Alí Hajdar: Teroristů máte v Evropě spousty

Se syrským ministrem pro otázky národního usmíření a současně opozičním členem jinak převážně baasistické vlády prezidenta Bašára Asada, o tom, kteří Syřané vlastně prchají do Evropy, nebo o skutečném významu „kurdské otázky“ pro budoucnost země.

A navíc, dnes není ani tak obecně problém s objemem pomoci, který je Sýrii nabízen, potíž je v samotném principu a jeho nastavení, které umožňuje nezměrnou korupci. Týká se to přitom i některých agentur OSN, které pomáhají Syřanům v Turecku, Jordánsku nebo Libanonu. Například libanonské ministerstvo školství dostává 600 dolarů na každého syrského uprchlíka školního věku, kterých tam má být na 400 tisíc. Oněch 600 dolarů by přitom v Sýrii stačilo čtyřem rodinám na jídlo, střechu nad hlavou, zdravotní péči i vzdělání jejich dětí. Nebo jinak, kdyby se peníze vynakládané na syrské studenty v Libanonu převedly do Sýrie, vystačily by pro pokrytí potřeb jednoho milionu vnitřních uprchlíků. A co víc, formálně se pomoc vyplácí 400 tisícům syrských studentů v Libanonu, i když jich tam není ani sto tisíc… Malá ukázka toho, jak velká korupce kolem „pomoci Sýrii“ bují, zatímco my tu máme negramotné děti.

Valery Gerasimo: Ruské operace v Sýrii
ru: https://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/3897128.html

eng (z důvodu obsáhlosti rozděleno na dvě části)

část první:

Interview with the Chief of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces Gerasimov on the outcome of the operation of the Armed Forces in Syria and on the future prospects of the Syrian war.
Quite a lot of interesting details that were not previously voiced.

- Valery Vasilyevich, how in the autumn of 2015 we managed to quickly and secretly transfer our large group of troops to Syria? I then read in the American press that the generals there were almost panic-stricken. They did not expect such a quickness from our army. And even complained that their intelligence was late ...

VG: - The operation was carefully planned, all the issues were taken into account, the necessary forces and means were identified. There is a view of the combat component, and the providing component. But we had practically no experience in carrying out the transfer of troops and forces to such a distance, on the territory of the state that does not border on our country. There was only one example in 1962 - Operation Anadyr, when the USSR transferred troops to Cuba. We also took that experience into account. Useful and the training of our units, obtained during the conduct of sudden checks. In the course of them, long-distance transport was developed, using all types of transport ... aviation, rail, sea. Regrouping was carried out as secretly as possible, without attracting special attention. At the airfield of Khmeimim 50 units of aviation equipment were concentrated ...

WB: - For what period? For a month, for a week?

VG: - Somewhere up to a month all this took ... More time was required by the providing component. It was necessary to create an infrastructure, a system of comprehensive support, including material and technical.

WB: - Why did our General Staff initially not envisage the use of land units and units when planning an operation in Syria, and the main emphasis was on aviation? What was the "trick" here?

VG: - We assessed the state of the land forces of the armed forces of Syria. Despite the fact that they took part in hostilities for a long time, they suffered losses, some parts still were able to carry out tasks. It was necessary to solve the problems primarily in the exploration of targets, their fire damage, violation of the enemy's control system. It was precisely these tasks that our aerospace component could solve. And directly on land directions, fighting was conducted by Syrian units with the participation of our military advisers. There were also detachments of patriotically minded sections of the population.
Therefore, initially the deployment of the land component was not envisaged.
Another important task is to organize the management of all troops and forces taking part in hostilities. For this purpose, the command post of our group in Khmeimim and the command posts on the directions where military operations are conducted were deployed.

WB: - And how did our General Staff take into account the specifics of the tactics of terrorists? What was the main attention here?

VG: - We have experience of fighting terrorists, and we, of course, took it into account. In addition, with the beginning of events in Syria, the General Staff monitored the situation and knew the specifics of the tactics of the actions of these gangs. We understood that in addition to terrorist actions, they also use tactical methods. At the head of these bandit formations were commanders specially trained by instructors from a number of countries in the Middle East and Western countries. There were former officers of the Iraqi army. They seized a large number of weapons and equipment of the Iraqi and Syrian armies during the period of hostilities. Tanks and armored cars alone were in service with them up to 1500. Plus, there were 1200 guns and mortars somewhere. It was actually a regular army.

