A Russian bomber SU-34 attacked a building near the Syrian city of Raqqa where a rebel leaders' meeting was being held as the Russian Defense Ministry's spokesman Igor Konashenkov said. He pointed out that the headquarters were destroyed in result of the attack. According to his words, the intelligence on the meeting's place was provided by representatives of patriotic Syrian opposition forces.
"We maintained a round-the-clock air-reconnaissance for two days in that area. After the rebel leaders' arrival at the place had been confirmed, a Su-34 performed an airstrike at the building. In the result of a direct hit with a guided air-bomb the building and everything inside were destroyed" – said the Defense Ministry's spokesman.
Meanwhile the Russian Air Force has performed more than 120 sorties and attacked more than 420 terrorists' sites for the las two days in Syria as the TASS [news agency] reports.
Moreover, according to his words, an 'OSA' [literally 'Wasp', the NATO reporting name is 'SA-8 Gecko' ] SAM system previously captured by the ISIL's (banned in Russia) terrorists from the Syrian government's army, has been destroyed near Damascus, using the information which had been received from the coordination centre in Baghdad.
Putin kinda grows on you.
Pray America wakes
Sounds like the Russians have better ROE than Obama will give our forces.
Oh, damn! How can the US pretend to continue fighting ISIS (and fooling the American public) when Russia kills them all and ends the war?
Glass. Turn it to glass.
Putin wants to kill Isis and Obama does not!
ISIL? Did Obama write this?
5.56mm
He’s had my admiration since he renamed the street beside the Turkish embassy in Moscow after the dead pilot of the RUAF Fencer the Turks treacherously downed
Looks like Russia’s God is greater.
Just doing the jobs that Americans (named Obama) won’t do.
That's the name they've chosen: "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant"
Very good Q. Just imagine what one of more “Arc Lights” would have done to this HQ filled with rats? Oh wait, Obama says we must not disturb the diatomaceous earth!
Every report you hear on dead terrorists, they’re always the leaders. Apparently they’ve already suicided out the peons.
Why didn't we think of that?
Rooskies: We do not discriminate....WE KILL EVERYBODY WHO EVEN RESEMBLES A MEMBER OF THE RELIGION OF PIECES.
And then....we kill them again.
I still have to pinch myself every time I find myself on the same side as a KGB dude.
:-)
We don’t call them what they wish to be called
We call them Daesh like the brave locals do to show contempt
Imagine if the United States had fought World War II with a mandate to avoid any attack when civilians were likely to be present. Imagine Patton’s charge through Western Europe constrained by granting the SS safe haven whenever it sheltered among civilians.
If you can imagine this reality, then you can also imagine a world without a D-Day, a world where America’s greatest generals are war criminals, and where the mighty machinery of Hitler’s industrial base produces planes, tanks, and guns unmolested. In other words, you can imagine a world where our Army is a glorified police force and our commanders face prosecution for fighting a real war. That describes our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
