The radical Islamist group Isis (now known as Islamic State) has released a new video threatening Russian President Vladimir Putin that it plans to come to Russia and "free Chechnya".
The video footage, believed to be filmed in the Taqba airbase captured from Syrian government forces in Raqqa, shows an IS fighter in a military jet.
"This message is for you, Vladimir Putin! These are the aircraft you sent to Bashar [Assad], and we're going to send them to you. Remember that!" he said.
"This is Russian technology," said a militant with a Russian voice, according to The Moscow Times.
"We will with the consent of Allah free Chechnya and all of the Caucasus! The Islamic State is here and will stay here, and it will spread with the grace of Allah!" another militant warns.
The militant then addressed Putin, adding: "Your throne has already been shaken, it is under threat and will fall with our arrival [in Russia] ... We're already on our way with the permission of Allah!"

While the terror group has declared war on the United States for its air-strike campaign in northern Iraq, Russia has provoked its ire for supporting and supplying the Assad regime. The militants in the video refer to Assad as a "pig".
Russia's security services believe hundreds of militants from the Caucasus regions have fled to the Middle East to fight with the group.
One of the group's prominent military commanders, Omar al-Shishani, is a Georgian-born ethnic Chechen. With a deep hatred for the Kremlin, he played a role in the 2008 Russia-Georgia War, spying on Russian tanks and relaying their positions back to Georgian artillery.
Some social media users have called Shishani "Tarkhan the Rodent" in reference to his real name, Tarkhan Batirashvili. Shishani itself translates as "the Chechen" in Arabic.
Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov wrote on Instagram the group's warning was a "childish threat".
In the post that showed Kadyrov with a shirt emblazoned with Putin's face, he said the Islamist militants were "saying only what their masters in the West's security services were telling them to say".
"These jerks have nothing to do with Islam. They are the blatant enemies of Muslims all over the world. Naive people decided to threaten Chechnya and all of Russia with two aircraft. They can sit in 2,000 aircraft and still not make it to Russia," he wrote.
"I declare, with all responsibility, that whoever gets it into their heads to threaten Russia and speak the name of President Vladimir Putin will be destroyed as soon as he says it." He added: "We won't even wait for him to sit at the helm of a plane."
Before the release of the video, Russia's Defence Ministry condemned the "horrific crimes" committed by the group and requested that China and Western nations battle to end IS's campaign across the Middle East.
Yep. Kinda like how Gen. Pershing dealt with the Muzzies in the Philippines.
These ISIS dudes are not too bright. Their 20 min of fame could expire rather quickly if someone steps up to wipe them out.
To this day Vlad is considered a hero in Romania because he basically impaled all the criminals.
The Vlad I’m thinking of was a cruel and evil man who did awful things to women and children, too.
Maybe there was another Vlad.
I really really hope that ISIS “invades” any part of Russia. Putin ain’t the girlie man p*@@y Odungo is. Putin ain’t gonna stand around wringing his hands and curling his little fingers just so. He will bomb them into red pulp. Good.

That’s right. and wait till they start messing with the Chinese. Then the fun begins.
The Chinese would send back “private parts”.
Muzzies vs. Vlad? The U.s. was accused of letting the Nazis and Russians ‘carve each other up.’ Took to long for us to invade Normandy.
Beirut, Lebanon 81-83 if not mistaken. The Soviets had a KGB agent turn up missing. The KGB did abduct family members of the perps and did exactly what you said. The KGB agent was released post-haste

I don’t understand your point.
Pleaze!!! Don’t excite me!
In a logical world, by using this tactics US and Russia could eradicate ISIS in no time for good. However, we are not living in a logical world. U.S. still hopes to use Islamofascists to reshape ME and "moderate" Turkey to rule Intermarium.
ISIS is rebadged AQ built in the same plant.
When I read your comment I had an immediate flash of the movie “Salt” with Angelina Jolie and the comment about
“Day X” — with the last big fight taking place in the President’s emergency bunker under the White House, with nuclear missiles about to be unleashed on Tehran and Mecca, a terrorist fiend helpfully explaining that the plan is “to kill nine million people and enrage a billion Muslims”.
Predictive Programming is a conspiracy right? It made me catch my breath.
Maybe Russia will join our efforts to crush ISIS, assuming, of course, that sincere and sustained efforts will be made by the west.
Yeah, Adolf Hitler had a REAL army when he invaded Russia.
How did that work out?
More Talk—A Russian Responce would be more terrible than anything these people can think of. Men, women, children, animals and buildings will all suffer. They will be as a bad memory upon the landscape of the Middle East.
I think the Polish and Estonians would agree with you. Do not allow that Russian Trojan Horse “bearing gifts” through your gates EVER!
Wow the Putin gaylove thread...
The Russians and Islamists like blood and death and body parts, let them have at each other. May they both reap what they have sown in spades.

Wow. So important it had to be said twice and demonstrate you’re not getting any...
Let the fags have at each others throats.
I’ll eat popcorn and watch the fireworks.
Our homo president sure ain’t in it to win it for team USA...

This kidnapping actually took place on September 30, 1985.
