I read an article about it when it happened a few years ago.  Remember the news push about a battle at an airfield in syria where "30 Russian troops were killed"? I think it was in 2017. That is the event where 600+ were killed instantly. (It was more than 600 iirc, the 600 was the first strike) The media coverage was a big cover up.  The survivor goes on to talk about how US Artillery and helicopters (After the initial 600 were killed) were forcing them to run around in big circles, essentially playing with them while they blew them to bits. The SOLDIERS could see they were the mouse getting toyed with by the cat. And many of them died in that shit-covered desert.  I wish I could find the article, it was on a small military website that had translated the info from one of the Russian survivors.