WB: - And what is the maximum number of terrorists you remember from reports of intelligence? At the time when we started the operation?

VG: - As of September 30, 2015, there were about 59 thousand of them in Syria in all formations. Plus, over the past 2 years, they have managed to recruit another 10,000 ...

WB: - A full-fledged army, you can say ...

VG: - But for these 2 years, according to our data, about 60,000 militants have been killed, more than 2,800 of them come from the Russian Federation.

WB: - The Americans reported that the air force of their coalition before September 30, 2015 made about 7,000 sorties. They bombed for two years. But why did it happen that before our entry into the war with terrorists, they increased control over the territory of Syria from 20 percent to 70 percent? What did the American coalition do there?

VG: - It seems to me that the coalition did not set the task at that time, and now, on the final rout of IGIL. Look, the number of strikes of the international coalition all this time was 8-10 per day. Our air force inflicted 60-70 blows daily on militants, on infrastructure, on their bases with rather small forces. And in periods of the highest tension - about 120-140 beats per day. Only such methods could break the backbone of international terrorism in Syria. And 8-10 blows per day ... Well, apparently the goals of the coalition were different. The goal was something they basically put - the struggle with Assad, and not with IGIL.

WB: - For the first time since the establishment of the National Center for Defense Management, where we are now, the General Staff and the Defense Ministry have been using this structure to the full. How did she show herself?

VG: - The creation of the National Center for Defense Management radically changed the approaches to the management of the entire military organization of the state. In particular, we have felt this on the experience of conducting operations in Syria. When all types of communication are available, daily data collection and analysis of the situation are organized. Work has become comfortable, and we do not feel lack of information.

WB: - In the "on line" mode, many tasks were solved?

VG: - Of course. Strikes, for example, our aircraft, missile forces, high-precision long-range weapons, we watched with the Minister of Defense on the screens, in real time.
UAV transmits the picture, the commander sees it at the command post in Khmeimim and we see the same thing in Moscow. But he rules, Commander!

WB: - Why for more than two years of our operation in Syria and failed to agree with the coalition led by the United States on the joint struggle?

VG: - We tried to come to an agreement from the very beginning, and we got something. Have concluded the Memorandum about observance of safety of flights of aircraft. By the way, this Memorandum is conscientiously observed by both parties. We concluded an agreement with the Americans and with Jordan, according to which the Southern zone of de-escalation was created. It was the first such zone in Syria. This was a major breakthrough. All our other proposals for organizing joint planning, conducting reconnaissance, destroying terrorists, stumbled upon misunderstanding, refusal ... We did not see from their side the desire to interact. Although, of course, this would be of great benefit. Joint planning, striking, conducting operations ...

WB: - Nevertheless, the Americans made some claims to us ... They say our planes were too dangerous to fly to their planes ... What really happened?

VG: - With the deployment of military operations and the approach of the Syrian government troops to the Euphrates in the east of Syria, we, indeed, with the Americans have established zones for differentiating the actions of our air force and the international coalition. What is it? West of the Euphrates is our aviation (VKS), to the east - the American one. But not all along the Euphrates, but along the line of de-escalation.

WB: - Was it marked on maps?

VG: - Yes, it is marked. If you imagine a map, then the level of Deir ez-Zor ... And to the east we go ... Suvar, Abert Laba, and the transition to the border with Iraq. It is somewhere on the order of 120-130 kilometers from Abu Kemal to the north. In this triangle, joint actions were planned. Just the area where there were active fighting. In this area, east of the Euphrates, the joint use of both the VCS and the aviation of the international coalition was envisaged, with notification to the relevant party. And there were no problems. One unpleasant incident occurred on December 13.

WB: - And what is the essence of this case?

VG: - Two Su-25 airplanes of our VKS performed reconnaissance and search missions in the western part of the Euphrates River valley. Nobody went to the east. There was also our Su-35. The American F-22 aircraft left the eastern part of Syria, imitated several calls, designated an attack, fired off heat traps. He was at a great height, then dived to a lower one. Up to our aircraft was less than a hundred meters. He represented a real danger. Our Su-35 came up. F-22 immediately left to the east, to its zone. It took 20 minutes. Su-35 went to perform its tasks. Again, the F-22 appears ...

