Syrian army uses new Russian jets to strike Islamic State: monitor

Syrian government forces used newly arrived Russian warplanes to bombard Islamic State insurgents in Aleppo province in northern Syria, a group monitoring the civil war said on Thursday, in an attempt to break a siege on a nearby air base.

Russia is bolstering its ally Damascus against rebels with military aid that U.S. officials say has included fighter jets, helicopter gunships, artillery and ground forces.

The air strikes, which began earlier this week, were accompanied by ground attacks near the Kweiris air base in the east of Aleppo province, where government troops have long been surrounded by Islamist militants, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

I thought it looked suspicious too, the outline of the incoming ordinance was too clear, I have seen “real” footage, and at best, its a blur.

Maybe the new Ukraine govt should not have ISIS terrorists fighting on their side. But then again, Nazis and Jihadis are long time allies...

First of all, your boy KGB Putin's hero, Stalin, who he believes deserves to have statues in his honor, had allied with the Nazis.

2nd, your source for this bit on Ukraine and ISIS (The Intercept) is a Russia propaganda site.

And before that Poland joined Nazi Germany in invading Czechoslovakia. So was Poland a Nazi ally then also?

I don't post many pics of him. In fact, the only one I can think of is this one, with him presiding over Russian troops marching with communist symbology everywhere...

I suspect the Russians are flying the jets with Syrian paint.>/I>

Just as they and the Chinese did in Korea and Vietnam (or as Americans did in China during WWII).

Russian marine brigade 810 is fighting with Hezbollah and Syrian Army personnel in an attempt to retake the Kweires Military Airbase east of Aleppo. This base is apparently manned by ISIS Chechens. This is the first step in retaking the city of and area around Aleppo.

The interesting question is why did Russia bring in SA-300s, MiG 31s and Su-30SMs - all purposed to fight an air battle - against whom?

And with the addition of Chinese naval and air assets - what is going on?

Then the Israelis have a huge gas field just off their coast ...

“”Moscow will reportedly provide Russian troops in Syria with an advanced anti-aircraft missile system as part of its military support for Syrian president Bashar Assad.”

It’s called the S-400 and it will SHOOT DOWN anything that we fly. The Russians took advantage of Western Technology to develop it (i.e., high speed electronics). We were too busy dealing with Sandra Fluke to notice they developed it.

Can’t say I blame them, they have a LOT of expensive hardware to protect there.

And a stepped-up expansionist mission to complete.
