600+ Russian "contract soldiers" + artillery/tanks attempted to storm US-supported base in Syria, believing they could take it before US would respond. Rumored 100+ Rus forces dead, hundreds of wounded flown back to Russia.

Note comment at the end of the story, where a Russian official implies dead Russians don't really matter much for them. Makes you wonder how many casualties in Ukraine/Syria they have hidden. https://t.co/VuXZRxQzFk
