Something is very wrong with the numbers provided by the Russian Defense Ministry about the area liberated from terrorists in Syria.
On October 24, many Russian media outlets, including state-run, quoted a statement of Russian Defense Ministry Sergey Shoigu that since the start of the Russian military operation in Syria, 503,223 km2 have been liberated from terrorists.
The total area of Syria is about 185,180 km2. So, 2.71 Syrias have been liberated so far, according to Shoigu.
In June 2017, another questionable incident appeared in the third part of Oliver Stone’s Showtime special “The Putin Interviews” when Russian President Vladimir Putin showed filmmaker Oliver Stone footage of an alleged US helicopter shooting Tliban extremists in Afghanistan and told him it was the Russian Aerospace Forces operating in Syria.
In the both cases, the problems were likely caused by mistakes of the middle- or low-level press staff involved in the process of providing numbers, facts and videos for statements of the Russian leadership.

They meant 50k km^2 and the video Putin showed was not of US air strikes but of Russian choppers against Isis in palmyra. Why would Putin even choose a US video when there are more than 10k videos of Russian air strikes?
Google those ‘Russian Airstrike videos’ and see what you get. Some of them aren’t.
Google is paying 97$ per hour,with weekly payouts.You can also avail this. On tuesday I got a brand new Land Rover Range Rover from having earned $11752 this last four weeks..with-out any doubt it’s the most-comfortable job I have ever done .. It sounds unbelievable but you wont forgive yourself if you don’t check it !df141d: ➽➽ ➽➽;➽➽ http://GoogleInternetPlanetComunityWorkFromHome/make/more… ★✫★★✫★✫★★✫★✫★★✫★✫★★✫★✫★★✫★✫★★✫★✫★★✫★✫★★✫★✫★★✫★✫★★✫★✫:::::!df141lhh
He isn’t the one who chose it, some aide edited some videos together, the idiot didn’t know it would be shown on TV so put what looked best in there …
Sh*t happens. Yesterday President Poroshenko of the EUkraine tweeted a photograph of Jews being ‘resettled’ out of the Lodz ghetto , claiming it was Ukrainians being forceably removed by the Soviets. The Holocaust Museum in New York called him on using a photo from their archive.
If your neighbour beats a man, does that justify you beating a man too?
If the man deserves the beating then yes… of course? Are you dutchnationals soft in the head?
Sort of like when you could catch a ‘nie-blank’ in the wrong neighbourhood in the good old days?
The big difference is that in the case of Russian media this clearly has been a mistake. In case of western mainstream media those “mistakes” are almost always deliberate propaganda.
The same man? Of course if you think he’s going to beat you too. It’s called ‘being a friend’ and it happens on a world scale all the time.
Don’t tempt me Dutch :)
It has the last monthsbeen noticed quite often that the veracity of Russian news/info is more related to propaganda or even outright lies then to reality.
It has been remarked that to divide russian numbers by ten the probability rises sharply. Indeed, a gain of some 50k km2 does sound like reality.
Well spotted by SF.
And why would someone lied in this stupid manner troll? It is obviously a mistake.. Only a halfwit would think otherwise…
That’s what he’s :)
How much do your masters pay you to come spew your ignorant hatred here at South Front? Probably not enough to move out of your mothers basement?
You are here all the time just attacking the Russians and Syrians without deviation. What does that say about you dutchnational?
That your the very definition of a government sponsored troll and you make it all too obvious with your comments.
So, back to my previous point about how much they pay you… Whatever it is your overcharging, its just not worth this low level propaganda of yours.
And 500 000km2 divided by 10 is 50 000km2 not 50km2 genius!
I really hope that he receives a salary in exchange for what he does, just like a true שבס גוי
Still upset about the 57 to 0 loss to the All Blacks ?
how is this thread related to rugby for FS ? upset or not, he at least keeps straight and isn’t the one out of the mark here !
Another Springbok shedding crocodile tears! Your team plays like a bunch of girls! ?
he wrote 50k (k = kilo = 1000)
Could have sworn that you have been reading western msm and listening to your politicians too much :) This here is just a typo, what you do is a complete disinformation and twisting of facts
Its because Russia Coalition had to liberate some areas many times. As you know many ISIS/Al-Qaida commanders also die many times in the MSM. Latest Abū Bakr al-Baghdadi the Mossad agent and US leader of ISIS was killed by a Russian airstrike but a few weeks later seen driving around in an American limousine in the outskirts of Mosul.
Oops! What a gaff! Actually it is 53,223 km2. The ‘0’ should not be there.
Maybe the size is the projected area to be liberated by Syria which probably included the Golan Heights and the whole of zionist Israel which is good! hahaha
is this the same author that was confounding square meters with square kilometers some months ago?
Also, how’s the Stone incident related to square meters?
if SF needs to publish jokes I could provide better ones instead of this garbage.
Could the figure relate to the area actually taken from ISIS and include Iraq. Just asking?
SouthFront kindly refrain from generalization, you’ve earned your grades and don’t need to please MSM and their troll army down this thread !
I trust Everyone here knows how to search and fetch truth for him/her-self and clearly knows who’s who !
it is so simple. 503,223Km + vodka = 185,180Km simple math. what’s not to understand?
Stranger than the error of the amount – which MIGHT have been, and probably was, an error in the publication – is the accuracy of the area released … Next time they should provide with two decimal places.
