AMMAN - Russia has sent special forces in recent days to fight alongside Syrian army troops struggling to make gains in a more than two month assault in northwestern Syria to seize the last opposition bastion, senior rebel commanders said.
“These special Russian forces are now present in the battlefield. The Russians are intervening directly now,” said Captain Naji Mustafa, spokesman for the Turkey-backed National Liberation Front coalition of rebel factions. It is a rare case of a military campaign that has not gone in Russia’s favor since it intervened in 2015.The head of a major rebel group said Moscow’s deployment of undisclosed numbers of ground forces came only after elite Syrian troops known as the Tiger Forces and allied militias were unable to make “any significant territorial gains.”
“In light of the size of artillery and aerial bombing, the Russians and the regime had expected to seize large areas,” Al Saleh said.
