Caught On Tape: Dramatic Footage Of Russia's First Airstrikes In Syria

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As we reported earlier this morning, at the “request” (whatever that means in the context of Russian politics) of Vladimir Putin, Russian lawmakers have approved airstrikes in Syria and unlike the rather deliberate pace of Washington’s efforts to rout ISIS, Moscow doesn’t appear to be wasting any time.

As CNN reports, Russia has conducted its first strikes near Homs after effectively warning the US to stay out of the sky. 

Russia has conducted its first airstrike in Syria, near the city of Homs, a senior U.S. official told CNN on Wednesday .

 

The Russians told the United States that it should not fly U.S. warplanes in Syria, but gave no geographical information about where Russia planned to strike. The senior official said U.S. missions are continuing as normal.

Yes, the “US missions are continuing as normal”, which means no one is doing much of anything and some CIA-trained proxy fighters are being pick-up-truck-jacked somewhere by al-Qaeda. 

In any event, here are the visuals which purport to show Russia’s first strikes on anti-regime targets:

And a few still shots:

*  *  *

As a side note, Homs is not generally identified as being an ISIS stronghold, although the group did reportedly seize Al-Qaryatain in August:

And the Pentagon is already out trying to stir up the controversy (again via CNN):

But a senior U.S. administration official told CNN's Elise Labott the Russian airstrike near the city of Homs "has no strategic purpose" in terms of combating ISIS, which "shows they are not there to go after ISIL." ISIL is another acronym for ISIS.

WTF is WRONG with America?

 

 There´s nothing wrong with America. Especially with the 450 Million Americans living south of Rio Grande.

Because they dont want anything more to do with the gringos north of them. Tough education.

But they are insulted by calling the US the name America.

So, I fix it for you: WTF is wrong with the USA?

Since no one bothered to use google translate, description of the video says:
"Raids are the deadliest of all Russian aviation paneling from the city and the city of Rastan and the town of Zafarana causing the fall of dozens of dead and wounded"
The city of Ar Rastan is about 10 miles to the north of Homs, and the map shown in the image titled "Battle for Syria" clearly shows a yellow spot to the north of Homs indicating the area is under rebel control. Anyways, I'm highly skeptical of this video as it shows the aftermath of some attack, not the attack itself, which proves nothing.
OTOH, if the area depicted in the video was under rebel control, and I don't see anyone in uniform running around, then it means the video was uploaded by someone from the rebel side or someone sympathizing with them, which means it may well be pure propaganda. The uploader's channel is somehow unconvincing.

In response to the dramatic Russian escalation in Syria via the launching of Russian air strikes, O'Bomba has decided to launch a new campaign of in-theatre targeted nair strikes....

 

He's summoned all military commanders to meet with him, Kerry and Carter in a central tent where they will form a circle and paint each others' legs with nair, then wipe each other clean...

 

Here's the formal statement out of the White House:

 

"We are confident that the Russians will take note of our resolve and will immediately follow our leading from behind...."

 

"In the event that the Russians foolishly ignore our resolve, then we are prepared to escalate further by targeting the pubic regions...."

There is absolutely no doubt about how this will spinned by the Western MSM. Notice how many good quality satellite images of Russian actvity in Syria have been forthcoming recently (where are the images of USSA work, huh?) and the Russians barely finished with their airstrikes today as we already hear very "prompt and reliable" reports on children being killed in those airstrikes... When USSA launch airstrikes all we hear is that they killed 100+ terrists with no civilian casualties and no sources are available... they will also speak about "illegal" Russian actions in fighting terror whereas the fact is that these Russian actions are very much legal since they have received official request from the legitimate Syrian government unlike the case with USSA and France recently...

To Occam's Razor this thing a bit:

The best way to defeat 'ISIS' {or the ISISes} is for the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the usual gang of idiots to stop providing them with weapons, logistical support, etc.

And we might also hasten to add - many or most of the "moderates" are anything but. The rebels have been mainly foreign for well over 2 years.

The minority that are actually Syrian and at all moderate and reasonable, by now, could not be continuing the fight to destroy Assad's secular state which will be replaced by a complex web of terrorism and guerrilla war between various factions.

Which was always the outcome when Syria was flooded with weapons and foreign mercs.

You can't run a pipeline through that.

Which, one supposes, might really help investment in ISRAEL'S Leviathan find {and whatever they steal from Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza/Palestine.

[16:45] reader comment: Just a suspicious container in Munich spotted: I have just discovered a very suspicious containers before made available recently for refugees Munich Gymnasium. What strikes me as totally suspicious of the whole, is the fact that this container is a container of the Bundeswehr has been repainted. I know that's because I have served and those Container know. In addition, these containers are much more stable and designed differently than conventional containers. A point which makes me even more suspicious is that in this sports hall almost exclusively male refugees are housed, acting extremely aggressively. I think it's soon going. !!! If not even today Even a parked truck with trailer has been reported. There were even photos.

