SU-24 jet fighters opened up on ISIS targets today blasting communications centers, fuel depots, arms, and vehicles.

Russia warned the U.S. to clear the skies one hour before the start of the attacks and then went in with a vengeance.

SU-24 supersonic, all-weather attack aircraft

The Russian Air Force has begun carrying out airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Syria, the country’s Defense Ministry said.

Russian anti-terror op in Syria

"In accordance with the decision of the Supreme Commander of the Russian Armed Forces, Vladimir Putin, warplanes of the Russian Air Space Forces today [Wednesday] have started an aerial operation, involving pinpoint strikes on ground targets of Islamic State [IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL] terrorists in Syria,” spokesperson for the Russian Defense Ministry, Igor Konashenkov, said.

The Russia airstrikes are targeting military equipment, communication centers, vehicles, arms and fuel depots, belonging to IS terrorists, Konashenkov added.

Russia’s Rossiya 24 channel said that the first airstrikes were carried out by two Sukhoi Su-24 attack aircrafts “213km north of [the Syrian capital] Damascus” near the city of Hama.

Meanwhile, Syrian state television has named at least seven areas targeted by Russian air strikes. They include areas around the cities of Homs and Hama, which are separated from each other by 44 kilometers.

Earlier, a US official told Reuters that Moscow gave Washington one-hour advanced notice of its operations. The bombing is taking place in western Syria, near the city Homs, the official added.

A Pentagon official also told Russia’s RIA Novosti that Russia urged the US to clear the skies for the operation.

US State Department spokesman John Kirby said that Russia indeed requested that American aircraft avoid Syrian airspace during the Russian air missions, but the US military will not comply.

Russian Jets Carry Out 20 Sorties Against ISIS Targets in Syria

20:56 30.09.2015



Spokesman of the Russian Defense Ministry Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said that the Russian planes did not target civilian facilities or their vicinity in Syria.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russian military jets deployed in Syria on Wednesday carried out some 20 combat missions striking at least eight ISIL targets located in mountainous regions, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

"As a result of airstrikes ammunition and fuel depots, heavy military hardware, as well as command posts in the mountainous areas have been destroyed," spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said in a statement.

Konashenkov added that all sorties were carried out after thorough reconnaissance and close coordination with the Syrian army.

He also stressed that the Russian planes did not target civilian facilities or their vicinity.

Fuck. The proxy-war has begun. Assad and his Russian friends are dicks, but ISIS and the Jihadi infiltrated FSA are a potential threat to regional security.

Regrettably, I won't condemn the Russians degrading them back into a defensive posture.

This may force the rebels to agree to a unity government, even if it involves Assad.

I wish Assad got swept up in the Arab spring, but unfortunately the secularists and sensible rebels have largely been crushed. Assad is not great guy, but he's also not ISIS and is someone you can at least talk logically with.

Russia is in Syria to:

1. Support its ally against ISIS and Washington backed rebels who are transferring American weapons to Al Qaida and other radical Islamic jihadists.
2. Stop the slaughter of Eastern Orthodox Christians who make up 15% of Syria's population and lived in peace with Muslims for 4 decades under the secular government of the Assads.
3. Stop the destruction of the historic monuments and places of antiquity that do not fit in with the cultural cleansing agenda of ISIS.

In addition to the human victims of whom we are all well aware, ISIS is on a spree to raze the historic monuments of antiquity in Iraq and Syria from the face of the earth. During its campaign of cultural cleansing ISIS has razed:

IN IRAQ
NIMRUD - City of the Assyrian Kingdom which flourished from 900 BC to 600 BC;
KHORSABAD - Assyrian city and palace built between 717 BC to 706 BC;
MOSUL MUSEUM OF ANTIQUITY - including 173 pieces of antiquity;
MOSUL LIBRARY - including 18th century Ottoman texts and other priceless artifacts;
MOSQUE OF THE PROPHET/JOHAH'S TOMB -
HATRA - city founded by the successors of Alexander the Great around 300 BC;

IN SYRIA
ANCIENT CITY OF BOSRA;
GREAT MOSQUE OF ALEPPO;
CRAC DES CHEVALIERS - crusaders' castle;
SAINT SIMEON CHURCH

Anyone who is in his right mind can only wish Russia the best in their fight with ISIS!

