Syrian state TV reportedly broadcasts footage of Russian soldiers and armoured vehicle fighting alongside pro-Assad troops

Russian troops are fighting alongside pro-Assad forces in Syria, state television in Damascus and several reports have claimed.

The video footage claimed to show troops and a Russian armoured vehicle fighting Syrian rebels alongside President Bashar al-Assad's troops in Latakia.

It is reportedly possible to hear Russian being spoken by the troops in the footage.

In further indications of Russian "mission creep" in Syria, a Twitter account linked to Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qaeda's Syrian branch, published images of what appeared to be Russian planes and drones flying over Idlib.

And a Russian naval vessel was photographed heading south through the Bosphorus strait carrying large amounts of military equipment, according to social media and a shipping blog.

3. 2:30 - "Pavlin, Pavlin!" ("Peacock, Peacock")

Assad will unfortunately not win this war because too many of his men were killed and he has not enough young men to recruit. But at least he should try to kill as much as possible of this scum. After this Islamists destroyed Syria, they will go to Turkey and the Caucasus and from here they will try to great chaos in Russia and Europe. I don't care who bombs this scum as long as they are killed and we have less of them in this world
