The recent arrival of the Russian military advisors has found the Syrian Arab Air Force (SAAF) specifically concentrated on the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham’s (ISIS) positions in the eastern Syrian provinces of Deir Ezzor, Al-Hasakah, Homs, and Al-Raqqa.
On Wednesday morning, the Syrian Air Force launched a series of airstrikes above the Al-Raqqa Governorate that targeted ISIS’ supply route from the aforementioned province to the Deir Ezzor Governorate; this supply route is considered ISIS’ lifeline in both Iraq and Syria due to the long highway that stretches from Al-Raqqa to the Iraqi Al-‘Anbar Governorate.
The specific locations the Syrian Air Force targeted in Al-Raqqa were the Azeri Battalion Camp, Al-Khasna Battalion Camp, New Hisbah Headquarters, ISIS Shari’ah Courts, Al-Takhfeekh Repository, and a large weapons supply depot; these coordinates were all provided by the Russian military advisors, as they shared satellite imagery to reveal ISIS’ locations.
According to a field report from a senior officer in the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), the airstrikes have done significant damage to ISIS’ positions in Al-Raqqa; this includes the death of over 140 members of the terrorist group, including the field commander of the Azeri Battalion, “Abu Dawoud Al-Azerbaijani.”
The primary objective of these airstrikes is to forestall ISIS’ movements along the Syrian and Iraqi border, while also attacking their large convoy of reinforcements to their embattled comrades at a number of battlefields.

7,00+ plus US/"Coalition" airstrikes against ISIS over several months, and these routes are still open, yet the Russians manage to put big pressure on ISIS supply routes IN A DAY?
What the hell are the Obamunists doing? Bombing empty tents?
Russians — doing ugly jobs the present administration seems incapable of doing on its own.
Apparently the US ROE don’t permit hurting the enemy - http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/08/us_refuses_to_bomb_isis_training_camps_turning_out_thousands_of_fighters_a_month.html
The only people Obama likes to brag about killing are American citizens.
This is what can be done when your focus is on something other than identifying and promoting the rump rangers.
Yeah, I would sleep better at night if this administration showed the slightest competence in handling military matters.
US air campaign was TOTAL artifice.
Ivan gets the job done over his coffee break.
ISIS = Vallerie Jarrett toy.
Obama is doing everything he can to protect his Muslim buddies, while at the same time pretending to carry on a serious war against ISIS.
Hey, it’s not easy to be a double-dealing snake. Good thing he has Big Gay Media there to protect his lies and keep fooling the public.
Don’t the US pilots have to have positive id on everyone in the car before they can blast it? If one of the passengers left his passport in the tent, the American pilot needs to take his bombload home.
The Russians can hit all legitimate targets without getting second guessed by the JAG and the political officers in the Pentagon.
GET ‘ER DONE!....................
Well now these people can go back home.
Isn’t it strange that the world looks to Russians to maintain stability in the Mid-East and battle the extremists and protect Christians - and check the policies of a crazed US President who seems to only want to stir trouble?
or the MSM, Greenpeace, PETA, Sierra Club, Code Pink and old hippies.........................
They are just doing the job that a certain community organizing, swish-walking, dictator-hugging, islamist, grifting, and lying American doesn’t want to do. Next thing you know some Russian will want to immigrate to America and take his job.
Well it's about time somebody did.
Helping muslims. Same as they always do.
You can bet it was not Syrian pilots in those aircraft.
0bama is a pin prick.
The US military command is rife with faggotry, miss assigned genderism, and lesbians. This group couldn’t manage a circular firing squad.
