Russian mercenaries fighting for Assad are 'wearing BRITISH uniforms' - astonishing claim.
RUSSIAN mercenaries fighting for President Assad's government forces in Syria are wearing British uniforms to deflect blame for their ‘off the grid' operations, it is claimed.
It follows images taken a week ago of a Russian military contractor wearing a British combat shirt emblazoned with the Union Flag patch sewn on to the left upper arm. Wearing another nation’s emblem directly contravenes a raft of international conventions including the Hague and Geneva and is technically banned even by the Russian Federation.
Though parliament voted not to allow British ground forces to enter Syria, this does not apply to Special Forces which are not subject to parliamentary consent.
A small contingent of SAS and SBS soldiers remain in Syria today as part of a joint special operations task force who maintain a regional surveillance capability and overwatch of so-called jihadi prisoners guarded by Kurdish forces.
As part of their role, they provide “ground awareness and target recognition” for RAF planes, which were called in to attack remnants of Islamic State jihadists as recently as May.
Moscow is understood to have thousands of private military contractors in Syria, most of whom are former soldiers who are highly paid to carry out black operations - missions which regular Russian forces cannot get involved in to ensure the Kremlin maintains so-called “plausible deniability”.
One image shows a Russian mercenary riding on the back of an open to vehicle in Syria with the union flag clearly visible on his left arm.
Russian mercenaries fighting for the Serbs during the Bosnian War were regularly accused of changing their emblems to don Croatian insignia in order to shift the blame for atrocities.
And during the illegal invasion of Crimea in 2014 Russian troops violated international conventions when they removed all insignia to appear as so-called “little green men''.
Last night a former SAS soldier who served in Afghanistan said: “When it comes to Russian mercs there are no rules. They don't care about international law, the United Nations or the Red Cross - all they care about is success and they will do whatever it takes.
