It looks like they are launching cruise missiles.....
This is stock footage. . .not the attacks.
I do know a Backfire was shot down during the Georgian war.
I agree, this is stock footage.
Are these guys killing any of the terrorist bastards? Or are they just destroying buildings and tents?

They managed to lift-off without falling apart? Can’t believe that. I call fake or stock footage.
Moreover, Russia wants to maintain it’s MONOPOLY of NATURAL GAS over Europe. It’s brings in A LOT of money to Putin.
Saudi Arabia wants to compete with Russia, but cannot unless they get that gas pipeline in Syria.
Thus, why ISIS (Saudi Arabia’s Proxy Army..Just like the French Foreign Legion to France) is there, funded, trained and Armed.
Let’s recap....
Assad refused to sell or let Saudi Arabia run a gas pipeline through Syria in order to compete with Russia natural gas sales in Europe. Right now Russia has a monopoly of natural gas prices.

Anyway, when Saudi Arabia could not get there way insert Al-Qaeda (Saudi Arabia’s Proxy Army. It’s just like the French Foreign Legion is the Proxy Army for France).
Now the controlled enemy media (aka the mainstream Establishment media) lied, just like they did about the Muslim Brotherhood revolution in Egypt, and said this was the Free Syrian Army or the Rebels against Assad. They enemy media pretended the FSA (Free Syrian Army) was a pro American, pro Freedom loving so called “Arab spring” group, but it was later reveled it was Al-Qaeda who attacked us on September 11th, 2001.
Remember 2 years ago where we almost went to war with Syria over a gas attack that later turned out to be from Al-Qaeda and NOT Assad?

Anyhow, what stopped the attack was U.S. Forces saying they would not be Al-Qaeda’s Air Force. This is after they lost brothers and sisters in Afghanistan and Iraq. Plus after September 11th, 2001 attacks.

Once it was reveled to the public that the so called FSA (Free Syrian Army) was really Al-Qaeda. The public became very anti FSA. Insert ISIS or ISIL as the Administration addresses it.
Ever since then the Administration along Senator McCain and Lindsey Graham have been saying ISIS is just a small group within the Free Syrian Army. However, the military has reveled its upwards of 95% of the entire FSA is ISIS or Al-Qaeda (same group different name) Just Google ISIS Black Battle flag, and then Google Al-Qaeda Black Battle Flag. It’s the same flag. It’s just like have a flag for your favorite football team to keep things simple. Here just scroll down and look at all the photos of the flags they parade around.
and
Nevertheless, the Administration has been saying that Al-Nusra are the good guys in the FSA. I invite you to Google Al-Nusra (see link below). See it’s the same black flag as Al-Qaeda.
We have 58 operational B-52H heavy bombers. I’d like to see what Cruz or Trump would do to ISIS with that force. I don’t think even Russia could keep up with their potential operational tempo. Actually, I don’t think our planners can generate as many targets per day as that many bombers are capable of hitting.
What does Obama do with that force? Nothing. He limits our military to symbolic gestures because countries can not “bomb their way to a peaceful solution” in Syria.
The Tu-22M Backfire was used in Afghanistan and Georgia. This is the first combat use of the Tu-160 Blackjack and Tu-95MS Bear H.
