Russian Spetsnaz
Ramzan Kadyrov sent his guys to the Middle East well before an Islamic State appeared on the scene.

Remember the story about Chechen teams of Russian spetsnaz winning the Special Forces World Championship in Jordan a year ago? Well, it turns out they are now there fighting ISIS on the ground. But not in the way one would probably expect. Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov tells Russian TV that at the very dawn of the civil war in Syria, his men infiltrated the jihadists. Now when Russia is intervening militarily in Syria, its commanders know where to strike and get feedback on the results.

Watch this video that discloses and details the operation to the general public as much as possible.
