 Nightmare for LIH: Militias New Russia travel to Syria
Yury Kovalchuk, a journalist, a member of the battalion "Somalia" militia DNI

The relative lull in the Donbass, as well as economic realities driven tens if not hundreds of Russian defenders of peace in the thick of the civil conflict in the Middle East.

Options militias in brotherly Syria mainly deal with the training of local forces combat techniques in urban areas and assist in mopping large settlements. Volunteers also ensure the protection of convoys and strategic facilities. Sometimes, conduct master classes for exploration - if you believe the unofficial sources in the headquarters of the 1st Army Corps, DRG militias have repeatedly sowed chaos and panic in the ranks of terrorists varying degrees of moderation.

The war is almost like a drug: in spite of all its horrors, trying again, I want to return again and again to this state of consciousness. After intense concentration and daring fatalism hostilities to return to civilian life difficult. That is why many veterans of Afghanistan and Chechnya, regardless of age, are involved in each campaign. Now that the conflict in the Donbass turned into a prolonged state of "neither peace nor war," many Russian and Ukrainian militia volunteers travel to Syria.

However, in contrast to former Ukrainian citizens Russians often simply have nowhere to go. Many simply do not find themselves in the army created in the New Russia, which differs significantly from the militia outlaws, but they have nowhere to go back - to the controlled Ukraine awaits them at their best, prison, and at worst painful death. At the same time find a decent pay in the civilian world in New Russia is difficult.

"I have no choice. I served for a year. Family begged to stop fighting. But eventually, I realized that just are not able to support a wife and children. All I could find is the position of the guard with a salary of 7-10 thousand. Rubles. This money is hardly enough to survive. We could go back into the army, but there is also little pay -order 15-16 thousand rubles. Moreover, the delay payments for a few months. Plus constant risk. If you risk your life, then certainly, at least for normal money, which my family can live in dignity, or even save a little ", - says ex-militia with the call sign" hedgehog. "

"Hedgehog" went to war even in the middle of March 2014. He fought in Kramatorsk under Yampil in snow and the Donetsk airport. Gone from the militia in early 2015 after a severe concussion. Nevertheless, he managed to live a peaceful life long - is now a fighter actively communicates with former comrades in order to create a detachment to participate in the fighting in Syria.

A source at the headquarters of the 1st Army Corps DNR has confirmed that there is an informal call for volunteers to Syria. Salary is 1-1.5 thousand. Dollars, plus insurance. On the proposal has already responded to the militia of the "Sparta", "Fifteen" and a number of other departments.

As it turned out, in the armed forces LDNR fighters have already had time to visit the battlefields in the war-torn Syria. Alas, there are dead - at the end of September it became known about the death of a militiaman with the call sign "Relight". A soldier near the town of Cobán blown up on a land mine.

"Blind" - one of the militias of New Russia, already had time to visit Syria. At the moment, the group gathers for a new trip. Behind him, both in Chechnya and Abkhazia. Since September 2014 he fought in one of Cossack units in the territory of the LC. The New Russia he still in the middle of April it became too boring, so, taking advantage of dating in the armed forces of the Russian Federation, found an opportunity to do some fighting in the Middle East. Now I come to collect the separation of trusted people.

According to the "blind", wishing to go to Syria should be careful - the issue price is quite high, so a lot of divorced rogues ready to cash in on volunteers. At best, you will lose time and money. At worst, you can really go to Syria, only on the wrong side of the barricades - to replenish the fund exchange of prisoners terrorists, if not become a suicide bomber.

All the talk about the semi-mythical PMCs, gathering volunteers to Syria, prove to be nonsense. Especially because, according to Russian law, participation in the fighting in the PMC can be considered as mercenaries, and this is from 4 to 8 years. Set through the military.

"Blind" confident that if Syria will be a need for a full-scale ground operation, will take virtually all comers. Now go on a business trip only the best of the best.

Local combatants have "blind" dismissive attitude. Fighter claims that in Syria a little heavy machinery and artillery - fighting mainly conducted using small arms. And the regular army and the terrorists know how to use the potential bad "arts" and "tanchikov" - shooting randomly, but in case of a loss of at least one piece of equipment immediately retreat. In general, both sides are fighting not so zealously as beating militia against MAT.

