Why is it in Arabic though ? It says something like “undefeated… Unbroken” in Arabic

Because it was in Syria, and the people slaughtered were a mix of local Syrian military/militia and Russian mercs.

The bits on the edge look like Arabic more than flames. What is the metal in that medal? Pot? Center image looks like a lumpy sandbag scarecrow wearing a huge parka.

There’s flames on the bottom, but the sides are definitely Arabic. Someone else said it’s “Unbroken Undefeated”, but I can’t read Arabic so I’m just taking their word for it.

i guess unbroken kinda makes sense if you didn’t die. but undefeated? they got their arses handed to them and that was it

The death of the Russian investigative journalist Maksim Borodin, who wrote about the deaths of mercenaries in Syria in mid-April 2018, was linked by the media to his publications about Wagner’s casualties in the clash at Khasham.

Maksim Borodin (1985 – 15 April 2018) was a Russian investigative journalist. On 12 April 2018 he was severely injured after falling from his fifth-floor balcony in Yekaterinburg.[1] He was placed in a coma, but died from his injuries on 15 April.

Some things never change.

If you believe the US account, just … wow. The amount of air support firepower they dropped on OPFOR was just crazy. A bad day to be a Wagner merc for sure.