According to many reports Russians are not firing on ISIS targets. No one knows as yet what their real intentions are and all that's come out so far is that they've only added to the civilian death count.
The Non-ISIS rebels, with the exception of the Kurds, are Radical Islamists.
Even the recently vetted groups have defected or surrendered their land and weapons to the Islamists.

Russian Airforce has already shown images of its strikes. Its clearly military targets.

They're doing what we should've done after the Radical Islamists overran the secular groups.

The Russians will degrade the rebels to a level that forces them to accept a national unity government. Putin's strikes will work because he has a clear goal.

The first rule of observing the real world "game of thrones" we see play out before us is to note that most everything is built upon convenient demagogic lies and distortion, for those comprise the fuel of democracy. President Obama's speech to the United Nations was riddled with half-truths, blatant falsehoods and, at best, deeply questionable assertions. As he said to the UN,

The evidence is overwhelming that the Assad regime used such weapons on August 21st. U.N. inspectors gave a clear accounting that advanced rockets fired large quantities of sarin gas at civilians. These rockets were fired from a regime-controlled neighborhood and landed in opposition neighborhoods. It's an insult to human reason and to the legitimacy of this institution to suggest that anyone other than the regime carried out this attack.
One does not have to support the Assad regime of Damascus to realize the blatant cherry-picking of facts here. Seymour Hersh illustrates in the London Review of Books that President Obama's alleged evidence is nowhere near "overwhelming." As Hersh writes,

Barack Obama did not tell the whole story this autumn when he tried to make the case that Bashar al-Assad was responsible for the chemical weapons attack near Damascus on 21 August. In some instances, he omitted important intelligence, and in others he presented assumptions as facts. Most significant, he failed to acknowledge something known to the US intelligence community: that the Syrian army is not the only party in the country's civil war with access to sarin, the erve agent that a UN study concluded--without assessing responsibility--had been used in the rocket attack. In the months before the attack, the American intelligence agencies produced a series of highly classified reports, culminating in a formal Operations Order--a planning document that precedes a ground invasion--citing evidence that the al-Nusra Front, a jihadi group affiliated with al-Qaida, had mastered the mechanics of creating sarin and was capable of manufacturing it in quantity. When the attack occurred al-Nusra should have been a suspect, but the administration cherry-picked intelligence to justify a strike against Assad.
President Obama has repeatedly fibbed or refused to tell the whole tale vis-à-vis the American intelligence agencies' own findings, and now fifty intelligence analysts are openly rebelling under the yoke of his administration as he goes about cherry-picking the intelligence as he sees fit to stitch together an ex post facto raisonn d'être. Could you imagine being an actually honest intelligence agent in the US government? How depressing would that be? As Pierce Brosnan's James Bond said of post-Soviet Russia, "Governments change; the lies stay the same." So it is true in America, whether the jackass or the elephant ass banner flies over Capitol Hill or the White House.

It's hardly surprising that the former CIA chief David Petraeus, after having been forced to resign, is overtly releasing a proposal that the US directly ally with the al-Nusra Front in the all-important mission to overthrow the Assad regime. Seems fairly matter-of-fact to establish that the American government has been clandestinely working with al-Nusra, the Syrian affiliate of al-Qaida, all along, and Petraeus is simply seeking to formalize the partnership.

As if the Syrian lies are not sufficiently embarrassing, here is President Obama on the subject of Libya:

n Libya, when the Security Council provided a mandate to protect civilians, America joined a coalition that took action. Because of what we did there, countless lives were saved and a tyrant could not kill his way back to power.

I know that some now criticize the action in Libya as an object lesson, that point to the problem that the country now confronts, a democratically elected government struggling to provide security, armed groups in some places, extremists ruling parts of the fractured land. And so these critics argue that any intervention to protect civilians is doomed to fail. Look at Libya.

And no one's more mindful of these problems than I am, for they have resulted in the death of four outstanding U.S. citizens who were committed to the Libyan people, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, a man whose courageous efforts helped save the city of Benghazi.

