Activists: Syrian warplanes carry out wave of airstrikes on IS-held city of Raqqa

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian warplanes carried out a wave of airstrikes in the Islamic State-held city of Raqqa, activists said, in rare attacks that coincided with a visit by a U.N. envoy to Damascus on Thursday.

“Syrian army starts using new weapons from Russia”

If history is any guide — those are NOT really Syrians flying those planes.

Holy Sh’ite!

"The weapons are highly effective and very accurate, and hit targets precisely,"

But do they work as good as barrel bombs?

Go Vlad. The more Obama buddies you destroy, the better.

The martyr the merrier!

I hope Russia exterminates every last one of them, and I hope whatever Americans we have secretly working with ISIS get the flock outs Dodge.

Yes, there will probably be some collateral damage to the CIA and military folks helping the terrorists, but there is a cost to backing the bad guys - or there should be.

Yea, I don't think Syrians are geniuses. These are Russians flying Syrian warplanes/manned weapons.

Arab high tech = barrel bombs pushed out of chopers.

If/when the Russians win, Russia will be the new world superpower. The US will be second place, which will be taken by China, leaving the US in third place.

So true.

These animals need dictators to keep them in line. They are not able to govern themselves.

Pray America is waking

Russians just doing the job Kenyans refuse to do.

Pictures of the after math. Looks like a nuke.

I meant looks like a nuke went off (not that a real one did).

Last night didn’t Trump say “Let Syria and ISIS fight it out, then we’ll clean it up?” Sounds pretty good to me.

ISIS holding up pictures of dead babies after bombings. That old gag never gets old.

Assad was on the ropes until they came up with barrel bombs. Managed to hold things to a stalemate until he could get some help.

[LS]

Maybe, but consider this: It’s Russians dying, and ISIS dying. I fail to see the problem.

Obama must be smoking hot over this...

It looks like Putin hit the reset button. Obola better put some ice on it.
