A 19 year-old assigned to a Russia Su-25 unit now deployed to Syria has died there on Oct. 24. Vadim Kostenko is said to have hanged himself because of a relationship problem with his girlfriend. He is the first Russian serviceman confirmed to have died in Syria after Moscow started air strikes in the country.
