According to a high-ranking source in the Syrian Ministry of Defense, several hundred employees of the Syrian special forces Al-Waadat al-Qassa have landed on the territory of the United States recently on a legal and illegal basis. Combat groups of 3 to 7 people are equipped with everything necessary and have the goal of conducting sabotage operations in the event of a US strike on Syria.
They include employees of European, Asian and Latin American appearance who know English well, many of them served in similar units in other countries.
All employees underwent special training to adapt to the conditions of the United States, many of them have been to this country more than once.
The objectives of the operation will be control and infrastructure facilities in the most densely populated US states - railways, electrical substations, power plants, hydraulic structures, oil and gas terminals, military, mainly aviation and naval bases. The US operations will suffer billions of dollars in damage.
Terrorist acts against civilians will not be carried out.
As the officer noted, this decision was made by the Syrian leadership, based on the experience of the wars in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, where the repulse of aggression consisted in a purely defensive strategy, which in advance doomed these countries to defeat. "You don't win a war on defense …" - said the source.
The Syrian Special Forces were created in 1958 and currently include one division and eighteen separate special forces regiments (groups). Their training was carried out by Soviet military instructors.
In the 1960s, Syrian commandos made numerous forays into Israel, where they ambushed transport convoys using rocket launchers.
In 1973, during the Yom Kippur War, a mixed unit of the 82nd Airborne Battalion and the 1st Commando Group, after a merciless hand-to-hand fight, captured a reconnaissance center and a command post on Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights.
In 1982, in Lebanon, a group of Syrian commandos armed with RPG-7, ATGM "Fagot" and "Milan" successfully covered the withdrawal of the Syrian 1st Armored Division. By organizing a series of ambushes, they were able to significantly slow down the advance of the motorized columns of the Israeli army. Combat groups of 4-6 commandos, acting from ambushes, actually thwarted the offensive of the Israeli tankers.
The special forces of Syria, according to experts, are well trained, has a rich successful experience of conducting hostilities in Israel, Lebanon, as well as in Syria itself, where in the last year alone they have destroyed several thousand foreign mercenaries, including active members of foreign special services …
The Syrian Ministry of Defense is confident in the success of the operations if they are carried out, since the United States, according to him, is completely unprepared to conduct hostilities on its territory.
