Russian planes did more in the fight against ISIL than the aviation of American coalition did in a year.

In a day the Russian army managed to destroy FIVE strongholds of ISIS

Today, the ambassador of Syria in Moscow thanked Russia for the decision to launch operations against ISIL. The coalition, according to the diplomat, achieved no significant results in the fight against terrorists.

The Syrian ambassador also said that Russia is attacking only the radical group "Islamic state". Today the Russian Foreign Ministry pointed out that many countries and media outlets are providing false information about Syria. For example, yesterday it was reported that as a result of the strikes civilians were killed, but it turned out that the information about their death appeared before the Russian planes even took off.

Note that the Russian aviation in one day destroyed five strongholds of the"Islamic State". In the end, Russian aircraft in a day managed to do more against ISIL than American aviation coalition was able to do in a year.

Comment: How is it that Russia is able to do such damage to the Islamic State in one day, while the world's most powerful military force has accomplished so little? It might have something to do with the reports that the US has avoided targeting ISIS positions, has essentially armed the Islamic State, allows it's financing to continue, and uses terrorism as a means of accomplishing it's geopolitical goals. This presents another perspective: ISIS and other terrorist groups are the Unites States' true military force.
