«Cut off head and horrendous totures» — how Russian spetsnaz did not torment ISIS in Syria (PHOTO, VIDEO 18+)

«Cut off head and horrendous totures» — how Russian spetsnaz did not torment ISIS in Syria (PHOTO, VIDEO 18+)

This summer a number of Ukrainian and Wesern media published a video with some unidentified Russian-speaking men who were «cruelly torturing» a Syrian.

«Russian spetsnaz torture ISIS* fighter beating him with sledgehammer», — this was rough caption to the video.

«Russian servecemen torment a Syrian (18+)» — here is the title of news story by 24.ua TV channel.

«The video shows how Russian-speaking soldiers torture the man, break his limbs and beat him with sledgehammer. The tortures were accompanied with a song about Russian spetsnaz », — reads the article.

«„Russian soldier is power!“ — says one of the servicemen after he broke man’s hand», — authour of the “news” is blackening the picture.

«Russian Spring» tried to explore what was really going on on the footage.

We may put off the conclusion that there are Russian spetsnaz soldiers or any other regular army officers because of their apppearance: the men are poorly equipped, the wear different cloths which has nothing to do with Russian Armed Forces’military uniform.

What catches the eye next? They are armed with a very old АК-74 guns and РПК-74 machine guns which bear no camo coloring which is unlikley for the AF and especially spetsnaz. Wooden shoulders and ginger mags are long out of use in our army, anyway it is not used in Syria campaign.

Some media refer to the so called analytics from CIT who assumed that there were no regular army soldiers but mercenaries of the notorious пресловутой «wagner PMC» («private militay company»).

Netizens found a lot of peculiarities in the video.

For example, «there is a badge chevron which says: „I am going to hurt you really really bad“», — media says adding that the words are a quote fro Suicide squad movie.

But if you look closer you’ll see there is a mistake:

And the main thing — the inhumanity of the totures — strikes with a sledgehammer which allegedly break prisoner’sbones.

If you watch the video on slow mo or with a freeze-frame option you’ll see that all the strikes miss the limbs (see screenshots below).

There may be no mistake — each strike hits the ground. Besides there no screams fromthe victim. The only exception is the last one, it hits finger that is why we hear the first scream.

Now let’s focus our attention on the “cutt-off head”of some other man which may also be seen on the video. According to another version the man is buried in the sand till his neck which looks more real taking into account that the tortures look more like intimidation. Because if one man was decapitated in front of the other there will be no need in all that sledgehammer circus.

Which also raises questions is a very strange song playing in the backgoud: «I am Russian spetsnaz» which tells about Chechen war and the lyrics contains such words as: «The village burns, Chechen mother is running // She doesn’t want to give me her child, // So I take my gun off the shoulders, // Take the child and kill the mother».

Everything described above looks like a low-kwy video of some mediocre director.

* terror organizations banned in Russian Federation .

The photos show 5 strikes with a sledgehammer which were deliberately made off the feet and hands.
