In addition, as a result of strikes Russian aviation banned terrorist organizations in the Russian Federation “IG” and “en-Nycpa Dzhebhat” lost the initiative and had to go around to the front of the defensive tactics. This compromised the sustainability of gangs. This, according to Kartapolova contributed to the destruction of 28 of the most odious gang leaders.
However, according to our General Staff, minimize the use of government troops its air and artillery. This is due to the desire to preserve the infrastructure of cities and protect the civilian population.
However, the Russian Defense Ministry believe that talking about the victory over the rebels is premature. They continue to resist the Syrian army, in spite of the mass desertion and considerable losses in their ranks. Members of the banned terrorist organization in the Russian Federation “IG” continue to hold the position in a number of ways, especially since a few years, these positions have been transformed into a powerful fortified defense areas with an extensive network of underground tunnels and shelters.

Do not abandoned the militants and the usual methods of intimidation to them. As in most areas of warfare once well-trained gangs have become uncontrollable army, the leaders of these groups began to kill her. “To stop the flow of deserters, leaders of terrorists have resorted to unprecedented brutality measures – said Kartapolov. – We are used to that militants executed prisoners, hostages. The latter case – a public execution in the suburbs of Damascus, Hanshi 17 militants from the armed gangs,” al-Ghurab “who were trying to leave the war zone and to enter the territory of Jordan.” The general added that to intimidate their punishment drove the local population, but all the action was filmed on video for subsequent distribution to other groups operating in the region of Damascus and elsewhere.
At the same time the leaders of some terrorist groups are changing tactics. Thus, the militants of “Islamic state” and the group “Al-Nusra Dzhebhat” agreed to resist the offensive of the government troops in the province of Hama together. “For the political support and financial assistance from abroad, management of a number of armed groups that were part of the terrorist group” Dzhebhat al-Nusra, “has decided to waive the symbols and going under the banner of” Haruko Ahrar al-Sham “, which is assigned the West to “moderate opposition”, – he said at a briefing Kartapolov.
According to him, the terrorists are also trying to replenish their gangs of new militants. Most mass the nature of the process now is in the province of Aleppo, where rebels are trying to transfer reserves from Iraq and other neighboring states. “However, the level of these reserves, and their morale is very low”, – said the head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff. From this circumstance Kartapolov connects the fact that he was in a number of areas in the environment or under fire, the Syrian government troops gangsters try to escape, claiming to belong to the so-called “moderate opposition” and their leaders because of the cowardice and unwillingness to fight no longer pay them money.
As for the present Syrian opposition, as said Kartapolov, our defense ministry is ready to cooperate with all the forces that are fighting against the terrorists “Islamic state” and “Dzhebhat al-Nusra”, including – with the Free Syrian army. Moreover, the representative of the Russian General Staff has promised: Information moderate opposition on objects “IG” will be studied, and these facilities will be for Russian pilots priority objectives.

According to him, in the face of the country’s occupation by international terrorist forces all patriotic forces should unite and stand together against the common enemy. “Unfortunately, this has not happened,” – he stated General.

According to him, credible evidence or evidence to support these claims “Traditionally there are no” and as evidence are presented collages or videos of some ruins without reference to the place and time of the event.
– agreed already to the fact that the alleged number of destroyed our air strikes hospitals, mosques, houses and cultural monuments exceeds the number of blows inflicted by the Russian air force against terrorists in general – was indignant Kartapolov.
As an example of such an information provocation, he referred to the adoption of the Western media about the allegedly destroyed by Russian aircraft in Jisr al-Shugurov (Idlib) mosque named Umar al-Faruq. “Today we will show the real picture, using the data of objective control – appealed to reporters a representative of the General Staff. – The display presents aerial photographs of the mosque made by our aircraft yesterday, October 29.
