'A brave Russian special forces soldier who was on a Rambo-style one man mission to hunt for ISIS militants died a "hero" after calling in an airstrike on HIMSELF.

The fearless officer was directing Russian airstrikes at Islamic State targets near the ancient city of Palmyra in Syria when he was surrounded by terrorists.

Not prepared to go down without a fight, he ordered military officials to drop bombs on his location and died in the blast.'

(( RIP the hero.

THAT's how you fight terrorism. Not recoloring your facebook avatars...

I will believe the full story from a Russian source when they have a news media not fully controlled by the governement.  I can't think of a better way to spin their first ground combat death to the public.

 

Of course if it is true good job, and either way he probably is a hero.

It's a UK story in the link. Admitedly The Mirror is a tabloid so its stories aren't the most reliable but it's not from Russian media.
