What a bunch of bullshit, its was US special forces with the ypg. They are attempting to cut the syrian army off at the river to secure the oil fields nearby. They cant fight them head on so they cut the head off the snake, its obvious western ideology.

Все, кто имеет к этому отношение, будут гарантированно уничтожены. И они это знают. Поскольку следы от такой операции точно остались. А уж как наши получат  данные- кто, при каких,  кто обеспечивал-другой вопрос.
