The Russian Air Force has carried out 81 sorties hitting 263 Islamic State (IS) targets in two days in Syria, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
Russian jets hit targets that mostly belong to Islamic State and other militants in such provinces as Aleppo, Damascus, Deir ez-Zor, Idlib, Latakia, Raqqa, Hama and Homs, Igor Konashenkov, a Defense Ministry spokesman, said Thursday. After their combat missions all the jets returned to the Russian Khmeimim airbase in Latakia, he said. . . .
Su-25 fighters also targeted a warehouse storing anti-tank missile systems belonging to the Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front in Idlib province, northwest Syria.
“According to data obtained via the joint information center in Baghdad, several days ago a consignment of anti-tank missile systems was delivered to one of the warehouses located in the area of Maarat al-Numan city in Idlib province,†Konashenkov said, adding that the weapons were intended to be used against the advancing forces of the Syrian army.
“After the information had been confirmed via several channels, a pair of SU-25 jets carried out strikes hitting the target and destroying the warehouse together with its contents.â€

“a warehouse storing anti-tank missile systems”
That 0bama gave them.
is he going to use the US military to protect jihadis?
i think he will.
I think he has.
I expect the pilots don’t actually have 263 targets, but that all 263 sorties are instructed to find a target or unload their ordnance over a terrorist infested town.
Works for me.
Russians don’t care where your hiding your weapons. Mosque. School. Whatever. Blow that sucker up.
Then it’s time for a military coup and lots of hanging and firing squads.
Either our military totally sucks or Barry sure lied a lot about how hard terrorists are to find.
I don’t think our military sucks.
Git some, Ivan!
Better they go to waste than to be used to slaughter Christians and other minorities.
Take it to’em, Putin!