WB: - The same?

VG: - The same. Again the same story. Again comes the Su-35. Only he appeared - F-22 left. The American was playing a dangerous game.

WB: - The Americans in Syria have established their base. Is she still eating?

VG: - Yes, there is. This is Tanf.

WB: - And what do they, according to your information, do there?

VG: - This base in the south of Syria, it is limited to a site of a radius of 55 kilometers. This is the border of Syria, Jordan and Iraq. There is a base. According to the data of space and other types of reconnaissance, there are detachments of militants on it. They are actually preparing there. Moreover, the British television channel BBC recently reported how the evacuation of the militants from Rakka was organized. Four hundred people were taken by Kurds under the cover of Americans to Shaddadie camp - this is in the northeast of Syria. This is the territory controlled by the Kurds and there is also an American base. In addition, about 800 people from the eastern shore of the Euphrates, from the area where the Kurds were advancing, arrived in the Shaddad camp ...

WB: - It's all nedobitki ...

VG: - This is in fact - IGIL. But after the work done with them, they are repainted, take a different name - "New Syrian Army" and others. Their task is to destabilize the situation. We know that about 400 people left the Shaddady camp in the area of ​​El Tanf. After the main IGIL forces were defeated, they tried to destabilize the situation, advancing from the eastern shore of the Euphrates. But they suffered losses. We think that somewhere around 750 people are now in Shaddady and about 350 in El Tanf.

WB: - You mean the militants?

VG: - Yes, the militants. In El Tanf, the entire territory is blocked by Syrian troops along the perimeter of this 55-kilometer zone. Most importantly - for several months we have seen the nomination of militants from there. When control was weaker, even about 350 militants came from the area of ​​El Tanf. There was a threat of the capture of the city of Karjaten in Syria. We took action on time ... It was defeated, these forces were crushed. There were prisoners from these camps. Clearly, there is preparation. Moreover, there is the Rukban refugee camp, the largest in Syria.

WB: - Right there? In this zone?

VG: - Right in this zone, somewhere 25 kilometers to the west of El Tanf. There are over 50 thousand Syrian refugees. In Syria, the Center for Reconciliation as part of the Russian military group was created.
He is in fact coordinating and directing the delivery of all humanitarian aid, humanitarian convoys, our Russian, United Nations. Everywhere these convoys go, although problems that need to be resolved both with the government and with the UN are enough, but in Rukban it does not work out: the Americans do not allow them there - neither the Syrians nor another convoy. People are tormented. We say: the location of this American base is contrary to common sense. Now, even more so - the territory of Syria has been liberated from all the gangs of IGIL, there is no one left, there is no threat from the territory of Syria. What is there? For what purpose? While the answers are unintelligible. But there may be new terrorist groups ...

VB: - Now you have said that new armed groups are being created, American instructors are training militants ... And we will not have to return to Syria those aircraft and helicopters, the personnel that are now being sent to Russia?

VG: - We have, as you know, two bases left. One in Hmeimime, air-force, and the second, naval, in Tartus. In addition, we are closely engaged in government Syrian troops, our advisers are in virtually all divisions. For two years, officers, junior commanders of the Syrian army received great practice. Now they are capable of fighting and defending their territory. With our forces, from our bases we can render assistance if necessary. These forces are sufficient to maintain the stability and territorial integrity of Syria.

WB: - I correctly understood that we are leaving these two bases to continue to help the Syrian government army, right?

VG: - Yes, because the situation is still unstable.
Until complete stability, some time is needed, so the bases there are justified, they are needed there. In order not to repeat what happened before September 2015 ... On the other hand, we must not forget that Russia has its own interests in the Middle East ...

WB: - During the operation in Syria, as often you and the Minister Defense had to discuss the progress of the operation with the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. This was done face to face in the Kremlin, at the General Staff or on the phone?

VG: - Differently. Usually I report to the Minister of Defense every morning and evening about the state of affairs and the progress of tasks, and he reports to the President. 1 - 2 times a week the Minister reports to the President personally, presenting the necessary documents, maps, video materials. Sometimes the Supreme Commander goes personally to me, sometimes together with the Minister we go to him for a report. The president sets goals, tasks, he is aware of the whole dynamics of military operations. And, on every direction. And, of course, he sets the tasks for the future.

