More than fifty specialists with experience in the manufacture and use of barrel bombs have been working in Russia with the Russian military for several weeks.
European officials believe technicians linked to Syria’s infamous military barrel bombs that crippled much of the country were sent to Russia to potentially help prepare for a similar campaign in war in Ukraine. This was reported by The Guardian on May 22, citing unknown European officials.
Intelligence officials said more than 50 specialists, each with extensive experience in the manufacture and delivery of crude explosives, had been in Russia for several weeks, working with officers from Vladimir Putin’s armed forces.
Barrel bombs are crude explosives packed in a drum and dropped from a helicopter. The regime is also regularly accused of filling chlorine canisters and dumping them in opposition-held cities, resulting in hundreds of deaths.
According to experts, due to the low level of accuracy, barrel bombs are used mainly in conditions of limited resources and a shortage of other types of weapons. This type of weapon was used to devastating effect throughout the Syrian war.
“We know that there is the potential to use barrel bombs, but if the Russian military uses them in Ukraine, they will be defeated; we will know who made them, and they will probably still be killed,” the unidentified sources said. resources.
It may be recalled that on May 18, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Yuri Borisov said that Russia was allegedly using the Zadir laser weapon system in Ukraine. According to him, we are talking about laser weapons, which are supposedly capable of physically hitting targets, delivering expensive missiles. The Pentagon later denied this information.