"As a side note, Homs is not generally identified as being an ISIS stronghold" NO SHIT.

Let's face it: ISIS is a bogeyman for EVERYONE. Putin's first effort is to prop up Assad, and that means securing the crossroads at Homs, and the area around Damascus. ISIS is nowhere to be found, but conveniently there are US backed rebels in control. They have to go. ISIS will be the very last bunch to go, since they are the reason for everyone's intervention.

How fear of blowback will stop Russia attacking ISIS.

"In sum, the Kremlin’s recent direct involvement in the Syrian crisis – on a bilateral, and so
far limited, basis – should not be taken as a sign that Russia has at last changed its mind and
decided to combat ISIS directly. Nor should it overshadow the fundamental differences between
Russian and Western attitudes regarding ISIS and the best way to deal with it. Indeed, Russian
policy regarding ISIS remains hesitant and at times controversial, despite both the potential
gains of more comprehensive involvement and the threat posed by the group to the country’s
domestic stability."

Strategic posturing to put Russia back on the diplomatic map.

“Going After” the Islamic State. Guess Who is Behind the Caliphate Project? Tags: 

Author’s note and Update

The following article was first published in September 2014 at the outset of the air campaign “against the ISIS”. In recent developments Russia has officially joined the campaign against the Islamic State (ISIS). What are the implications?

Amply documented but rarely mentioned in news reports, the ISIS is a creation of US intelligence, recruited, trained and financed by the US and its allies including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Israel and Jordan.

What this means is that the ISIS terrorists are the foot soldiers of the Western alliance. While America claims to be targeting the ISIS, in reality it is protecting the ISIS. The air campaign is intent upon destroying Syria and Iraq rather than “going after the terrorists”.

But now Russia is involved in the campaign against the ISIS in coordination with the Syrian and Iraqi governments.

All I can think about, upon reading this, is the old "Pogo" cartoon", where the statement is made:

"I have seen the enemy, and he...is US!!!"

Russia is on the map no matter who likes it or not.

The fact that Russia and China are enjoying closer economic and security ties is causing distress who envision an Anglo-American led Empire with vassal States subject to the will of the Stateless ruling elites. Only through devolution of competitor states can the evolution of total control begin.

The petro-dollar was a nice gig but it's falling apart along with all fiat currencies so the next phase will be to control the flow of energy. It doesn't matter who "owns" it but it does matter who controls the flow.

The Battle for Europe has begun. If you keep their lights on, their hearts and minds will follow.

The Sryian Army will take on the invader terrorist war criminals face to face, all Russia needs to do is create a No-fly zone and help them out with war materials - the Sryian Army is highly motivated. This will turn the tide and send the terrorist retreating into the countries that have finianced, trained, and armed them.  The US, EU, and Israel will get theirs in time.

Get your oil investments lined up, this will upend Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey. These low oil prices are not going to last.

The strategy to humiliate Russia is so easy, but our leaders are far too stupid to realize it.  Drive ISIS out of Iraq across the border into Syria so the Russians have 2-3 times as many ISIS fighters to deal with in Syria.  Of course, the opposite will happen.  The Russians will drive ISIS out of Syria and right into Iraq.

Please keep in mind the following important facts. The government of Syria has ASKED Russia to come help them against ISIS and Al Qaeda. The government of Syria has NOT asked the United States to come in under the excuse of fighting ISIS and Al Qaeda and bomb Syria to rubble. As long as you remember that, you know who the goods guys and bad guys really are!

Let me say this again.

Russia will intelligently use native resources to fight and win their military objectives.  He has a highly dedicated and focused assortment of Syrians, Iranians (Quds, Hezbollah), and Iraqi's to utilize.  They will be the boots on the ground.  They speak the language, share the religion, and will be very good at gathering accurate intelligence.

This is Russia's "coalition of the willing" to destroy the Jihadist.  Take that, America, and take notes on how it is done.

Any group identified as anti-Assad is fair game, and they have had a lot of time to prepare for this offensive.

of course - and NOW we will start hearing about all the civilians murdered by Russian bombs in precisely we don't hear about the civilians, and SAA forces murdered by the US et al.

The US and Israel have repeatedly hit Syrian government assets.

Russia is going to carve out a no-flight no access are before long, with the support of the legal government of Syria. China will support.

The US and Israel will test Ivan's resolve at their peril - not because Russia wants a fight or can achieve easy dominance of sky or sea...but because Russia knows that the war in Syria and Ukraine are part of a NWO AND Jewish plot that ends with Russia being "regime changed" Balkanized, flooded with immigrants, and financially raped, again, by Jewish oligarchs.

I predicted {and I wasn't alone} that China would get involved.... I'm going to go ahead and make another prediction - they are going to send more than a couple naval assets, shore to ship missile systems, and fighter bombers.

Just look at the world - it is on fire because of US foreign policy, which, in turn, is largely because the us government works for the banks, war machine corps, and Transnational Organized Zionism.
