Russia’s Tass news agency lists Russia’s combat losses so far in the Syria conflict as: 21 military personnel, three helicopters and a Su-24 bomber.
A Special Forces officer – Senior Lt Alexander Prokhorenko – “died heroically” in March near Palmyra, the Russian government said. He was decorated as a national hero for having called in an air strike against so-called Islamic State (IS) militants, who had surrounded him.
Russia’s “anti-terrorism” operation in support of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria began on 30 September 2015.
Russia has mostly carried out intensive air strikes in Syria – including with cruise missiles fired from warships. But Russian Special Forces and military advisers are also helping Syrian government troops on the ground.
According to a Reuters investigation, Russian private contractors or mercenaries are also fighting in Syria, in support of the official military contingent.
