Pictures of Russian troops taken across western Syria have been uploaded to social media. A video from Syria supposedly filmed on August 23 during the battle of the port of Latakia also shows an ultramodern Russian-made infantry combat vehicle
Daily Mail: EXCLUSIVE: First picture 'proof' that Russia has troops on the ground all over Syria helping dictator Bashar Al-Assad - and they've been there since APRIL
* Images showing Russians troops in Syria posted on social media accounts
* Some have been taken at Russia's small naval facility in Tartus, Syria
* But forces seen at other locations and pictures have been taken since April
* Pregnant woman complained on social media that her Russian marine husband is being deployed to the country for 'three to eight months'
* Pictures will infuriate Western leaders in the face of official Russian denials
These revealing pictures apparently show how Russian troops are already on the ground in Syria as Vladimir Putin allegedly defies the West.
The images showing boots on the ground were originally posted on social media accounts of military personnel, but some were then hastily withdrawn once they began being noticed.
The shocking pictures will be seen as proof that despite official denials from the Russian president Vladimir Putin, he has deployed increasing numbers of troops to help prop up the regime of Syrian premier Bashar Al-Assad.
WNU Editor: I have been seeing the same social media reports. Many of these soldiers are posting pictures .... but there are no combat pics or videos.

Wait until they are almost in collapse then send in help, save them and then you own them.
This is speculation, but I wonder if one of the reasons Putin is doing this is to control the refugee flow to Europe as a bargaining chip for the removal of Europe's anti-russian Ukrainian sanctions? As someone else noted here there is no clamoring wave headed to Russia.
Yes. Refugees as a weapon.