Krasnoarmeysk, Moscow Region, Russia, 29/10/2010. Members of Russian special forces inspect silenced weapons displayed by a dealer at training training exercise at a military base outside Moscow. The exercise was part of the Interpolitex 2010 state security exhibition.

Indeed, cannibalistic policies of Kiev attempted to forcibly Ukrainize Donbass, has generated thousands of ruthless and fearless warriors, meeting which does not bode well either APU soldiers or terrorists LIH. It is one thing to cut off the heads of prisoners or civilians, and quite another to face with people defending the Slavic and Saur-Tomb and trimmed Debaltsevo Donetsk airport. It is likely that the militia of New Russia will be the very force that will sweep LIH to the ground. Unless, of course, a truce in the Donbas not be disturbed.

However, if Kiev is still will be decided on the next large-scale adventure trips abroad immediately become out of favor among the militias - too long ago and kopilos Ukrainian desire for revenge "lytsar" killed thousands of civilians, destroyed cities and lost comrades.

CHECHENS MAY BE DEPLOYED TO SYRIA

Ramzan Kadyrov has proposed to introduce in the SAR infantry to fight terrorists IG

In connection with yesterday's decision of the Federation Council on the use of Russian aircraft and Russia's entry into the war against terrorists in Syria, the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov announced his position, noting that the Middle East is necessary to involve not only the Air Force, and Army. The Chechen leader said that if a decision on the participation in hostilities in Syria Russian land troops, he immediately prepared to provide troops from Chechnya.

"We're working on it more than a year, we have a number of combat readiness.We are ready to go, we have tens of thousands of volunteers. IG recruit our brothers, they are preparing to commit against our people of terrorist acts aimed at destabilizing the situation in Russia. The sooner we finish with them, the more easy to live to the world community. We, Chechens, unfortunately, there is no opportunity to participate in the fight against these devils, "- said Ramzan Kadyrov.

The head of Chechnya said that the Russian Federation is not only a defender of its own people, but also as a fighter against international terrorism and in this context we are not talking about the support of some of the Syrian side - President Bashar al-Assad and the opposition.

"We see the murder of innocent people. They "Iblisskoe State" (banned in Russia IG. - RP.), Make threats against our country. So why wait for them at home, if in their own lair they can be destroyed. We are ready to go, we have volunteers, tens of thousands of people. We are in 1999, took an oath on the Koran that the end of life we will fight against these devils, and will destroy wherever they may be ", - he stressed the head of the Chechen Republic.

Recall that on September 30, Ramzan Kadyrov personally checked the readiness of "flying squad", which, as noted, is formed from the staff of the special forces.According to him, the soldiers made jumps from the maximum allowable height, thus demonstrating aerobatics. He also stressed that every one of the men landed strictly in a given square, and while none of them is not even tripped by touching the ground. Why is the sudden inspection of special forces - was not specified, but the recent events speak for themselves.

On the morning of September 30, it became known that the Supreme Commander Vladimir Putin for the second time received from the Council of Federation of the right to use armed forces abroad. The news that the President has made a proposal was announced by the speaker of the upper house of parliament Valentina Matviyenko around 10am. Within an hour, the media released the zipper on the approval of the Federation Council requests the President.

And in the afternoon the Air Force began to cause pinpoint strikes  on the positions of the "Islamic State" in Syria. This was announced by Head of Press and Information of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Major-General Igor Konashenkov. Earlier, Reuters reported that Russian air force struck the first air strikes in the vicinity of the city of Homs, which controls the armed Syrian opposition.

"Flying squad"

Discussions about the need for a ground operation began immediately after giving President Vladimir Putin the right to use the armed forces in Syria. Some experts believe that the support of the army of Assad from the air is not enough to complete the defeat of extremist groups, including the "Islamic state." To defeat the jihadists need to take control of the infrastructure facilities and transportation hubs that can provide the Russian special forces, which is considered one of the best in the world.