But does anyone truly believe that the situation in Libya would be better, if Gadhafi had been allowed to kill, imprison or brutalize his people into submission? It's far more likely that that without international action, Libya would now be engulfed in civil war and bloodshed.


This would be a supremely hilarious statement were it not so maddening. It's an embarrassment that the President of the United States is saying to the UN that the strike on Libya prevented the nation from becoming "engulfed in civil war and bloodshed." Does he not have any concept of what is occurring there right now?

There has yet to be any concrete evidence that the intelligence pointed to any sort of looming "genocide." Defense Intelligence Agency bureaucrats could never provide one shred of empirical data for any of the wild statements made by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that Gadhafi was ever even dreaming of, much less planning to, annihilate a considerable swath of civilians. It should be recalled that an increasingly high number of analysts at the Defense Intelligence Agency are going public about the agency's repeated "cooking" of intelligence on behalf of whatever the Obama administration sought at the given time.

Gadhafi never perpetrated genocide in cities which he had retaken. Ajdabiya, Misurata and Zawiya never saw Gadhafi regime-spearheaded acts of genocide. Those cities, together, have a population greater than Benghazi. And since one of the greatest liars in American history, Hillary Clinton, oversaw the entire operation, it's fairly reasonable to make one little assumption, that lies were thrown at the American people and allies of the United States (as well as to enemies), all on behalf of this administration's Libyan Islamist allies.

Putin's interests in Syria are not to create a bed of roses as his statement to the UN might have some believe but at least they are, to some extent, sensible. It's strictly realpolitik on Russia's part. We know that the top Islamic State military commander Tarkhan Batirashvili, otherwise known as Abu Omar al Shishani, was trained--in part--by US special forces.

And since we are discussing Russia for a moment, let us not forget about what is now happening in Ukraine. Following the Ukrainian government's banning of 34 journalists and seven bloggers from entering the country, the so-called "Maiden revolution" should be reexamined. As the Committee to Protect Journalists notes, the list of banned journalists is a fraction of a wider blacklist, on which there are no less than 388 names, belonging to well over 100 different organizations, and all are forbidden from entering the country on the familiar grounds of "national security." Considering that three BBC reporters were on the list, along with a German writer and two Spaniards were captured by operatives of the Islamic State in Syria, it's intriguing to note that the six Western journalists who created such an outcry were subsequently removed from the list. The remaining names stayed put.

As Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said in defense of the ban, the censoring of the international media was implemented "in coordination with our partners from the European Union, the United States of America and other countries." And this is why the American government has not even touched this issue openly vis-à-vis the State Department. Nor has the EU, and it was the EU and US State Department which conspired to place Poroshenko atop the Ukrainian regime's perch.

Poroshenko clearly does not want any members of the international media to cover the elections to take place locally throughout the Ukraine this autumn. And the US State Department and EU are both totally cool with that.

I like how people think Russia are merely bombing "ISIS". Wow! The problem that is going is between America and Russia. ISIS is only a small portion of the problem. Russia has been allied with Syria and support their regime. America does not support a so called "Terrorists" State. Yes, Syria was on the naughty list for advocating terrorism. America and Russia are bombing opposite sides and not just ISIS. Eventually, one will hit the other and shit will hit the fan. Now, I realize that is premature, but that's certainly going to be the result. This all somehow will lead to a major trade war with China and the United States. China will support Russia at this point. Meetings w/USA and China while the Pope (a front) was in the States went sour. Give it some time before there is an all our war with Russia and America. Syria is literally caught in between all of this. Why do you all think there is a huge refugee crisis?

There is no good answer to that question. Either ISIS has grown so much that it's truly a world threat, or there is War being held, or prepared for. I believe that a trade will war spark a split with the UN. These nations will fall into military turmoil. Remember the whole point of the UN was to keep from having anther major World War. No one ever though that The UN could ever split. I certainly think it can because we are in a Global Economic state. We are tied to one another. Why not break those ties? Former Soviet States would do better as the USSR. Breaking up Soviet Russia was a huge mistake economically speaking. China wants control of the labor in the South East Asian Pacific which Japan, Europe, and America have had a major hand in. It's a battle for labor on the horizon and it starts in Syria.