část druhá

WB: - The Department of Information of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, and the General Staff almost every day informed the public almost after every missile and bomb strike against terrorists in Syria. Why, in your opinion, the American coalition did not do the same thing?

VG: - About 8 months ago, they also began to inform, provide a summary. Of course, the difference is fundamental. They are from time to time, and we are in daily mode. The Center for Reconciliation acts, gives a summary of all the issues, and the Information Department, the Main Operations Department ... Why should people wonder what is happening there? We must tell you what happened during the day, what plans ...

WB: - What was the most difficult for the General Staff in planning a military operation in Syria?

VG: - The most difficult in preparation and in the initial period of the operation is the organization of interaction with government troops, with all the different groups. Many detachments from the patriotic population. They are armed, we are attracting them to the side of government troops. It was not easy to establish the interaction of all these units with our Aerospace forces, to organize all types of security. But we have already learned this. Everything is within the framework and works normally. In Khemeymim, a modern command post has been set up, which manages the grouping of our troops in Syria. Work is coordinated.

WB: - What adjustments did the General Staff make to the actions of our troops in the fight against terrorism? Still, it was essentially the first clash of our troops with such large formations of thugs in Russia's history.

VG: - Adjustments are made constantly. Because approaches, forms, ways of actions change. First, in small quantities, then the use of jihad mobile by terrorists became more widespread. And this had to be reacted ...
Thus, during the fighting for Deir ez Zor, for other settlements in the valley of the Euphrates River, the use of jihad-mobile has become almost a mass character. At first there were 2-3 jihad mobile phones, and then 7-8 each in one battle. What it is? It's a car, an infantry fighting vehicle or a tank stuffed with explosives. There may be 300-400 kilograms of explosives or more. The suicide bomber controls it. He chooses the shortest path to the positions of government troops. At high speed, it is advancing towards them and carrying out detonation. There can be two or three such machines.
On this sector of the front - massive losses, many killed, wounded. This is a huge explosion force. Panic ... There is a gap - depending on the power of the explosive and the number of jihad mobile phones used. In the summer of 2016, in the Aleppo region, three jihad mobile phones managed to leave the city in this way. Two block posts of Syrian government troops were blown up. A gap of 500-700 meters was formed. The actions of the militants were planned in advance, they struck both sides of this corridor and broke through the encirclement. Then I had to restore the lost positions about three months ago, and with heavy fighting.
Naturally, this does not fit into the framework of, let's say, normal military operations. But the conclusions had to be drawn ...

WB: - And what?

VG: - First, there is constant monitoring. Determine the road directions by which they can go. In these directions, fence junctions, minefields and so on are being built, a system of defensive destruction is being organized, starting from distant approaches. These are ATGMs, tanks, as they approach - grenade launchers. As a result, 2-3 jihad-mobile were destroyed at the stage of nomination, others - when approaching the front edge. The troops learned to counter them. In addition, all settlements were prepared by the Igilovites for circular defense, apparently there used to work the local civilian population. In fact, the second city was under construction under the ground: the communications routes, all the necessary infrastructure. Assault detachments must be able to fight in such conditions.

WB: - Where did the Igilovites get such a huge amount of "Toyot"?

VG: "All these years they have been helped by the flow from a number of states, including from the Middle East ... and through non-governmental foundations. Not only cars - it's just a civilian component. And also modern weapons, new ammunition, modern means ...
Intelligence, binoculars, night sights, communication systems - all modern, not antediluvian.

WB: - There are reports that some of the Igilovites already in Afghanistan were in Jordan. Where does this contagion spread?

VG: - Part returns to the countries where they came illegally. The bulk goes to Libya, to the countries of South-West Asia. In Afghanistan, it also can not be excluded, - the soil there is fertile there.

WB: - How do you assess the state of the armed forces of Syria at the beginning of the operation today?

VG: - The difference is big. The Syrian Armed Forces during the war, by the fall of 2015, virtually lost the entire territory. Under the control of government forces, 10% of the territory of Syria remained.

WB: - This is the moment we started the operation?

VG: - Yes. The situation was very difficult. And morale and fatigue. Lack of ammunition, necessary types of security, management. Our operation began, after a while there were first successes. Any victories inspire, inspire, now the Syrian army has got good experience. We helped them, repaired the equipment on the spot ... Today the Syrian army is able to carry out tasks to protect its territory.

