Russia estimates its air strike campaign in Syria could last three to four months, the head of the foreign affairs committee at the State Duma, Russia's parliament, said on Friday.

This will be an expensive proposition for the Russians. They will be going through a lot of military hardware.
Not very PC of Putin, is it.
Nothing like giving the enemy your time line.
Dont know if there will be an enemy in three or four months.
these sorties are serious. and collateral damage does not matter to them.
wow. still cant believe it
If, within that time, your intention is to pound the enemy into a fine powder, it doesn't make much difference.
Bombing the enemy rarely works out as well as hoped.
I could do it in 3 days given the right bombs.
“They pretended... Only 20 percent of their (U.S. led coalition) operations produced results, 80 percent of them did not lead to bombardments, they returned to base for different reasons,” Pushkov said.”
See how simple the truth is minus the ridiculous propaganda spewed daily by the Obola administration.
