“Bombing accuracy appears iffy from what I have seen although the campaign is clearly effective. Large munitions only have to be close - not perfect - to work on ground troops and the unhardened targets.”
From what am seeing in videos, it seems that when the Russians identify a Headquarters, or a building ground troops are taking fire from, they flatten it, and the two buildings on either side of it, just to sure.
But remember, despite the video propaganda, this isn’t bloodless.
The Syrians are losing vehicles and people (mostly due to US-Made TOWS), and the Iranians have already admitted to the deaths of at least 4 senior field officers.
‘If we don’t destroy these terrorists there, they will come to Russia.’
The Euros have been battling these savages for 1500 years.
When they lost:
Christians and Jews could not bear arms — Muslims could;
Christians and Jews could not ride horses — Muslims could;
Christians and Jews had to get permission to build — Muslims did not;
Christians and Jews had to pay certain taxes which Muslims did not;
Christians could not proselytize — Muslims could;
Christians and Jews had to bow to their Muslim masters when they paid their taxes; and
Christians and Jews had to live under the law set forth in the Koran, not under either their own religious or secular law.
Over the last several years our government has managed to lose tons of military equipment and munitions to the head-slicers, including Abrams tanks, crew-served weapons and fully automatic small arms, that we taxpayers paid for ...
but here at home, Obama—who is not, I repeat, not a (cough) muslim—seems determined to deprive Americans of the semi-auto `poodle-shooters’ that we paid for.
Oh yeah, the first meeting between east and west?
Thermopylae
Go Vlad. Put the hurt on `em.
“The peanut gallery comments all seem to focus on the poor Russian economy and how this endeavor may bankrupt them. No way of knowing how much cash Assad has in reserve, but you can bet your bottom dollar that Russia will be paid, or paid back, and get the expanded base they want”
Strategically, a big Russian base on the Med in Syria creates all kinds of problems, especially with secured supply lines over Iran.
Threats to the Eastern Med, the Suez Canal, encircling Turkey, etc...
All of these possibilities, of course, have to be countered, and you can bet that it won’t be our NATO Allies paying for it.
;)
With numbers like that Obama will soon have his civilian army, just not the one we thought he would build. He can unleash total chaos on a divided US and make it ready for an addition of the Greater Caliphate.
Hey Vlad! The rebel HQ is at 1600 Penn Ave DC!
This is going to ruin Obama’s golf game.
Allah Akbar mother f****s.
Nope. I’m with the House of Rothschild. Soros is with Bilderberg.
But what are they doing about Climate Change?
I strongly approve:
1. Wipe out everything you hit so that there are no survivors to learn from experience.
2. Hit them so often that they do not even have time to learn from the deaths of their fellow terrorists.
There is an airbase near Aleppo they are trying to free up. That would make a sustained campaign in that area easier.
Also wondering how much Iran is kicking in to finance this since we have stupidly lifted sanctions.

The Russian recently increased movements have coincided nicely with Iranian recently increased billions

Good point. Iran is the biggest threat in the region. They have told us what they will do and now that we lifted sanctions they will be able to afford it.
