Pentagon releases video of air strike taking out pro-regime Syrian forces shelling a US-backed position
Alex Lockie

The US military has released footage from a massive battle that reportedly took place between Russian military contractors and the US and its Syrian allies in early February.

The battle, wherein 500 or so pro-Syrian regime forces advanced towards a known US position in western Syria and fired with tanks and artillery, reportedly ended with up to 300 attackers killed by US airpower and artillery.

In the video shared by the Pentagon, the US said it was responding to an "unprovoked attack." Later reports indicated the attacking force was mostly Russian, potentially making this one of the deadliest clashes between US and Russian fighters in decades.
