On October 3, Tass said Russian aircraft conducted over 60 sorties so far, bombing 50 ISIS targets, causing consternation in its ranks. National Defence Control Centre Col. General Andrey Kartapolov said, "aircraft have been taking off from the Hmeimim airbase (night and day), targeting the whole of Syria."
"In the past three days we have managed to disrupt the terrorists' infrastructure and to substantially degrade their combat capabilities. Intelligence reports say that militants are leaving the areas under their control."A powerful precision electro-optical TV-guided KAB-500 air bomb was used against an ISIS location near Maarrat al-Numan, destroying its facilities, weapons, ammunition, fuel and equipment.
"A bunker-busting BETAB-500 air bomb dropped from a Sukhoi Su-34 bomber near Raqqa has eliminated the command post of one of the terror groups, together with an underground storage facility for explosives and munitions."
Photographic evidence showed major damage and destruction of ISIS targets struck. Drones maintain round-the-clock surveillance of their activities.
Chosen targets are "promptly engaged, regardless of" atmospheric conditions, Kartapolov explained.
"There is panic and desertion among (ISIS) ranks. Nearly 600 mercenaries have abandoned their positions and are making attempts to get out to Europe."Lebanon-based Arab satellite television Al Mayadeen reported ISIS forces evacuating areas around their stronghold Raqqa location. Unknown numbers pulled out.
After Russia's campaign began, Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said ISIS and other terrorist groups are being targeted. "These organizations are well known and the targets are chosen in coordination with the armed forces of Syria."
US media feature willful Pentagon misinformation and Big Lies, including Air Force General Robert Otto claiming Russia is using "dumb bombs," not laser-guided precision weapons, accusing Moscow irresponsibly of indiscriminate bombing - polar opposite truth.
Claims about Russian air strikes killing civilians are willfully falsified. Targets are carefully chosen to avoid them - unlike how America operates.
Deliberately targeting an Afghan hospital last week, killing and injuring doctors, other medical staff and patients is the latest US atrocity. Calling a willful war crime collateral damage compounds it.
Washington won't cooperate with Russia in a real war on terrorism for obvious reasons. Waging it undermines its objective, using ISIS and other takfiri terrorist to achieve its strategic aims.
US imperialism turns nations to rubble, set parts of the world ablaze, murders millions, creates enemies, spawns elements like ISIS, then used for imperial advantage.
When is enough enough? America is a global scourge, a serial killer, a neocon-infested monster, waging war on humanity, its mortal enemy - the real evil empire, vital to challenge and stop before it kills us all.

Now just suppose they are in some European country having fled from Syria, they are still in the employ of there, what could I call them "Destroyers of the Universe",
They cause a 'False Flag" in Europe, mayhem and destruction, it isn't the mercenaries, they probably are just thankful there skin has been saved to live another day. But of course the "Destroyers of the Universe" have other plans
It's Russia!
Is this what Obama had in mind when he said something like, can't remember the exact words, but I think his intention was that it would rebound.
Even with all the recent comments from the usual suspects and idiots chiming in, makes me wonder. Will this mean even more tighter controls for western countries.
And they like all psychopaths see this as a golden opportunity, I mean the ones that really pull the strings. Ah! what interesting times we are witnessing.
I don't know, I guess time will tell, the mind runs in overdrive with such drama.
