      The death of the Russian investigative journalist Maksim Borodin, who wrote about the deaths of mercenaries in Syria in mid-April 2018, was linked by the media to his publications about Wagner’s casualties in the clash at Khasham.

      Maksim Borodin (1985 – 15 April 2018) was a Russian investigative journalist. On 12 April 2018 he was severely injured after falling from his fifth-floor balcony in Yekaterinburg.[1] He was placed in a coma, but died from his injuries on 15 April.

      Some things never change.

      If you believe the US account, just … wow. The amount of air support firepower they dropped on OPFOR was just crazy. A bad day to be a Wagner merc for sure.

        The USA is all in on air superiority. We have the two largest air forces in the world, and they’re full of modern tech and well trained pilots and crewmen.
