The Russian military has launched cruise missiles against Islamic State positions in Syria from both the Mediterranean and Caspian seas, one of which killed over 600 terrorists in the Deir Ex-Zor Province, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has said.
âOn November 20, the warships of the Caspian Fleet launched 18 cruise missiles at seven targets in the provinces of Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo. All targets were hit successfully,â he reported to President Vladimir Putin.
Overall, there are 10 warships taking part in the operation, six of which are in the Mediterranean.
Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) have been suffering huge losses as a result of the Russian offensive, Shoigu said, adding that data on the ground shows that the flow of terrorists arriving in Syria has decreased, while more and more militants are fleeing the warzone to head north and south-west.
Over the past four days, Russian air forces have conducted 522 sorties, deploying more than 100 cruise missiles and 1,400 tons of bombs of various types, the minister stated.

I saw the some of the launches earlier.
I was referring to the cruise cam or on-board camera. And maybe additional video from observers near the targets.
what? Civilians could have been working there.. That is why Zero didn’t strike them!!!
What is all this “safe place” crap?
They are in college.
You may have said exactly what you wanted, but I don’t see Trump supporters as people who don’t know anything.
Am I understanding your thought correctly?
Not at all. It is a spectrum of thought that goes from the most informed to the least informed.
He seems to gather trust from the most informed and provide guidance to the least informed.
He speaks on a level that all will understand yet when hit with a specific he knows about it.
His debate skills will get sharp when the time comes.
I can already hear every progressive ISIS apologist saying “This is exactly what ISIS wants.”
Aren't you glad I'm not in charge? Also, remember, I'm not kidding.
“They got 600 in one shot as it was a fundraiser for Hillary.”
LOL
That number, given the low rise buildings and relatively low population density, seemed implausible until your post.
4 meter warhead. Thanks for the graphic!! US was first with cruise missiles? Then the Russians copied us.
That looks more like the work of—ahem—a `black hole’.
Just doing the job Obama won’t do.
Bob has never seen war.
Russia is not going to put up with the failure of Obama.
They cannot afford this rise of Jihad.
Ain’t that the truth.
China wont let them in....russia wont let them in...the rich arab states wont let them in...they wont go to africa..of course.....so...........europe is doomed.
hungry wild dog....vs...fat domesticated dog...ppffft.
You’re MORE THAN WELCOME to flag my post, if you don’t like it. I’ll wait until the admins admonish me for having some fun here.
By the way, you need to learn what sarcasm is.
Barry made the ISIS mess and Vlad is cleaning it up.
Of course there was. There always is...
If sarcasm, then I sincerely apologize. Didn’t spot that. I have simply had enough of some of the things people put on “paper”. Need to read less of this stuff.
Good!
That’s ok, no problem. I saw some of your earlier postings, about deporting all Muslims (or something like that). Even I don’t call for that...nor do I say I would object to that.
