion into Syria and intermediate results of the war in Syria can be evaluated. Some estimates by Khaled Suleiman and Mohamed Misto are copy pasted below from the Turkish site [44]:

More than 361,000 people have been killed in Syria as the conflict in the Arab country enters its sixth year, according to an Anadolu Agency tally.

In early 2011, the Bashar al-Assad regime cracked down on pro-democracy protests with unexpected ferocity, leading the country to fall into civil war.

The Anadolu Agency tally shows that among those killed in the five-year conflict, 235,140 were civilians.

The highest number of deaths was reported in Aleppo (71,000), Damascus (67,000), Idlib (36,000) and Daraa (28,000).

Around 180,000 people have been detained by Assad forces, the tally shows.

According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR), 194,208 civilians were killed in opposition-held areas, including 183,827 killed by regime forces and 2,984 killed by Russian airstrikes.

The U.K.-based NGO said that 2,196 civilians were killed by Daesh terrorists, 356 killed by al-Nusra Front and 416 killed by the PYD, the Syrian affiliate of the terrorist PKK organization.

According to the SNHR, 311 civilians were killed in raids by the anti-Daesh coalition, 2,959 killed by opposition groups and 2,159 killed by unknown groups.

The NGO cited that 21,387 women have been killed in the Syria conflict, of whom 19,427 were killed by regime forces, 286 by Russian raids, 44 by PYD, 337 by Daesh, 68 by Nusra Front, 82 by coalition planes and 1,143 by unknown groups.

The network went on to note that more than 20,000 children were killed since the conflict erupted.

According to the NGO, 19,594 children were killed in regime attacks, 443 by Russian raids, 61 by PYD, 307 by Daesh, 97 by coalition attacks and 406 by unknown groups.

The report showed that 12,558 people were tortured to death -- 12,486 by regime forces, 17 by PYD, 22 by Daesh, 14 by Nusra militants and 19 by unknown groups.

According to the report, 536 journalists were killed in Syria in the past five years, the majority of whom were slain by regime forces (479).

The report showed that 609 medics were killed since 2011, of whom 553 were slain by the Assad regime, 11 by Russian raids, three by PYD and 19 by Daesh.

The network said that 14,652 civilians were killed in barrel bombs, including 2,896 children and 2,672 women. More than 4,000 schools and 2,146 mosques were damaged in the attacks, the NGO said.

The network noted that 901 people have been starved to death in areas besieged by regime forces, including 294 children and 189 women.

Fake withdrawal

Withdrawal of the Russian troops from Syria seems to be fake.

Since 2016.03.19, the Russia's withdrawal of the military forces from Syria seems to be faux. [45].

201603.20, The syriahr report, that the attacks by Russian warplanes on civil objects begin again. [46][47].

2016.06.22, Russian bombers are reported to burn the residential areas of Aleppo [48].

As the heavy bombing of the Syrian civil objects (homes hospitals) continues after the "withdrawal" of Russian troops, the statements about that withdrawal can be considered as a joke by the Russian liars.

Similar joke is distributed abut Valentina Tereshova and Joseph Kobzon; Komsomolskaya Pravda indicates that they both participated in the Russian invasion into Syria, ofter their photo in a cabin of the Russian bomber and claim that they got special avards for the invasion. Their support of that bombing is qualified as "spiritual". [49]

War crime

map of part of Syria

2016.10.05, George Soros qualifies the Putin’s bombing of Aleppo as war crime. [50]

2016.10.17, similar qualification appears at the site of Council of the European Union [51]

2016.10.27, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault says, that either Russia or the Syrian government (supported by Russia) were responsible for an air strike on Syria's Idlib province that led to the deaths of 26 civilians, most of them school children. [52]

Attacks of Russian warplanes on the hospitals and schools in Syria are considered as one of reasons, why the Russian warships (including the air-carrier Admiral Kuznetsov (Адмирал Кузнецов) are not welcomed for refuelling in European countries. [53][54][55][56][57][52]

Chemical weapon attack in Syria

Statement by Rex W. Tillerson

2017.04.04, the chemical attack in Syria is reported; hundreds of civilian casualties are discussed. The attack is believed to be approved by Bashar Assad and Vladimir Putin. [61]

The chemical attack by Bashar Assad (assumed to be backed by Vladimir Putin) caused strong discontent of the USA administration and 2017.04.06, 8:45am EDT caused the demonstrational with 50 Tomahawk missiles were launched from U.S. Navy warships in the Mediterranean Sea, striking multiple targets - including the airstrip, aircraft and fuel stations - on an airbase at Ash Shairat near Homs.

Statement from Pentagon Spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis on U.S. strike in Syrian U.S. strike in Syria

IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. NR-126-17

April 6, 2017

Statement from Pentagon Spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis on U.S. strike in Syria

At the direction of the president, U.S. forces conducted a cruise missile strike against a Syrian Air Force airfield today at about 8:40 p.m. EDT (4:40 a.m., April 7, in Syria). The strike targeted Shayrat Airfield in Homs governorate, and were in response to the Syrian government’s chemical weapons attack April 4 in Khan Sheikhoun, which killed and injured hundreds of innocent Syrian people, including women and children.

The strike was conducted using Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAMs) launched from the destroyers USS Porter and USS Ross in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. A total of 59 TLAMs targeted aircraft, hardened aircraft shelters, petroleum and logistical storage, ammunition supply bunkers, air defense systems, and radars. As always, the U.S. took extraordinary measures to avoid civilian casualties and to comply with the Law of Armed Conflict. Every precaution was taken to execute this strike with minimal risk to personnel at the airfield.

The strike was a proportional response to Assad’s heinous act. Shayrat Airfield was used to store chemical weapons and Syrian air forces. The U.S. intelligence community assesses that aircraft from Shayrat conducted the chemical weapons attack on April 4. The strike was intended to deter the regime from using chemical weapons again.

Russian forces were notified in advance of the strike using the established deconfliction line. U.S. military planners took precautions to minimize risk to Russian or Syrian personnel located at the airfield.

We are assessing the results of the strike. Initial indications are that this strike has severely damaged or destroyed Syrian aircraft and support infrastructure and equipment at Shayrat Airfield, reducing the Syrian Government’s ability to deliver chemical weapons. The use of chemical weapons against innocent people will not be tolerated.

Role of Russia

2017.04.09, The Sunday Times indicates that Russia accused of complicity in Syria war crime. [63]

2017.01.05, HRW confirms the Soviet origin of the chemical weapon (sarin), used in Syria. [64]
