Moscow (AFP) - Russian TV has taken its gung-ho coverage of air strikes in Syria to another level by airing cheery weather forecasts for its fighter jets bombing Syria.
A female forecaster on the state-owned Rossiya 24 rolling news channel told viewers that Syria's weather in October was "ideal for carrying out operational sorties. '
Standing in front of an image of a bomber and the headline "Flying weather", the forecaster gave a straight-faced analysis of the perfect conditions for bombing.
Light cloud cover "will not make flying more difficult and will not influence the systems for aiming weapons," she told viewers on Saturday.
"Experts note the time for the start of the air operation (in Syria) is chosen very well," the forecaster said, flicking between weather charts and defense ministry footage of strikes.

It’s always good weather for killing jihadists.
Todays weather forecast for Syria: partly sunny with intermittent bomb showers, and a possibility of shrapnel. Possibility of “aluminium overcast” later in the day.

Leftists hate to see bad guys hurt.
No I don’t think we would.
Although I know FReepers will get a great chuckle at Russian media propaganda!
If Russia wants to bomb the sh*t out of ISIS, I’m all for it.
Good band.
And, why not? It seems like the Russian people view this as a just war. Why not get behind it?
