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-Shams (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 Shariah 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.

Yep, 0bama is all about Death to Real Americans.
0dunga’s mask is slipping and the towel on top of his head is showing. 0dunga has only ‘pretend coalition against ISIS’ but we’re not fooled. Russia is proving 0dunga is an enemy insurgent.
The usual Obamaniac bullshit,
Lots of words and no real action.

Wanna win a war? CUT OFF THE ENEMIES SUPPLY LINES: NO Fuel, NO food, No water, NO ability to maintain equipment, NO ammunition, etc.. It’s as simple as that.
Oh, they could manage a circular firing squad all right.
and..., not worry about collateral damage!
Well, our own military appears too busy promoting homosex, hoisting rainbow flags, and devising sensitivity training sessions. It’s apparently up to the Russkies to rid the planet of ISIS crazies and save the world.
Every ‘war game’ (board game) I ever played as a kid I would ALWAYS win by going after supply lines. I think ‘Blitz Kreig’ was one of the games, can’t remember.
"Highway of death" (Kuwait/Iraq highway)
Now that I come to think about it, political officers and legal attaches were probably instrumental in the USSR becoming so entangled in Afghanistan back in the day.
It is more strange than I thought I would ever see. It’s a truth stranger than fiction moment in history. No one could write this as a novel and have anyone find it even remotely plausible.
They are letting ISIS brew like home made wine to keep pressure on Assad. Anyone with a brain knows this.
They got rid of Gaddafi in a month.
Where’s a shuttered Asprin Factory when you need one (to bomb)?.
Wait! Stop!
Obummer wants to “CONTAIN” ISIS, not bury them!
That would have stopped ISIS and ended their recruiting successes.
But no-o-o Obummer couldn't do that.
I am so pissed at anyone who voted for or supported this non-American bastard. And that includes my relatives and in-laws.
Is Putin's Russia now fighting the Current Crusade?
“What the hell are the Obamunists doing? Bombing empty tents?”
Looking for areas which are too quiet and need some civil unrest, war and genocide. Keep close tabs on McCain as a promoter.
We coulda easily been doing that with A10s.
