Haven't seen US Marines in NE Syria for awhile, but good to see these Marines from 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines interacting more with the local population. 278/
A Russian Tigr vehicle struck an IED near Kobani yesterday. 279/
Pictures of that Russian military police Tigr vehicle that struck an IED yesterday that reportedly wounded one soldier. Given that Tigr's have poor armor and this was only a mobility-kill and not a K-kill, the explosive was likely quite small. 280/

There was another joint Russo-Turkish patrol in northern Syria today with a low-flying Russian Mi-8AMTSh helicopter. Locals placed stones in the road to block the path of the patrol, which were removed by Russian spetsnaz. 302/

Ru Vesna is reporting that Russian Major General Vyacheslav Gladkikh was killed in an IED explosion near the At-Taym oil field south of Deir Ez-Zor. 307/
rusvesna.su/news/1597760207 Image
The Russian MoD confirms that one serviceman, a Major General, was killed and two were wounded in Syria by an IED explosion 15km from Deir ez Zor. 308/
tass.ru/proisshestviya…
Major General Vyacheslav Gladkikh is reportedly the Deputy Commander of the 36th Combined Arms Army. Lieutenant General Valery Asapov was killed in Deir ez Zor in 2017 and Major General Pyotr Milyukhin was grievously wounded by an IED near Tiyas in 2017. 309/ ImageImage
Warning graphic video. It appears Major General Vyacheslav Gladkikh was killed (and his PSD of two Russian SOF were wounded) when inspecting an IED in the road. They apparently thought it was defused or inert. 310/
Screenshots of Major General Vyacheslav Gladkikh and his PSD (the one in the high-cut helmet seems to be his interpreter). The last photo appears to show a Russian Tigr-M SpN vehicle in front of one of the Syrian technicals. 311/ ImageImageImageImage
Anna News said that one of the lessons they were taught by Syrians operating near Deir ez Zor is to never drive in tire tracks in the desert and other previously used routes to avoid IEDs, which this column clearly didn’t do. 312/

Video of another skirmish between Russian and US forces in NE Syria from Aug 24. It appears there are two US vehicles and Russian BTR-80, 2 Typhoon-K MRAPs, Ural-4320, and 2 Tigr vehicles with Russian Mi-8AMTSh and Mi-35M helicopters overhead. 313/

That’s an American MaxxPro MRAP sandwiched between a Russian BTR-80 APC and a Russian Typhoon-K MRAP with a Russian Mi-35M helicopter overhead. 314/

Another video of the encounter between US and Russian forces from August 24 in NE Syria. Those are Russian Mi-8AMTSh and Mi-35M helicopters flying just above the fracas. Presumably, the two US vehicles were trying to block the Russian patrol. 315/
t.me/warjournal/7504
Two more videos of Russian forces in Syria. Not sure if this video was also taken on August 24 before the fracas between Russian and American forces. The video shows a US MaxxPro MRAP, and Russian Typhoon-K, Tigr, Mi-8AMTSh, and Mi-35M. 316/
t.me/fighter_bomber…
Another video presumably from that same August 24 patrol with Russian Typhoon-K, Ural-4320, and Tigr vehicles. Interestingly, it appears they brought the Mi-8AMTSh helicopter to hover just above a group of people to disperse them. 317/
t.me/fighter_bomber…
So the Fighter Bomber Instagram channel that posted this video claims the Russian Mi-8AMTSh helicopter in this video was hovering over American forces, presumably to try to disperse them or force them to move. 318/
instagram.com/p/CEWR0vXivGe/…
A longer video of the confrontation. US forces appear to be blocking a road and then attempt to block the path of the Russian patrol when they drive through the field. An American MaxxPro MRAP appears to collide with a Russian Typhoon-K MRAP. 319/
t.me/RVvoenkor/290
Shorter version of that video with an American M-ATV and MaxxPro MRAP being overtaken by Russian Typhoon-K, Tigr, Tigr-M SpN, Ural-4320, and BTR-82A vehicles with Russian Mi-8AMTSh and Mi-35M helicopters flying overhead. 320/
t.me/RVvoenkor/290
Interestingly, the Russian patrol gets on line before advancing. The screenshots (from a Typhoon-K) show 2 Tigr vehicles to the left and an Ural-4320 and BTR-82A to the right. Then that US MaxxPro between the Typhoon-K and a Tigr-M. Lastly a Typhoon-K, M-ATV, and Mi-8AMTSh. 321/ ImageImageImageImage