I'm really tired of this shit, Think about all the money these fuckwits waste on weapons, Imagine if they put that money into something constructive, imagine how much their quality of lives would improve not killing people and using war money to help people instead of killing them....fuck it be greedy take all money for yourself... but for fuck sake stop killing people already, shit....

I don't understand how they get any joy out of this shit, I don't care who's in charge of what, their dumb ass fuck, Now as far as the greed shit goes, i'm not having it, Lets say i'm obama, I'd ring up putin and say ''yo man, wassup, you wanna come to the states, drink some scotch and fuck some american women, and catch a football game after, Then next year i'll come their fuck some russian girls and we'll have snowball fights

'' you're rich, you've won stop shooting at each other'' If i could say one thing to both of them that would be it......

now as far as issis goes, i'm not going to pretend to know whats up with that shit.... but i still think they must be getting money from somewhere right ? why don't they use that money to fix their communities ? why not instead of making hatefilled videos.... you could... make peaceful ones instead, Maybe they could find an injured animal doing something cute ? people watch it on youtube then then at the end of the video they explain they are peaceful people and have set up a kick starter to build a school.. every week on twitter they could show you updates of the school being built and a sheikh standing in the photo giving a thumbs up,

the video could also feature funny ''skits''' like maybe they can listen to katy perry and comment on her lyrics :) try red bull, wear their hat backwards silly things like that.... i'd give a group like that money for sure....

but nah fuck that lets just kill each other....... that's the ''normal'' thing to do, and the ''best'' way to handle it because ''real life aint a fairy tale'' or whatever excuse you wanna make.....

I'm sorry but even with Air support al-Assad is fucked

He has reached the point to offering pardons to deserters and their military strategy has completely abandoned retaking territory and is entirely focused on holding what territory they have left

Most of the wealthy and educated have left with only the stubborn reaming and he has no way to make up for lost troops

Unless a nation is willing to give him trained troops or goes full on terror weapons with Chems its only a matter of time

That is what you and Washington would have us believe. The truth is with Russian air support the Syrian Army will beat back and defeat not only ISIS, but the Washington backed "moderate" rebels and the "radical" rebels of Al Qaida being supplied by Washington's "moderate" rebels!

Syrian Army Plans Anti-ISIL Offensive in Hama With Russian Air Support

21:51 01.10.2015



The Syrian Army plans to crush ISIL terrorists in the Hama province with the support of Russian aviation.


HAMA (Syria), (Sputnik) — The Syrian government forces are planning to conduct a large-scale offensive on positions of Islamic State militants in the Hama province with support of Russian strike aircraft, a Syrian army source said Thursday.

"We will soon launch a large-scale operation against terrorist groups in the south of Hama province," a commander of a tank unit deployed on the outskirts of the city of Hama told RIA Novosti.

"The Russian aircraft will destroy communication facilities, command posts and other enemy infrastructure while the Syrian army will accomplish tasks on land," the source said.

While saying that the game is over is premature, it looks like ISIS is getting its ass kicked by Russia and payback time is swiftly approaching for the myriad crimes and atrocties of "Caliphate."

Washington is in a rage, because its CIA trained "moderate" rebels may also be getting a taste of Russian Air Force missiles. However, their anger stems more from the fact that U.S. Middle East policy is a total failure and Washington's inability to stop ISIS is being shown up by the Russian military's success in that effort.

Game Over: ISIS Shorton Cash, Russian Planes Back Them Into Corner

16:13, 03.10.2015

ISIL is in serious trouble, as terrorists are being squeezed from all sides by airstrikes, meanwhile their economy is coming apart at the seams. Islamic radicals need to take over new territories to improve their budget, but with Russian planes hovering over the Syrian sky, things aren’t that easy anymore.

Tough times have come to the self-proclaimed Islamic Caliphate with the start of Russian airstrikes: areas under ISIL control are shrinking day after day under the pressure from Russian missiles that are backing the terrorists into a corner, Svetlana Kholodnova of RIA Novosti said.

Turns out, ordinary ISIL terrorists are getting significantly poorer as a result of pay cuts. Many of them have started to flee the Caliphate despite the risk of getting their heads chopped off if caught by their former comrades-in-arms.

