This video is about Special Operation Forces of Russia activities in Syria and Palmyra.
Russian S.O. forces have been acting in Syria since 2015. Among the most known operations are the Palmyra offensive (March 2016, March 2017), the Battle of Aleppo (2016), when S.O. forces proved being very effective for target acquisition for Russian Air Force combat planes.
Special operations (S.O.) are military operations that are "special" or unconventional and carried out by dedicated special forces and other special operations forces units using unconventional methods and resources. Special operations may be performed independently of or in conjunction with, conventional military operations. The primary goal is to achieve a political or military objective where a conventional force requirement does not exist or might adversely affect the overall strategic outcome.
