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.
