ALEPPO, Syria (Sputnik) - Earlier, a private military company representative studying drones in Syria told Sputnik about the Ukrainian instructors training Syrian terrorists to use their tactics. He added that the militants have started using kamikaze drones at night, which means that the UAVs are already equipped with night vision.
The Ukrainian instructors are teaching Syrian terrorists how to use kamikaze drones against the positions of Russian forces in the Idlib de-escalation zone and the rest of Syria, a renegade from the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham* told Sputnik on Thursday.
"After the training was over, we discovered that the experts present were of Ukrainian nationality. They were preparing young people from the ranks of militants to use kamikaze drones in attacks on the positions of Russian forces in Idlib and across Syria," the renegade, who goes by the call sign Muhammad Al Idlibi, said.