The representatives of the Syrian Arab Republic also assured that they will welcome any Russian action against terrorists both in the air and on the ground.Moreover, in late September, the anti-terrorist coalition was de facto created.Moscow and Tehran have established regular contact to coordinate action on the Syrian front. Russia, Iran, Syria and Iraq have also agreed to establish an information center, which will include representatives of the General Staffs of these countries. All of this suggests a serious immersion in the Syrian military conflict.

However, given the geographical location of Syria towards Russia, the full participation of the Army of the Russian Federation is unlikely to be realized, even for reasons of logistics - to move troops and equipment in sufficient difficult to carry out in a short time. Another thing - the "flying squads" of special forces who can take important objects for a few hours. These have Ramzan Kadyrov, who is willing to personally lead a special operation against the terrorists.

Part of the Russian special forces are already engaged in a military operation, but is based on the secondary. It is known that the protection of the Russian military facilities in Syria attract the Black Sea Fleet Marines, soldiers of the 7th Airborne Assault Division Airborne and Special Forces from the ships belonging to the Mediterranean grouping Navy. This agency Interfax-AVN reported an unnamed military source. Official confirmation of this information is not available.

"The Marines of the Black Sea Fleet will be the first held to protect Russian military facilities in Syria, including the point of logistics of the Navy in Tartous and temporal Russian Air Force Base in Latakia," - a spokesman said.

To provide Russian aircraft fuel will involve large marine tankers Northern, Baltic and Black Sea fleets. The source told Interfax that they will go to Latakia under escort warships naval task force in the Mediterranean. According to him, security of Russian military facilities will be on a rotational basis. Another thing is that defensive measures in a guerrilla war is not always the best solution, and certainly insufficient.

"Straits - they're close, close"

In an interview with the "Russian planet," political analyst Sergei Aksyonov said that in the history of the IG with the head of Chechnya has demonstrated great political flair and understanding of the time, long before it became clear that Russia would intervene in the war in Syria. Igilovtsev he called "devils" and showed a willingness to go personally to eliminate the danger. And with the start of the bombing I was distressed that there will be a ground operation. Not every Russian head of the region would do that. There's more, "Gaiser" across. It should be appreciated and used for the benefit of the country.

"Do not forget that Kadyrov will soon 40 years. He made ​​himself in the country seems to be all that I could. And lately apparently "stagnated". Constantly reminded that he is a warrior, to ask in the Donbass , he admitted that he never wanted to be an administrator, and wanted to become a national hero.Demonstrated capabilities Chechen special forces and publicly swore allegiance to the president and Russian. I think it's time to treat it with respect. Many powerful men who want to fight for their country, should not stay long without "cause." The ability to express themselves there, "- said Aksenov.

The political scientist noted that it is not really talking about a ground operation, but maybe this will soon be a necessity? Or it is necessary to make sure that there?

"The personal involvement of the head of Kadyrov Chechen units in a ground operation would help to solve several problems. Induce terror in igilovtsev, take a real business Chechen special forces and Kadyrov personally that would "lose steam" after a long period of forced inactivity of the military. And besides, to earn credibility in the Islamic world. If the strong Muslims, a warrior under the Russian flag will resist thugs from the IG, with Russia once everyone will want to deal with. This will select the allies and the country's efforts. All you need to do - to give the order, "- said Sergey Aksenov.

Writer Eduard Limonov suggests that our military presence in Syria itself from the air will be forced to go down on the Syrian and Iraqi land. According to him, in this case, do not stop, "Lord! There are in fact from Syria and to close the straits! "

"What kind of straits? A to Bosporus and Dardanelles straits, which stubbornly dreamed Russian tsars and Bolsheviks Caesars! Twice we almost reached the Straits, our army, some tens of kilometers separated us ... And here, perhaps because of some misplaced tumor in history, which suddenly was the IG, we are there and will be able to in that part of the Middle Asia turn around? "- sums up the author.

And really - because the Bosphorus Bosphorus. And there is nothing bad in that it paved the way to the Chechen special forces, if Ramzan Kadyrov set up so strongly. In any case, no matter how hard you try, but take part in a ground operation can not be avoided if Russia has set the task to lead the offensive and in Syria, and Iraq. You have to understand that the very fact of our participation in the war on the side of Assad antagonized Moscow, tens of thousands of fighters.Now we have "further squeezed," surround and eliminate. Who is ready first? We know who.
