Russia says militants in Syria are moving armour close to mosques

Reuters – 1 hour 13 minutes ago.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Russian defence ministry said its planes had struck 12 Islamic State targets in Syria on Tuesday, saying the militants had begun to move their weapons and armoured vehicles into residential areas to try to protect them.

...

"The terrorists are undertaking efforts to move their weapons into the residential areas of cities," the ministry said. "As a rule the militants place armoured vehicles close to mosques knowing very well that we would never target them (mosques)."

...

"We do not rule out that here and in other populated areas the terrorists are deliberately preparing provocations such as blowing up mosques to produce fake photographs and video clips which could be used to accuse the Russian air force."

They’re going to find out that Vlad the Impaler doesn’t give a rat’s ass about bombing mosques, unlike the pussified West.

Apparently ISIS/ISIL/(whatever they’re called this week) doesn’t realize that the Russian military has different rules of engagement.

Just sayin’....ISIS has destroyed historic sites over 2,000 years old. They think they should be able to use their mosques as safe havens?? Uh, no.

Yep. IIRC, Lt. Gen. Mark Clark wrote in his memoirs that the bombing of the abbey at Monte Cassino was a mistake. He thought it gave a propaganda victory, however temporary, to the Axis.

Other military leaders disagreed, stating that the Nazis were using the structure for cover and concealment, and had to be routed even at great cost. Perhaps one day we will once again find leaders, civilian and military, who will not shrink from the actions necessary to defeat a stubborn enemy.
