Russian jets have struck a terrorist training camp northeast of Palmyra, destroying 24 vehicles and half a ton of explosive materials while killing up to 200 militants, the Russian military has announced. After confirming intelligence about a camouflaged terrorist camp in the Syrian desert, the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out the airstrike, and destroyed two terrorist structures, “up to to 200 militants, 24 pickups with heavy machine guns, as well as about 500 kg of ammunition and components for creating improvised explosive devices,” Rear Admiral Aleksandr Karpov, deputy head of the Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria [RRCS], told reporters on Monday.

CIA and US Generals saddened...
It will be interesting to see how this administration reacts to the news. We seem to be in bed over there with some questionable characters.
In 2015, Trump talked about our shared interests with Russia on the war on terror and he made a great case for cooperation when possible to eradicate it.
Tragically, the Clinton campaign needed to reduce scrutiny on her felonious email scandal so they manufactured the collusion delusion and our media, congress, and DOJ ran wild with it.
We will never know how damaging it really was.
Hurra
And this is a bad thing because .... ?
Biden is saddened.
These could be CIA rebel assets to help disrupt the Syria government. It does not say ISIS.
If Russia was really woke and enlightened like our leaders, after bombing the hell out of Syria, they would then allow hundreds of thousands of Syrians to settle in Moscow and St. Petersburg, after giving them free Rubles of course.
Putin Bad!
Just keep them away from the Polish Churches.
Nuts, Christopher Stevens died to get those guys in place.
John McCain is deeply saddened in Hell.
Refreshing to see a country has the resolve to address terrorists instead of rewarding them...
Good shootin’, Putin!
Excellent!!!
Heck, if Biden would just ask, the Russians would still allow hundreds of thousands of Syrians to settle in Minneapolis or any other American city.
It's been that way for a long time
Portland too.
I wonder if these “militants” were actually Kurds, fighting for independence from Turkey?
Putin doing the work for Erdogan?
Palmyra is pretty much in the middle of Syria, so unlikely to be Kurds. It was once under control part of the Islamic State, now probably under the theoretical control of the Damascus Government.
