Russian Air Force Strikes ISIS in Al-Raqqa and East Aleppo: Terrorists Suffer Heavy Casualties
AlMasdar ^ | 10-5-2015 | Leth Fadel

Over the last 48 hours, the Russian Air Force has targeted the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) with relentless airstrikes above the provincial capital of the Al-Raqqa Governorate and the terrorist group’s stronghold inside the Deir Hafer Plains in the Aleppo Governorate’s eastern countryside.

On Sunday morning, the Russian Air Force struck ISIS again with a flurry of airstrikes above the Tabaqa Military Airport and the Tabaqa National Hospital, destroying another weapons depot belonging to the terrorist located inside the storage facility that is situated to the north of the military barracks.

Meanwhile, to the east of the Al-Raqqa Governorate, the Russian Air Force propelled the Syrian Arab Army’s “Cheetah Forces” into the village of ‘Ayn Sabil near the Kuweries Military Airport after repeated airstrikes along the Deir Hafer Highway; specifically, the Thermal Plant that has been turned into an ISIS base.

Fierce firefights are still ongoing between the Syrian Armed Forces and ISIS at the village of ‘Ayn Sabil; this battle has recently intensified with the arrival of the Syrian Arab Army’s Cheetah Forces and the National Defense Forces (NDF) to the Al-Safeera District in east Aleppo.

According to a military source in the Aleppo Governorate, the Russian airstrikes have killed over 75 terrorists in the last 48 hours, as they continue this massive aerial campaign in northern Syria.

The terrorist group has been immobile in northern Syria as of late; this is a direct result of the Russian Air Force’s prevalent airstrikes that are hitting any ISIS convoy making their way across the vast desert highways around the country.

Obama and McCain are not pleased.

No sarcasm. They are not pleased. Obama has complained about Russian action in Syria and McCain wants to provide Stinger missiles to “rebels” so that they may shoot down Russian planes.

Bammy is apparently too muzzie broz oriented to use A-10s for a task they were designed to handle.

The Russians know how to kill and be killed.

They are experts at throwing massive munitions, aircraft and troops at an enemy.

At least the Russians do this with gusto and get the job done.

In the meantime, Ovomit is lecturing the world about morality and climate change...

McCain is either the stupidest person on the planet or he’s just as evil as Obama. But at some point, what does it matter? Obama armed Syrian rebels who used the very same weapons to kill Christians. All the while, McCain claimed that these are the good guys.

McCain is insane. He’s a tragic figure but dangerous as well.

Obama is a moslem supremacist. He has armed MB/IS/AQ, he transports Syrian moslem “refugees” and distributes them throughout the United States without even telling local officials, meanwhile Christians are left to be crucified. He even goes so far as to deport Christians.

McCain is the head of the military industrial complex wing. There is no problem he can’t solve with a good bombing.

“When do the liberals start screaming about collateral damage?”

The usual “DEAD KIDS! DEAD KIDS!!” bs is all over Twitter, from the Soros groups and the Islamists.

But I don’t think the Russians give a damn.

The Russians should care. I hope they will put as much effort into PR (and I suspect this article is part of that) as they do into killing ISIS terrorists, blowing up their equipment and ammo, and in every way blocking Obama's effort to hand the Middle East over to civilization's enemies.
