"Leaked audio recordings allegedly from Russian mercenaries in Syria captured deep lament and humiliation over a battle in early February where US forces killed as many as 300 Russians.

The audio tapes come from Polygraph.info, which receives funding from the US government. The voices in the audio corroborate reports from Reuters and Bloomberg that say hundreds of Russians died in a mismatched battle.

They also lament Russia denying the clash, and contradict statements from Russia's Foreign Ministry.

.....The Pentagon says that about 500 men began to fire on the position and that the US responded with air power and artillery strikes. The audio from Polygraph seems to confirm that while giving some insight into the feelings of the defeated forces.

Also apparent in the audio is displeasure with how Russia has responded to the situation.
Initially, Russia denied that its citizens took part in the clash.

Later, a representative said five may have died. Last week, Russia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the fight left "several dozen wounded" and that some had died. The voices heard in the audio recordings report losing about 200 men "right away."

The Washington Post has reported that US intelligence reports with intercepted communications show that a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin "secured permission" from the Kremlin before the advance on the US forces.
