ISIS isn’t really worth cruise missiles, since they have minimal air-defense capabilities, but they are a great system effectiveness demonstration target. I hope Russia gets their money’s worth from a lot of demonstrations. It’s nice to test your capabilities and blow up something worth blowing up instead of just an instrumented shed in the desert.
The Joshua Landis message is quite interesting. I wonder what his original source is.
The “moscow_ghost” uses verbiage and appears to have some working knowledge of spycraft protocols. I wonder if he’s FSU or GRU...Interesting
It’s amazing what is on twitter.
They should load those cruise missiles with small neutron devices instead of conventional explosives!
I care not a whit what happens to the terrorist scum! :-/
Good for the Russians.
They are using their entire inventory of weapons and getting rid of old ordnance.
AMERICA ON THE OTHER HAND IS BOMBING A LOT OF EMPTY BUILDINGS WITH DRONES - WAY TO GO PRESIDENT OVOMIT!
Russia cares not for civilians or combatants, they never have so they will be far more effective than the Fairy in the White House...
no doubt. I know some of the stuff is from the public news sources but every once in a while you see things you know that is coming directly from the field raw unbiased from someone "in the field" who are revealing things that could land them in hot water but their sense of humanity drives them to do it. Now that's the good stuff...
isn't it funny how being sensitive to other's feelings (PC) is going to get more people killed than any atomic bomb ever did?
Wwwwhattt???
dead mussie salute!
Lol
So he's with an ACC team?
FSS (Federal Security Service) is the correct acronym...lol
Have they changed their name? They used to be the FSB. Have they gotten new jackets?
