The Russian military has launched cruise missiles against Islamic State positions in Syria from both the Mediterranean and Caspian seas, one of which killed over 600 terrorists in the Deir Ex-Zor Province, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has said.
âOn November 20, the warships of the Caspian Fleet launched 18 cruise missiles at seven targets in the provinces of Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo. All targets were hit successfully,â he reported to President Vladimir Putin.
Overall, there are 10 warships taking part in the operation, six of which are in the Mediterranean.
Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) have been suffering huge losses as a result of the Russian offensive, Shoigu said, adding that data on the ground shows that the flow of terrorists arriving in Syria has decreased, while more and more militants are fleeing the warzone to head north and south-west.
Over the past four days, Russian air forces have conducted 522 sorties, deploying more than 100 cruise missiles and 1,400 tons of bombs of various types, the minister stated.

Yeah, Obama will let them gather there like a protective, gay rooster/hen but Putin will go bomb and bomb them in there anyway. Did Putin ask permission to go in the Syria in the first place? Do you think he’s going to listen to Obama on these little safe zones he’s cut out? I doubt it.
i was thinking that as I was typing. You are right
Our Fearless Leader! /s
If they are being warned, I’m sure Putin is wise to it, and will use that knowledge to herd the militants into an ambush somewhere. And that will really infuriate our feckless leader.
Just doing the jobs the Obama administration is unwilling to do.
âone of which killed over 600 terroristsâ
Holy crap!
The Russians consider ALL Muslims to be terrorists. What a bunch of idiots, there had to be at least a few people there that believed in live and let live.
“I donât believe the 600 number. But good for Russia.”
But note that Russia PUTS OUT NUMBERS of suspected dead terrorists. We DO NOT...yet another example of our pussification of combat.
GREAT job Russia on the collateral terrorist hit!! : D
At least someone is cleaning out the nests of rats ... and creating “shovel ready” jobs, too.
“Heâs not a happy camper though; his precious âlegacyâ is down the crapper.”
Not so fast! He can still ban those eeeeeevil guns! /sarcasm
“600 killed in one strike”
That’s nothing.
Chuck Norris threw a grenade and killed 500 ISIS, then the grenade exploded and killed 101 more.
>> Not so fast! He can still ban those eeeeeevil guns!
That, my FRiend, would be Obamapolean’s waterloo.
hahaha, too true. Obama is in a snit to be sure.
Vlad doesn’t recognize sanctuary cities,
In Vlad we trust
>> there had to be at least a few people there that believed in live and let live
GOD will sort ‘em.
Why the heck aren’t *we* fighting the terrorists? Why leave it up to Russia?
Scratching head here...
“...from three to ninety-two...”
“Bet he canât sleep these days unless he takes drugs.”
Like Hitler in his last days. I bet this guy gets loonier and loonier the closer he gets to the Constitutional end of his term limit.
Given the religious issues here, should that say that Obama mooned himself? :)
Cluster munitions over a couple of battalions of Jihadis would easily take out 600.
