Russian warplanes disrupt ISIS oil sales channels; destroy 500 terrorist oil trucks in Syria
RT News ^ | 17 Nov 2015

Around 500 fuel tanker vehicles transporting illegal oil from Syria to Iraq for processing have been destroyed by Russia’s Air Forces, the General Staff said.

In recent years, Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and other extremist groups have organized the operations of the so-called ‘pipeline on wheels’ on the territories they control,” Russian General Staff spokesman Colonel General Andrey Kartapolov said.

Hundreds of thousands of tons of fuel have been delivered to Iraq for processing by trucks and the revenue generated from these illegal exports is the one of the terrorists’ main sources of funding, he said.

The spokesman displayed images showing convoys comprised of hundreds of vehicles transporting oil to back his assertion.

“In just the first few days, our aviation has destroyed 500 fuel tanker trucks, which greatly reduced illegal oil export capabilities of the militants and, accordingly, their income from oil smuggling,” Kartapolov stressed.

The spokesman also said that the Russian military has begun developing proposals for joint military action with the French Navy against the terrorists in accordance with an order by President Vladimir Putin.

“This joint work will begin after the arrival of aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle to the Syrian shores,” Kartapolov explained.

Russia has been bombing Islamic State and other terror groups in Syria since September 30 at the official request of country’s president, Bashar Assad.

On Tuesday, Russia’s fleet of 25 long-range bombers joined Su-34, Su-25, and Su-24M warplanes conducting operations in Syria to double the number of airstrikes against the militants.

It doesn’t matter who was buying the oil. Oil is fungible commidity so any supply removed from the market will help raise the price. The only question is who ends up with the money.

Obamasisah wont bomb so that the money will flow.

Don’t forget to include Big Media’s persistent refusal to talk about Obama’s non-War, and the way it helps ISIS ... you can also file that under “for some reason”

I bet they did not drop leaflets warning the drivers.
They instead dropped bomblets.

So, just WHO in Iraq is buying and refining the oil?

Should they not be obliterated?

Nevermind. It's probably a CIA front business.

Meanwhile, the US (non-FOX) Mainstream Media doesn’t DARE to speak one word about it, such is the fear of blowback from the Liberal Fascists.

It is willful blindness.

I posted an anti Russian reporter (pro Obama) from Germany's Bildt who is shocked ISIS trucks were in such mass quantities as he reviewed Russian camera footage of their destruction.

However these targets seem well-chosen & legitimate to me. No idea, why no other airforce hit all those ISIS-money-making facilities before.

Good question, Kraut. Let's ask Obama why don't we?

Good deal, and the US should be meeting them at the Iraq boarder and bombing them...they left Iraq when we bombed and now they are coming back and have a stronghold in both places... between Russia, France and the US we can stop this.

Ha! You are so easy to torque. This is fun!

I need to keep reminding each thread of readers who you are so that you will keep going crazy...anything to distract from Obama’s failed policies.

The saboteur-in-chief, BHO, sure is. That is, seeing to it that Russia humiliates the US and emerges as a major anti-US, anti-NATO superpower. He's bent over backwards appeasing them on missile defense and nukes. And they didn't need to squeeze his arm either. The traitorous SOB did it willingly.

Looks some A-10 warthogs would have done a more through job and a lot cheaper to boot.

Just pinging our resident neocon,

Well thanks for pinging me. I always look forward to being needlessly provoked by a lying, pile of shit, who calls me a Neocon, because he's a farking Low IQ moron who hates me because one time I pointed out to him the obvious truth that Vladimir Putin is no Christian and is no friend to the Western world.

And now that you've pinged me to this thread, for which I thank you very much, how about you go burn in hell, you stupid donkey?

It's unfortunate that you feel the need to lie in order to support your love affair for Vladimir Putin. Sod off.
