First total losses of the Russian army in Syria announced

The first total losses of the Russian army in Syria are named.

First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Andrei Krasnov said that during the period of the presence of the Russian military in Syria from 2015 to the present, the losses of the Russian army in the Arab republic amounted to 112 people. We are talking exclusively about the servicemen of the Russian army, without taking into account the likely serious losses in the ranks of military mercenaries from the PMCs, who are also present in Syria.

"112 Russian servicemen were killed in Syria", - said Andrey Krasnov.

It is known that some of the losses are not associated with any military operations on the territory of the Arab Republic. in particular, we are talking about cases when the Syrian air defense mistakenly shot down a Russian military aircraft, when one of the aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces crashed near the Khmeimim airbase, in the crash of a Su-30SM fighter in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, etc.

According to some reports, in the near future the grouping of troops of the Russian Armed Forces on the territory of the Arab republics may be further increased.

In every war there are combat losses, no matter who is fighting whom
