Malhama Tactical

Malhama Tactical is a private military contractor operating in the Syrian Civil War. The group, founded by a pseudonymous Uzbeki jihadist called Abu Rofiq, is closely allied with Jabhat Fateh al-Sham and its successor group Tahrir al-Sham. Its six to ten members occasionally participate in combat and run guns, but primarily provide high-quality training. The company is known to have worked with Ahrar al-Sham and the Turkistan Islamic Party. Its leader Abu Rofiq was killed in an airstrike on February 7 2017.

History
The company was founded in 2015 and came to prominence in early 2017. They have been noted for their prolific and successful use of social media to advertise their services. Malhama Tactical is active in the Idlib-Aleppo region and participated in the successful attack on Ramouseh Artillery Base. Fighters are noted to be considerably better-trained than other Syrian fighters, although not as good as Western soldiers, and to be very well-equipped. They are well trained in medical care, which allows them to reduce their casualties.