WB: - How many of our military passed through the Syrian campaign?

VG: - 48-odd thousand soldiers and officers. Of these, one in four is awarded or submitted to a government award. Departmental awards have received everything.

WB: - How do you assess the role of our military advisers who worked in the Syrian army?

VG: - I appreciate their role. In each division-battalion, brigade, regiment, division-is the apparatus of the military adviser. In its composition - the necessary officials. This is the operational staff, scout, artilleryman, engineer, translators and other officials. They, in fact, are planning military operations. Assist in the management of units in the performance of combat missions. In all areas of action are tied together by a single plan, a single plan, guidance is provided from the command post of the group in Khmeimim.

WB: - Did the General Staff have the goal of rolling out as many military men in Syria as possible?

VG: - Yes. And we did it. Not just servicemen - the most important thing is to roll over commanders, officers. Commanders of the troops of the districts - all there have visited, and for a long time. Everyone was in command of the group. All the chiefs of staff ...

VB: They were replaced there 4 or 5, the commanders?

VG: - Dvornikov, Kartapolov, Surovikin, Zarudnitsky, Zhuravlev ...

VB: - You gave them the opportunity to direct this level, yes?

VG: - They came with the main staff of their administrative apparatus: the chiefs of operational control, intelligence, communications, missile forces and artillery, engineers ...

WB: - So they took their staffs, the whole apparatus ran?

VG: - In the same way, the management of the army is also everything, 90% of the divisions, and more than half of the regiments and brigades.

VB: - That is, we have now received the command staff, which is tempered in these battles ... Having a real combat experience.

VG: - They have combat experience, yes.

WB: - Valery, I would like to return once again to this question: we stay in Hmeimime, we stay in Tartus. You said, it's to help the Syrian army, right?

VG: - Yes, for possible help.

WB: - Yes. You did not mention the naval component. Some of the ships will be in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea? Just like we are standing there now? Our ships. Or are we leaving?

VG: - We will not go anywhere. In the Mediterranean, our permanent connection of ships now operates on an ongoing basis.

WB: - It also remains, right?

VG: - It was there and before the events in Syria was effective, from 2015.
And we will stay on an ongoing basis ...

WB: - You have visited Syria many times, met with our soldiers, officers, looked into their eyes ... What is your impression of communication with these people, with your subordinates? ... With those people who carried out your orders, the orders of the Supreme Commander, the Minister of Defense.

VG: - Impressions are good, most positive. Immediately striking desire to accomplish the task - by all means ... Good fighting coherence. And it's very good, because the officers go there without additional training, and by rotation ... For three months. This means that the whole system of combat training of troops and government bodies is working, people are ready to perform tasks, and there they show it in practice. Our officers, servicemen performed many heroic and courageous actions, demonstrated steadfastness, trained Syrians.
Over time, we came to the fact that there were more Syrian units that are capable of advancing and gained combat stability ... Brigadier General Hasan Suhel and his units showed themselves very well in offensive operations against terrorists.
But without our advisors, such a success would not have happened.

WB: - Will the lessons of the Syrian campaign be taken out by the General Staff?

VG: - The study and generalization of experience always occurs. From the first day of this campaign, such work was conducted ... All the cases that occurred, the experience of combat operations were thoroughly studied, brought to all units and to the military, who were only going to decrease there, so that all this was taken into account. We held several conferences on the exchange of experience. A number of manuals have been published summarizing this experience.

WB: - In Syria, a large number of our weapons were tested. How does the General Staff evaluate them?

VG: - We have tested more than 200 types of weapons and equipment, modern ones - those that were recently adopted, which were going to be accepted, which were already in service. It seems that all state tests passed, and everything is shown normally in the exercises ... But in the course of accomplishing the combat mission, there are some problems that were not noticed before. We have to refine something. Our officers and servicemen reported on the problems that arose. In Syria, continuous military-scientific support was provided for the use of all types of weapons and equipment.

VB: - They say that our designers and engineers were there, yes?

VG: - Engineers, designers, military scientists. Developers - everyone was there. For each model of weapons, its positive aspects are noted, which should be improved. Now the absolute majority of these shortcomings have been eliminated. The fact that we tested weapons and equipment in combat conditions is a huge deal.
Now we are confident in our weapons.

