Russian jets hit 12 Islamic State targets in the course of nearly 20 combat flights carried out in Syria on Tuesday, the Defense Ministry said. Command centers and training camps were destroyed in the attacks which threw the extremists into panic.
"Su-34, Su-24M and Su-25 have launched air strikes on 12 objects of logistic infrastructure, command posts, training camps and facilities of militants belonging to terrorist groups allied with Islamic State [IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL],” Igor Konashenkov, Russia’s Defense Ministry spokesman said in a statement on Tuesday.
The Russian jets destroyed an Islamic State army munitions plant outside Damascus as well as two command centers in Deir ez-Zor, according to the ministry’s statement. In the Idlib Governorate, a training camp for IS militants was eliminated, while several IS strongholds came under attack where ammunition depots were blown up.

Extremists panicking extremely.
Putin has stuck more fear in them in a few days than Odumbo has in 15 months.
What does Josh Earnest think of this?
I always love how when Russian troops encounter terrorists the terrorists are frequently all killed in a fire fight. If they are captured there is no “club gitmo” for them.

Russian Jets Hit 12 ISIS Targets in Syria, Cause Panic in The White House
One extremely extreme extremist interviewed said that the situation was hugh and series.
I got a chuckle from your comment, but what you said is completely true.
So why do we see so of our mishaps on the inter net and not so many from Russian mishaps?
Do you agree and how do you explain the difference?
The answer may be, there are less Russian mishaps.
Quite a good day!
Funny how that works when you have a leader who WANTS to destroy the enemy instead of cheering for them behind closed doors.
The Russians have decades of experience is combating this kind of enemy from Afghanistan to Chechnya.
Do you really think they rely on any kind of public perception when it comes to military decisions?
KGB Reportedly Gave Arab Terrorists a Taste of Brutality to Free Diplomats
January 07, 1986|From the Guardian
JERUSALEM — The KGB has adopted novel, brutal and apparently effective methods of dealing with terrorists who attack Soviet interests in the Middle East, an Israeli newspaper reported Monday.
The Jerusalem Post said the Soviet secret police last year secured the release of three kidnaped Soviet diplomats in Beirut by castrating a relative of a radical Lebanese Shia Muslim leader, sending him the severed organs and then shooting the relative in the head.
The incident began when four Soviet diplomats were kidnaped last September by Muslim extremists who demanded that Moscow pressure the Syrian government to stop pro-Syrian militiamen from shelling rival Muslim positions in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli.
The militiamen, the Jerusalem paper said, did not cease their attacks, and the body of one of the Soviet diplomats, Arkady Katkov, was found a few days later in a field in Beirut.
The KGB then apparently kidnaped and killed a relative of an unnamed leader of the Shias’ Hezbollah (Party of God) group, a radical, pro-Iranian group that has been suspected of various terrorist activities against Western targets in Lebanon.
Parts of the man’s body, the paper said, were then sent to the Hezbollah leader with a warning that he would lose other relatives in a similar fashion if the three remaining Soviet diplomats were not immediately released. They were quickly freed.
The newspaper quoted “observers in Jerusalem” as saying: “This is the way the Soviets operate. They do things—they don’t talk. And this is the language Hezbollah understands.”
...and that’s just the panic inside the Beltway by the chickenhawks, State Dept, CIA, and White House!
Sounds strangely similar to an Obama economy report.
Russia does care about civilian casualties. It has to because it is fighting an information war with the West as well as a shooting war with terrorists.
“’Islamic State (formerly ISIS/ISIL) forces are sheltering in mosques and trying to hide their vehicles around them,’ Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov told reporters Tuesday, citing video evidence.
“Knowing our careful, respectful attitude to mosques they understand that we would never - under any circumstances – carry out airstrikes against civilian facilities,” he said, following a meeting with Defense press attachés from several countries, with a US representative among them.

Russians are doing the job that King 0bama refuses to do. I refuse to take sides with ISIS savages no matter how much contempt I might have for Vlad.
Yes. This is from 1986! See my reply to “wmfights.”
I bet ISIS is dratting the luck that the Russian head of state isn’t Muslim, unlike that of some other superpowers...
...we would never - under any circumstances – carry out airstrikes against civilian facilities,”...
Except, when we do...
At least the savage moslems know they can’t be bombed back into the stone age.
