Colonel of the Speech General Andrei # Kartapolov concerning actions of the Russian air grouping in # Syria. October 3, 2015 "Starting from September 30, the Russian aviation has performed over 60 sorties on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic to engage over 50 # the ISIS infrastructural objects. These are command centres, explosives and ammunition depots, communications, mini-plants aimed for production armament for terrorist attacks, training camps of militants. Th e strikes have been performed 24 a day from hours the # Hmeymim airbase at the full depth of the Syrian territory. It is to be underlined that these efforts resulted in destruction of material and technical basis of terrorists and considerably reduced their combat potential. Intelligence says that militants are leaving controlled areas. Panic and desertion started among them. About 600 mercenaries have left their positions and are trying to flee to Europe. Thus, the Russian air strikes will not only be continued; their intensiveness will be increased.

Doing the job Obama won't do. And establishing Russia as a major force in Mideast politics for decades to come while the US retreats.

Fuel up, load all the bomb racks and missile pods, fly over target of opportunity, drop and launch everything, return to base, repeat.

Like the air raids from England over Germany and back, during WW II, where the first planes returning were meeting the last planes taking off.

Keep ‘em flying.

Amazing what leadership can do when they don’t spend all their time on a golf course.

Putin has Obama’s nose in his hand and tweaks it any time he wants to. Putin is a bully! Could you see the two of them as High School kids? Whaaaa Whaaaaaa, mommy Putin tweaked me again, I’ll show him, I’m telling the teacher, that will stop him. Ok, on the side, Putin is showing Barack, “this is how you get things done the Russian way”. Liberals only expect to throw flowers and expect peace to follow. Don’t bomb ISIS to submission, bomb them to gone. That’s why we have a military, to break and kill things, not to join for a sex change operation. God, do I hate this f’d up administration, get them out of DC. If only Amerika would wake up.

“At the full depth of the Syrian territory”

Translation:

“You Yankees can’t tell us where we can and can’t fly.”

This has to be deeply humiliating to our military who are getting bombing targets from VJ.

The Russians began their buildup with a nuclear sub docking in Syria.

Obama has sent F-22s to the Middle East.

Once again, thanks to the Democrat Party, we sit on the precipice of a nuclear war.

Be sure to thank your Democrat friends and relations.

In contrast, it's been reported that American pilots flying missions against ISIS have been trying to respond to desperate calls for air support on the ground, but their requests are either denied or are just sat on in limbo as pending an authorization that never comes .

At some point 80-90 percent of the flights ended up returning to land with the same ordnance load it took off with.

AS I read earlier the comment:
“They’re using ‘dumb’ bombs!”

I remembered that I had written as a response to actions in that area of the world, that what our military needed to do, was to hit all the inhabited targets in the area of concern, at 0100 in the morning, with napalm, in the spirit of obtaining a Carthaginian peace.

It seems the Russians changed that to good ol’ iron bombs, without the namby=pamby of ‘surgical strikes’.

Other NATO pilots there have complained that they do only 1 mission a day (and that’s all those countries combined). Canadian pilots have grumbled about just sitting around on most days.

It’s pretty damn obvious Obama - who is ultimately in charge of all those forces - doesn’t really want to fight the terrorists.

Russia does.
