Over 10,000 opposition members fight Daesh alongside Syrian army
Over 10,000 opposition members are fighting Daes terrorists alongside the Syrian Armed Forces, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation stated on Friday.
More than 10,500 members of the Syrian Democratic Forces are fighting today against the Daesh terrorists (ISIL/ISIS) alongside the Syrian armed forces, chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Sergei Rudskoy said.

During the Russian operation in Syria over 200 towns were liberated form terrorists, he said.

Moreover, the Syrian opposition provided the Russian Armed Forces with information about every fifth terrorist target, Rudskoy noted.

The Russian operation in Syria forced terrorists to operate under less than ideal conditions, such as fuel, ammunition and food shortages, the statement said.
