Russian Air Force destroys ISIS headquarters in central Syria
[AlMasdar] Friday morning witnessed intense operational efforts by the Russian warplanes, following mobile monitoring operations and a bank of targets for the vehicles and headquarters of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) terrorist organization in central Syria.

A high-level field source told Sputnik Arabic on Friday that Russian reconnaissance planes monitored the headquarters of ISIS in central Syria, in addition to four-wheel drive vehicles that were moving between the axes of Jabal al-Bishri, south of Raqqa, and the Ithriya area of Hama.

The source said: "With the completion of the intelligence data, the intervention began by Russian warplanes with more than 30 Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s, which resulted in the destruction of 5 SUVs and 6 headquarters that the organization used to carry out its military operations."

The source continued that the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has sent more military reinforcements during the past few hours towards the axes of the Badiya al-Sham region as part of the combing operations that it began about two months ago, with the support of the Russian Air Force.

The source pointed out that the attacking ability of the organization’s holy warriors has decreased dramatically during the last period, as a result of cutting the axes of its activity through the focused airstrikes carried out by the Russian warplanes.

Jabal al-Bashri is located in the middle of the Badiya al-Sham desert in central Syria; it is spread across several governorates, including al-Raqqa, Deir Ezzor and Homs.

#3 If you had told me back during the Cold War that one day I'd be cheering for the Russian Aerospace Forces, I'd have said "Step away from the bong, man!" Strange days.
