To be honest, I never believe the reports when they say 50 guys here 100 here and 300 there.. IMO thats propaganda pushing kill counts as way to victory..

No one wants to hear 250 thousand dollar middle takes out 3 guys and a mortor, so I believe they fluff up these numbers. Watch Full Metal Jacket, for a scene on that...

All countries do the same, I mean think about it if it really was 100 to 300 Russian mercs or 50 to 100 ISIS guys here or there they'd run out of guys holding guns to shoot at..

Now in the 1st Desert Storm war in Iraq when we brutalized those Iraqi convoys, then yes that was 100s of people, but there was also lots of pictures of the carnage to suppprt the claims..
