A TEAM of elite former SAS soldiers have reportedly killed up 20 Russian generals in Ukraine and have vowed to fight to the death.
The 12-strong crack unit have spent six long weeks targeting powerful Kremlin officers during the war in Ukraine.
They also allegedly killed 15 of the feared Wagner mercenaries in an ambush last month.
A source told the Daily Star on Sunday: “They have around 120 years of special forces experience between them.
“They are completely self-supported and have access to explosives, weapons and ammunition. At least two are trained combat medics.”
All are veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, aged from 29 to 62, with the oldest a grandad.
