Russian Communications Gear Used By Russian Ground Troops Sighted In Syria

Oryx Blog: Sighting of R-166-0.5 signals vehicle affirms inflow of Russian military into Syria

The past few days have seen a steep increase of evidence revealing the true extent of direct military involvement by the Russian military on the ground in Syria. The sighting of recently delivered Russian UAVs and Russian BTR-82A infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) in addition to sound fragments confirming Russian military personnel directly participated in one of regime's offensives in the Lattakia Governorate all proved Russia was deeper involved in the Syrian Civil War than many previously thought.

WNU Editor: I rarely headline a post from a blog .... but this is an important story. In the past few weeks we have seen in Syria the following .... Russian jets, transport planes, UAVs, armored vehicles .... but now .... we are starting to see specialized Russian communications gear that is necessary for Russian combat forces to operate far away from their bases. If these pictures are genuine .... it tells me that Russian military forces are on the ground or are about to be deployed .... and in force.