"Hundreds of fighters are running away from ISIL because of low salaries," Kholodnova said, citing those who managed to defect.

A year ago, ISIL's finances were pretty good. Terrorists made millions of dollars from illegal oil trade, taxing folks in conquered territories, selling ancient artefacts, human trafficking, ransoms and funds from their oil-rich Persian Gulf "sponsors," Kholodnova said.

The question is: where did all the money go? Well, first of all, the Iraqi Army pushed ISIL out of the oil wells in Iraq. Second, the United States used its channels to eradicate middlemen who helped ISIL to sell illegal oil on the black market. Furthermore, with the start of airstrikes the terrorist organization stopped receiving "cash convoys" from their sponsors due to a risk of them being destroyed, the RIA Novosti journalist explained.

In addition to all of this, with more people fleeing the Caliphate, there are fewer people for ISIL to tax. Those who still live in terrorist-controlled territories are struggling to pay their taxes and financial penalties imposed by ISIL, as the Caliphate can't provide a working economy for people to live, preferring to spend most of its budget on buying weapons.

To revive its economy, ISIL needs take over naval ports in Tartus and Lattakia, the two richest cities on the Mediterranean coast. But now, it's too little too late. The two port-cities have bases where Russian bombers land. It will be simply unimaginable for ISIL to take over these two cities right now, Kholodnova said.

There isn't much that ISIL terrorists can do at this point. ISIL is being squeezed from all sides and quickly running out of money. The terrorists can either flee or surrender to the mercy of victors. The first choice seems better to them, especially after all the trouble and hardship they have brought to Syria and Iraq over the past few years. The time for payback is nearing.

Russian SU-34, SU-25, and SU-24 jet bombers continue to hit ISIS targets and destroy the infrastructure of the jihadist murderers of the Islamic Caliphate.

It would appear to me that in four days the Russian Air Force has inflicted more damage on ISIS than the U.S. has during the entire time Washington has been involved in situation.

The day of reckoning is coming really fast. ISIS will pay for its atrocities!

Russian Aviation Hits ISIS Training Center, Munition Depot Near Al-Tabqa

13:06 04.10.2015

Russian aviation launched a strike against an Islamic State training center near the city of al-Tabqa in Syria's Raqqa destroying the center's infrastructure, Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said Sunday.

"Su-34 bombers attacked the ISIL special training camp and munition depot with KAB-500 aviation bombs near Al-Tabqa, Ar-Raqqah province. As a result of explosion of the munition depot, the terrorist training camp was completely destroyed," Konashenkov told reporters.


Russian Su-25 jets have also attacked training camp of the Islamic State in the Syrian Idlib governorate destroying a workshop for explosive belt production.

"Su-25 attackers hit the terrorist training camp in Idlib province. As a result, they destroyed the hideouts and explosive device manufacturing," the spokesman said.


Russian aerospace forces planes have conducted airstrikes on 8 facilities of the Islamic State near the city of Jisr ash-Shugur in Syria's Idlib province destroying 3 ammunition depots.

"Su-24M and Su-34 bombers hit 8 ISIS facilities near Jisr al-Shugur, Idlib province," Konashenkov said. "The pilots engaged 3 munition, POL and armament depots of the illegal armed groups. KAB-500 aviation bombs detonated the munition and armament."


"Using BETAB-500 concrete-piercing bombs, the jets destroyed 4 command posts of the ISIS armed groups. The facilities with terrorists are completely destroyed," the spokesman added. "As a result of the strikes, facilities with terrorists, munition and POL depots have been destroyed, 5 armored vehicles have been disabled."

Russia's aviation conducted 20 flights and carried out 10 airstrikes against facilities of the Islamic State (ISIL) terrorist group in the past 24 hours.

"Twenty flights of Su-34, Su-24m and Su-25 were carried out in the past 24 hours. Airstrikes have been launched on 10 targets of IS armed groups," Konashenkov said.

Apparently today Russian/American Jets came very close today in the skies over Syria. F-16's coming out of Turkey were only 20 nautical miles from Russian jets. Both with intentions to strike ISIS. However, as of right now the United States will back off when things in the skies get too close for comfort. It's no secret that Putin has his military attacking anti-Syrian regimes. Shit is just getting started.

