Russian warplanes in Syria destroy U.S.-trained rebels' weapons depots: commander
2015-10-08
Rooters - Russian air strikes have destroyed the main weapons depots of a U.S.-trained rebel group in Syria, their commander said on Wednesday, in an expansion of Russian attacks on insurgents backed by foreign enemies of President Bashar al-Assad.
The US cannot provide air superiority? How a** backwards can the bammer be?
The Liwa Suqour al-Jabal, whose fighters have attended military training organized by the Central Intelligence Agency in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, was also hit last week by Russian raids as Moscow began its air campaign in support of Damascus.
How many MRAPS and Toyotas have died in these attacks ?
New strikes targeted the group's main weapons depots in western Aleppo province and completely destroyed them late on Tuesday, its commander Hassan Haj Ali told Reuters on Wednesday via an Internet messaging service.

Haj Ali said he believed the Russians were targeting his group because it was one of the bigger and stronger factions fighting under the banner of the Free Syrian Army with support from "Arab and foreign countries".
And to punch the bammer in his nose.
"These were considered the principal depots of the Liwa," he told Reuters.

Liwa Suqour al-Jabal operates areas of western and northern Syria where many of Russia's air strikes have been focused and where the Islamic State group - the stated target of the Russian air raids - has no significant presence.

#5  I thought all the US-supplied weapons were already in the hands of ISIS. Or the Iranians.

#3  Naw. If ISIS knew where NATO would attack they would rush more civilians there so as to get the press to put pressure on their own governments to "stop the autocracies".

#2  I wonder. All the NATO sorties against ISIS---were they notifying the intended targets in advance (so "civilians can evacuate"). Can we really put it past them?
