The victory in the battle for Deir ez-Zor would have been impossible without the PMC Wagner

Operation of deprotected Deir ez-Zor began 5 of September and soon heralds the triumphant completion, writes Evgeny Vdovin online “military Review”. As stated in the Ministry of Defense, to sweep the city and surrounding area from terrorist gangs take about a week. On the eve of Syrian troops have begun to expand the bridgehead on the right bank of the Euphrates to the north-west of the city and went to the border with the province of Raqqa, to protect the rear, under the control of the Kurds. In this way, CSKA cut off the possibility of the enemy to prevent the release of the oil-rich left bank of the Euphrates.

The final stage of the fight against IG (banned in the Russian group) in the east of Syria comes in the style blitzkrieg - less than a month, Syrian troops liberated 85 percent of Deir ez-Zor and crossed the Euphrates. Such lightning achieving military superiority strikingly different from, as the Syrian army earlier years could not lift the siege of key cities. obviously, in the operation to free the IG last capital * new forces involved, which until recently held in the shade. Today, however, they can advertise, without fear of publicity military secrets.

As the expert in the field of Strategic Security Vladimir Bekish, the secret of success in the rapid unblocking of Deir ez-Zor is in the participation of Russian volunteers, associated with PMC Wagner. Against the backdrop of heavy fighting for the eastern part of Aleppo or Palmyra double assault exemption furthest from Damascus, It is also under siege for more than four years, It was surprisingly effective - quickly and avoiding civilian casualties.

It was overcome and the main obstacle, which previously restrained Syrian attempts to break through the blockade Dejr ez-Zor. The captured militants airbase on the western outskirts of the city was returned to the control of the Syrian army during the day, previously indifferent to this idle in the neighboring garrison. Thus it is not triggered conventional tricks using Islamic “Jihad-mobiley” and singles bomber. After returning to the air base, Syrian troops entered the rear of the rebels from the south-eastern outskirts of Deir ez-Zor and the next day crossed the Euphrates.

A decisive role was as fast developments have played Russian fighters, that with a jeweler's precision carried out sabotage and reconnaissance tasks: went into the rear of the enemy small groups and lanes were cut out portions to penetrate elite Syrian SWAT “Tiger”. It is on “tigers” the famous General Suhail cite official sources at raportovanii victory in Deir ez-Zor, leaving behind the scenes “workhorses” Syrian success.

PMCs Wagner in Syria first became known after the first release of Palmyra in May 2016 of the year. In reality, unique skills Russian volunteers have been involved from the beginning of the antiterrorist operation in Syria. Even before the Russian-based videoconferencing in Latakia they prepared the site for security of the Russian garrison in Hmeymime, and then brought all the complex sections of the front.

PMC Wagner repeatedly showed its high performance everywhere, where required to insure the rear of the Syrian army and save the lives of the civilian population in a close combat. Not surprising, what today, Experts reports, they are the only, who is on the farthest outskirts of the IG on the left bank of the Euphrates. Recall, that it is through forced march vagnerovtsev on the eastern outskirts of the settlement Hisham, Syrian troops were able to secure a bridgehead for further advances in the south-east towards the border with Iraq.

Besides, PMC soldiers Wagner also known as reliable guards Syrian oil and gas fields. In particular, thanks to their efforts, strategic fuel sources do not fall into the hands of insurgents north of Palmyra, even in the transfer of IG forces * between Akerbatskogo boiler. Naturally, that for most oil province of Syria - Deir ez-Zor - part vagnerovtsev became a matter of professional duty. Today Russian volunteers reserve the approaches of the Syrian army for the liberation of deposits on the left bank of the Euphrates.

In this way, victorious liberation of Deir ez-Zor put everything in its place, returning the nameless heroes of their deserved glory. PMC Wagner became the first in the Russian history of experience in the creation of alternative military structures and for a short time involvement in Syria has proven effective. Palmyra, aleppo, Deir ez-Zor - all these names are forever inscribed in the history of military glory PMCs, for which also hides the mass of unknown heights and villages, where Russian volunteer fighters forged a victory over terrorism in Syria.