Washington refuses to cooperate and work with Russia to destroy ISIS, because the U.S. goal is to contain ISIS and exploit it to bring down the Assad government of Syria. The Russian goal is to DESTROY ISIS!

After a week of aerial attacks on ISIS the Russian Air Force and Navy have done more damage to them than the U.S. military in a year of fighting which included thousands of aerial sorties and bombings. How is that possible?

U.S. attacks on ISIS occured only in the Western areas when it looked like ISIS was threatening Lebanon or other U.S. interests. Most of these aerial attacks were against the Syrian Army in support of the CIA backed terrorists who were trying to bring down the Assad government.

ISIS was created by U.S. policy in Iraq and is being exploited by Washington to accomplish its singular goal in Syria - REGIME CHANGE! You can argue all you want, but it is absurd to think that thousands of American bombs and missiles let loose in this conflict hardly damaged the ISIS forces and infrastructure.

Either the Russian Air Force has better aim than the USAF, or most of that American hardware was used NOT against ISIS, but against Assad's forces in support of the American backed terrorists, i.e. "moderate rebels."

I tend to believe the later!

Airstrikes can't beat terrorist alone

They just go underground or take over villages

Sooner or latter you need boots on the ground to pull them out of their holes

Assad can't even keep his current border staffed let alone push forward and lacks trained personal to use heavy arms

Syrian Army Storms Positions of Al Nusra, ISIS and “Moderate Terrorists”. Air Cover Provided by Russian War Planes

International Military Review - Syria, Oct 7, 2015

On October 6, the Syrian army and the Lebanese stormed the positions of the militant groups in the nearby areas of Tal-Ahmar and retook full control over this strategic hilltop. Arab sources further added that scores of the militant groups’ members were killed or wounded. However, it’s more likely that militants just retreated from the positions captured only two days ago.

Meantime, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and Hezbollah carried out operation against the strongholds of the militant groups in Ayn al-Nuriyeh area in Quneitra province. A convoy loaded with weapons and ammunitions was destroyed near al-Hamidiyeh in Quneitra. The convoy belonged to the "moderate terrorist" group, Free Syrian Army.

Last night, the SAA conducted operations against positions of al-Nusra Front and its allies in the villages of Jibbata al-Khashab and Tranjeh. Reportedly, the militants’ ammunition depot was destroyed. The clashes were also observed at the village of Tranjeh.

Separately, the SAA’s special forces attacked ISIS positions in Deir Ez-zour, and regained control of several terrorists’ checkpoints in an area of Deir Ez-zour airport. The militants tried to take control of areas in Deir Ezzur province in September, but they lost the momentum and faced the government forces’ counter attack. The Syrian Air Forces conducted airstrikes around the villages of al-Mraeyeh, al-Jafrah and Hatlah targeting ISIS postions. The operation in Deir Ez-zour province has been continuing.

Large groups of soldiers from the SAA, the National Defense Forces (NDF), and other pro-government militias are concentrated in the provinces of Aleppo and Homs. They prepare for massive offensives against Jabhat Al-Nusra and ISIS.

The first wave of reinforcements was sent from the National Defense Forces stronghold of Masyaf in east Tartous to Al-Safira in the east Aleppo. These fighters joined the SAA’s “Cheetah Forces” that have already began an operation to lift the ISIS siege of the Kuweries Military Airport. According to reports, the total number of soldiers deployed at the Deir Hafer Plains is as high as 4,500 military personnel.

In the Homs Governorate’s northern countryside, over 300 additional military personnel arrived to the Hama-Homs axis in order to reinforce the soldiers that are preparing to launch a full-scale operation to capture the Al-Rastan Plains of Homs.

The Russian Air Force is providing the Syrian Arab Army with necessary air cover against the ISIS terrorists that are located inside the Deir Tafer Plains and around the provincial capital of the Aleppo Governorate.

Separately, Russian warplanes have continued raids against militant targets over the country. Yesterday, they destroyed an ISIS command center near the town of As Sukhnah 28 km away from Palmyra. Several pickup trucks and armored vehicles and 40 militants were also destroyed.
