Interesting stats:

s of Nov. 17th:

Over these 48 days, the Russian aviation group has made 2,289 sorties and delivered 4,111 missile strikes on the terrorists’ main infrastructure facilities, munitions depots and manpower locations.

and for the mathematically challenged:

2289/48 = 47.7 sorties per day

4111/48 = 85.6 missile strikes per day

4111/2289 = 1.8 missile strikes per sortie

They are doing this with a minimal-sized airgroup, as well. The Aviation world seems to be especially impressed by how many sorties the SU-34’s appear to be doing on a daily basis, without a major maintenance break.
