Widening gulf: As this Airwars chart shows, alleged Coalition casualty events in Iraq and Syria have outweighed those attributed to Russia in Syria for the last eight months. Between June and August, the gap between reported Russian and Coalition actions has widened as likely Coalition deaths in Iraq and Syria have continued to climb. In August, reported Russian actions were at an all time low since Moscow's campaign in Syria began in October 2015. There were over 3 and a half more events attributed to the Coalition in August as there were to Russia.
