RUSSIAN war planes have struck 10 Islamic State (ISIS) targets in the past 24 hours – including a suicide belt factory.
The country's defence ministry said Russian bombers had also taken out a terrorist training camp during 20 sorties.
"As a result of our air strikes on Islamic State targets, we have managed to disrupt their control system, the terrorist organisation's supply lines, and also caused significant damage to the infrastructure used to prepare acts of terror," the ministry announced.
The spokesperson added that the strikes took place in Idlib and Raqqa, the self-proclaimed Syrian capital of the terror group.
Russian war planes have previously destroyed ammunition stores and command centres during their ferocious assault on ISIS.
Andrei Kartapolov, a senior Russian General, added: "We will not only continue strikes. We will also increase their intensity.
"Over three days we were able to undermine the terrorists' infrastructure and significantly reduce their military potential."
The news come as Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly planning an ambitious mission to take control of the city of Raqqa.

So are Obama and Mccain funding the suicide belt factory in order to overthrow Assad?
What? No Code Pink Russian activists? No Russian Harry Reid screaming “This War is Lost!”
This is how you fight.
I so look forward to the Russians finding and rooting out the terrible sex slave markets and hopefully restoring Yazidi and Christian women to their families
The dude has no choice. The large targets are gone, now they will have to hit many more smaller targets. Then they will need to make Snowden pull up McCain's cell phone records and hit anyone he ever talked to.
Never thought I would say this but, “Go Russia”
Wow, striking Raqqa is going right to the heart of ISIS. This would seem to counter the accusation that they’re only targeting non-ISIS rebels.
Many on this site are experiencing surreal moments in agreeing with a Commie’s actions.
I fear that the Libs are going to steal the election with illegal and refugee votes..plus the dead voters.
I don’t know if we are going to be able to right the ship of the US any time soon.
We may see China Syria Iraq Russia and Iran as the new Super Powers while we go back to the Cold War hiding under the desks during school drills
A better question would be, “Why did Obama create ISIS?”
There can be no quagmire when you simply destroy the heck out of everything and everyone. You get a quagmire when you have limited rules of engagement or when you worry about who you kill.
“Suicide belt testers wanted.
Employment for one day only.”
And when you kowtow and let little boy toys be chained to beds and tortured and penalize your military for trying to do the right thing
I would not be surprised.

Obama: Putin’s not outsmarting me in Syria
He didn’t just allow ISIS to flourish, Obama and Hillary created ISIS.
Yea. Not sure if you know this but I wouldn’t trust the Russians with..... well with anyone’s daughter.
As always, Obama makes the situation all about him.
Looks like Putin never heard of a JV teaming war time.
