Russia has begun its military intervention in Syria, deploying an aerial contingent to a permanent Syrian base, in order to launch attacks against ISIS and Islamist rebels; US stays silent.
Russian fighter pilots are expected to begin arriving in Syria in the coming days, and will fly their Russian air force fighter jets and attack helicopters against ISIS and rebel-aligned targets within the failing state.
According to Western diplomats, a Russian expeditionary force has already arrived in Syria and set up camp in an Assad-controlled airbase. The base is said to be in area surrounding Damascus, and will serve, for all intents and purposes, as a Russian forward operating base.
In the coming weeks thousands of Russian military personnel are set to touch down in Syria, including advisors, instructors, logistics personnel, technical personnel, members of the aerial protection division, and the pilots who will operate the aircraft.
Past reports have stated that the Russians were in talks to sell the Syrians a package of MiG-29 fighter jets, and Yak-130 trainer jets (which can also serve as attack aircraft.) The current makeup of the expeditionary force is still unknown, but there is no doubt that Russian pilots flying combat missions in Syrian skies will definitely change the existing dynamics in the Middle East.

DOING THE JOBS that Americans Won’t do?
will Obie from Nairobi now openly support the opposing side??
Well, that will throw a wrench into Obama’s plan to take down Assad under the guise of fighting ISIS
Gads, what a disaster Obama has been for the USA — and the world!
Will be interesting if ISIS cuts off a Russian pilots head, what Putin will do. Any doubts?
the word NUKES comes to mind for some reason
“Well, that will throw a wrench into Obama’s plan to take down Assad under the guise of fighting ISIS”
Yes, it will. POS Obama is throwing a hissy fit.
Yup, Syria coming apart. Another explosion in China. Another Policeman killing by one of Obama’s kids.
What does Obama do? Go to Alaska and rename a mountain.
Brilliant.
End Time Bible Prophecy Ping. Gog/Magog on the loose.
It will be interesting to see if the Russians worry about civilian casualties .
Hey, it’s better than staying at a school and reading books to children... /sarc
I am not all that worried about Russia's influence increasing in the area because there is so much freaking oil available everywhere, the middle east is never going to be the dominate force in the petrochemical arena.
So the choice is the greatly weakened, Iran-supported, secular dictator Assad, supported by the Russians - or some unknown group of Christian-killing, Caliphate entrepreneurs and ISIS, supported to various degrees and for unknown reasons by our “friends” the Saudis, Obama, and John McCain
Sorry, I’m with the Russians on this one as the better of two evils.
No...we gave weapons to the rebels aka ISIS.
Bet he's gonna be p*ssed.
Well if they do as well in Syria as they did in Ukraine then there will be a steady flow of body bags back to Mother Russia.
What a great place for a nuke testing ground!
Al Baghdadi -the founder- of ISIS is right behind McCain, right over McCain’s right shoulder.
I’m frankly surprised he didn’t rename it Mount Mohammed.
amen!!!
Let the Tests Begin////5-4-3-2-