WB: - Have you often had to contact the chief of Syria's general staff for this time?

VG: - Often.

WB: Is this mostly done over the phone?

VG: - And on the phone, and personally. I came to him, and he came to me in Khmeimim ... We went together in separate directions. Constantly.

WB: - He knows Russian, already more or less talking?

VG: - He studied with us at the Frunze Academy.

WB: - Recently, the Minister of Defense on behalf of the President of Russia presented awards and announced gratitude to all those who provided security for Putin's visit to Syria. Well, on the day when, you know, when he announced the withdrawal of the group to their homeland. Was it a special operation?

VG: - Such events are not randomly conducted. Careful preparation is required. The necessary forces and means were drawn: on land, in the air, on the sea, ensuring the safety of this visit. They coped with their task.

WB: - Can you make a forecast for the further development of events in Syria? Now, at least for 2018?

VG: - On the military line - the completion of the destruction of rebels Djebhat an-Nusra and their ilk. Some of the militants of this terrorist organization are in the zones of de-escalation.
There are many different formations. Some support the regime of cessation of hostilities. Jebhath an-Nusra-categorically against. Hence, they will have to be destroyed.

WB: - Are these large factions?

VG: - Different. More - in Idlib, less - in other areas. Differently. I think that after a certain time they will be finished. Moreover, in the zones of de-escalation, the regime for the cessation of hostilities is maintained. There humanitarian aid arrives, social issues are resolved, everyday ...
The second task is to translate the military solution of the issue into a political channel. In the direction of political settlement. And she dares. Preparations are now underway for the Congress of the Syrian National Dialogue ...

VB: - Our long-range bombers, when they flew to combat duty in Syria, they also flew through the space of Iraq and Iran. Were there any problems when you requested airspace?

VG: - We have well established cooperation with the military of these countries and failures did not arise.

WB: - Never before has the Russian army used, in my opinion, as many drones as in Syria. How do you assess the value of this type of technology, given the Syrian experience?

VG: - In Syria, an average of about 60-70 drones are on the average daily in the sky. They conduct reconnaissance, there are drones, which perform the tasks of electronic suppression and solve other issues.
We made a big step over the pilotless for 5 years. We used to have only the old Soviet type "Flight". Now, without a drones, combat operations are unthinkable. It is used by artillerymen, scouts, pilots - all. With the help of unmanned vehicles, reconnaissance-strike, reconnaissance and fire contours are created.

WB: - And how did the Special Operations Forces show themselves in Syria?

VG: - The forces of special operations, in fact, passed their formation, showed themselves on the best side. They were engaged in directing aviation to the targets, liquidating the leaders of bandit formations, and a whole series of other tasks. We are very satisfied with the experience they have received.

WB: - All our military, who passed through Syria, will be recognized or have already been recognized as participants in the fighting?

VG: - Yes, there is an addition to the law "On Veterans", it is accepted, they are veterans of military operations.

WB: - In some media there are "opinions" that the Russian army had nothing to do in Syria. How would you respond to this?

VG: - If we did not interfere in Syria, what would happen? Look, in 2015 there was little more than 10% of the territory under the control of the government. A month or two, and by the end of 2015, Syria would have been completely under IGIL. Iraq is for the most part too. IGIL would gain momentum, spread to neighboring countries. Several thousand of our "tribesmen" went there to fight. We would have to face this force already on our territory. They would operate in the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Volga region. There would be problems of a much larger order. We broke the ridge of Igil in Syria. In fact, our Armed Forces defeated the enemy on the far approaches to the borders of our state.

VB: - What could the chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia wish the military, their families, in connection with the upcoming 2018?

VG: - Who wants the world most of all? Military. Therefore, I want to wish all servicemen and their families a peaceful sky above their heads, good health, and further success in the service.

Z Islámského státu zbylo v Sýrii a Iráku jen tisíc bojovníků

Na území Iráku a Sýrie operuje méně než tisícovka příslušníků džihádistické skupiny Islámský stát (IS), uvedla ve středu mezinárodní koalice, která pod vedením Spojených států bojuje na území zmiňovaných zemí proti samozvanému chalífátu. V prohlášení zaslaném agentuře Reuters koalice však upřesnila, že čísla nezahrnují oblasti v západní Sýrii, které má pod kontrolou syrský prezident Bašár Asad a jeho spojenci.
