Russian General Vyacheslav Gladkikh Killed in Syria by IED
A Russian major general was killed in eastern Syria earlier this week by an improvised explosive device, Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed. Maj. Gen. Vyacheslav Gladkikh died Tuesday after a roadside bomb detonated under a convoy of Russian soldiers and Syrian pro-regime militiamen in the desert near the city of Deir ez-Zor. Three other Russian military personnel were wounded, Russia’s state-run Tass news agency reported. A local commander of Syria’s National Defense Forces, a pro-Assad militia, was also reportedly killed. -------- Looks bloody obvious there was something buried there, so I can't understand why he'd walk right up to it like that, or what he was doing anyway. |

The guy looking at the camera and pointing his finger at the people walking ahead: "Here, watch them get blown up."

It's rather ominous that Russia is ever more involved in the Middle East! It's a very strategic location...

"Maj. Gen. Vyacheslav Gladkikh died Tuesday after a roadside bomb detonated under a convoy of Russian soldiers and Syrian pro-regime militiamen in the desert near the city of Deir ez-Zor." no way, jose, no way... the IED blew-up right under the feet of the ex-Maj. Gen. Vyacheslav Gladkikh...  |

There's gotta be an easier way to do things than to use Generals as EODs... *♂️

Re: Russian General Vyacheslav Gladkikh Killed in Syria by IED
Maybe they'll get involved just like we got involved. We didn't learn much from the quagmire, I bet they won't either. And Afghanistan hasn't been too long ago for them, but apparently they've already forgotten about that. Or Putin skipped that chapter in his High School Russian History Book. Let them get involved as much as they want. They'll be in control as much as we were, which is to say, not at all. |

Re: Russian General Vyacheslav Gladkikh Killed in Syria by IED
Thank you so much for getting this footage  I've read so much but seen so little. Some news agencies in Syria really need to expand their conformations to other sources globally and local.  |
