The Turkish forces have been butting heads with the Wagner Nazis in Syria, according to one of our former Turkish member and trust me they’ve been getting what they deserve there too.

In 2018 wasn't it the wags that conducted a full armored/artillery assault on the US special ops post in Syria? Most of the lot got JDAM-ed and Javelin-ed all the way to hell. Preview.

Yes, the entire Wagner unit was destroyed. Approximately 300 dead and all their armored vehicles destroyed. How stupid of them.

The US is usually very open about sharing battlefield footage with the media. In four years there hasn't been any footage of the actual battle that I know of that has been released. That they haven't imo shows that they realize this would create too much anger in Russia. Based on Russian wives asking what happened to their husbands I can imagine why, and there will be plenty of wives that didn't make it to the news. 30 contractors missing from a single region, Russia has many regions. That footage would show 3 Russian motorized infantry companies being annihilated.

From the town of Asbest. Probably had an easier death this way ?

Very tight lid on it. Most of the info comes from the Wagner survivors.

Pretty close to Turkey there, might be scared of engaging up there, (and pure guess) they may have been stood down through deconfliction, as on the face of this it's in Syria's interest too.
Russkies have been hitting targets in Syria for the past week or 2 allegedly taking out ISIS leaders too.
Not sure what to make of these developments.
Off topic kinda:

Ruskis need to roll it up and move on would be my bet - all those assets sat in Syria are not helping in the Ukr

Or they can be a distraction so they can report some good news without it being picked apart within 5 minutes even by most Russians.

Or this is the Russian air force's excuse for not doing much in Ukraine, bogged down in Syria after all!
