Apparently Russia is not launching such a precision bombing campaign in Syria after all.

They are only dumb bombs if they don't take out the target.
We introduced guided weapons in order to take out small, hard to hit targets, but that soon got morphed into an ROE requirement.
Modern ballistic gravity bombing is very accurate if all you are trying to do is take out a building. Instead of one thousand pound JDAM, the Ruskies drop six thousand pounders. Net result of both is building destroyed.
And although we worry about collateral damage, the Ruskies and Assad will see it as bonus kills.

So the bombings have started, and the finger pointing and trash-talking has begin. The U.S says the Russians are not hitting ISIS targets.
But isn’t it strange that we haven’t heard a THING from ISIS?

I noticed from one video Ivan was dropping cluster bombs. Ivan don’t give a **** about collateral damage.

Russia will go in and carpet-bomb the crap out of the area figuring it’s better to kill 1000 civilians if it gets them 1 ISIS fighter. We’ll see how that goes over with the locals.

Personally, I am waiting to see some TU-95s loaded with 500 pounders do the Russkie version of Arc Light over there.

Maybe Vlad should have checked with 0bama before deciding what bombs to use?

Air Force senior intelligence officer: Russia is using dumb bombs in its Syria airstrikes Much more cost effective; why spend the considerable extra money for smart bombs when a "raghead" is a "raghead"?

They're also employing a lot of dumb bombs in the obama administration.

Seems to me that they are hitting targets.
Perhaps, the use of a few dumb bombs will make it painful enough to stop the fighting.
I like that we can take out a single building in a neighborhood. That’s cool and it saves “innocent” lives.
But, in the world we are fighting, winning hearts and minds comes at the end of a gun. The more damage we can inflict—in the least amount of time will force an end to the dispute.

Bombs Away!!!!
If our _resident was doing it, the ROEs would be so strict that we could not even use the smartest bombs in the arsenal.
