Don't forget that Russian Forces only provided intel gathering, air support, logistics and special forces on the ground. In addition to this the allies are Syrians, who no offence, aren't most disciplined warriors out there..
Don't forget: systematic and deliberate bombing of hospitals and civilian infrastructure. That was classy, and Ukrainians know what to expect... I should not mention that video of Russians beating a Syrian guy to death, and trying to sever his limbs with a shovel before hanging his corpse upside down and burning it, they were "employed by a private company"... Good guys.
