Presenting A First-Hand Look Inside Russia's Forward Operating Base In Syria
When the first reports began to trickle in regarding a possible Russian military buildup at Bashar al-Assad’s seaside stronghold at Latakia, the scramble to “prove” that forces from Moscow had indeed arrived in Syria led directly to a string of conflicting reports and grainy satellite images purporting to detail the scope of Russia’s involvement.
As the weeks went by, and as rumors of a Russian presence were confirmed by The Kremlin, the world became even more fascinated by the idea that Moscow has officially launched an air war in a foreign country. Indeed, Russia’s overt involvement on behalf of the Assad regime marks a change of strategy for Putin, who has been careful to dispel accusations that his forces are directly involved in the fighting in eastern Ukraine.
Now that Russia has officially commenced combat operations, Moscow is wasting no time showing off its new staging ground. For those curious to know what a Russian forward operating base in a Middle Eastern warzone looks like, we present the following clip from RT:

Fuck Russia. You can't touch this

There are now 35 in the middle east.
wow what do they use them for? as terrorist backup?
presumably for delivering AIDS medication to Abu-Bakr-Al-Diarrhea in the caliphate of cockadoodledoo, and running interceptor support for weapons drops to ISIS.
Otherwise they serve only as beat off material for keybpard commandos.
Russian airstrikes have done more in 2 days the coalition of the cock tamers of the West's have done in a year.
Cool video. The Russians are dropping cluster bombs on ISIS - that is what the ground crews were loading on their aircraft in the video.
Forward, (over the cliff)!
What ever happened to the good old days of napalm?
According to propaganda sources, Assad has used napalm on any number of orphanages
That was just to burn up the evidence of his Andromeda strain bio attack.
Good ol white men working on a jet with shorts on. Nothing overly high tech about it. Pretty cool to see.

Q. What ever happened to the good old days of napalm?
A. Colonel Kurtz decided that 5th-generation exothermic/barothermic weaponry would be better deployed in Ukraine (while you were not looking). 'Napalm' is so, well, '1960's' technology, Zippy. I wonder if an 'LRAD'-equipped vehicle can get close enough to disable these weapons (A. NO!).

Introducing the Sukhoi PAK FA ... Exceptionalism is not just for America

Get over it and learn other nations have outstanding capabilities

The problem for the F22 is that it was designed just before the biggest advances in computers, so its computer control systems are a bit obsolete. This supposedly is the big reason it was discontinued and all the effort/money invested in the far superior F35 (joke)
Seriously though, in this case, procrastination in finalizing the computer control system wins the day, so the newer Russian fighter has at least the potential for being quite a bit better.
Looked so promising too, what a shame they cancelled it. :D
Nothing has been cancelled. Get a life...
The T-50 prototype first flew on 29 January 2010 and the first production aircraft is slated for delivery to the Russian Air Force starting in late 2016 or early 2017

Russia is absolutely terrified of the F-22. THey know it gives us total air dominance.
You work for Lockheed-Martin?
I can't tell. But did you see their jets have parachutes. LMFAO.
It aint even close. It's like Ronda Rousey vs Barack Obama, instant kill

In the age of BVR missiles, do aircraft capablities matter much?
If you cant get a lock on then whats the point of bvr niggs.
For half the cost of a Boeing 747, the F-22 seems to be a great fighter if it does not ever have to get in a real dogfight. I think you could do better with an air-conditioned trailer on the ground and a couple of way cheaper purpose-built drones.

Trends in Air-to-Air Combat: Implications for Future Air Superiority - By John Stillion, April 14, 2015.
See the graph called, FIGURE 1 MISSILE-ERA AIR-TO-AIR KILLS, on page 10 of the PDF.
And btw, 'flyfighterjet.com' is a Russian 'fighter enthusiast' site (i.e. pootie-jizbots) so their analysis is will be scrupulously fair, objective, unbiased, even-handed and will not at all focus on total bullshit. :D
I remember hearing the same BS back in the '60s. That's how the much vaunted F-4 Phantom ended up in Vietnam initially with no on-board gun. The rest, as they say, is history...
Are you guys all nuts? Why are there manned fighters at all? The F18 should have been the last manned fighter. Bot controlled drones can beat any manned fighter any day.
What happens to drones fighters when communications are jammed.
Simple.. default to autonomous kill mode.. anything within range..
Party on!
What happens to human pilots when their oxygen fails or they black out at 8 gs? What causes most aircraft accidents? Answer: pilots.
Have you heard the tale of Icarus?
There was this old Greek-time dude, who thought he could revive dead eagle wings by coating them with beeswax. It worked (kind of), and he built a flying suit; but he flew up too high, and the sun melted the wax.
SPLAT!
Did you know that the highest number of injuries and fatalities (non-war-related; extenally caused) happen from people who slip and fall while taking showers? I am currently in the early stages of inventing a 'shower drone' that takes human fallibility 'out-of-the-loop'. A remotely-controlled 'copter dumps a mix of water and soap on the human subject while they lay prone on the bathroom floor (especially helpful for old people who have 'fallen, and can't get up'; and fatties who weigh more than 300 pounds and are too lazy to get up).
DAMN those 'shower-takers', self-piloting the soap and water!
Q. (in all seriousness)
When in an automobile, would you trust a self-driving car with your LIFE?
There is no glory in pushing a button from a bunker.
When communications are jammed, so are the electronics on the fighter jets. The Russians have made great advances in that area.
Thats what the stock market thought. Now gee, how to beat a bunch of headline scanning bots? like candy from a bot. never mind that cool drone the Iranians took over landed and reverse engineered.
are you 14 year old?
14 inches and 12 yo, you interested
Don't worry, you'll get taller one day.
My garden gnome is taller than that.
Lol. Now I know you're either trolling or just an idiot. Minimum runway length and unassisted stopping distance. You can do better.
Hey Wannabe you are an idiot. None of the F 22's have parachutes and you will never be able to comprehend why, so go back and work on your crossword puzzle, Einstein
Enjoy that smugness while it lasts, the empire's days are numbered.
The SO 30sm has 3D thrust vectoring. The Craptor has 2D thrust vectoring. Stealth is all great in a video game. But this is real life. One of those stealth F117's ended up plowing a field in Serbia.
What kinda commander in chief is that glorified crop duster equipped with?
As per your 'Youtube' link, I think that one of the comments I read is SUPERLATIVE. Here's a quote:
"For every hour and half of flight airplane produces critical failure and requires 30h maintenance fix, this sounds like my BMW."
The Russians use drogue parachutes because they haven't yet rigged up arrestor cables on this extremely short, poorly-paved runway in fracking SYRIA (where a Cessna 152 is considered 'state-of-the-art'; equipped with a 'high-power' supercharged Lycoming 4-cylinder engine AS WELL as the newest advancement in TRICYCLE landing gear, as opposed to the older 'tail-dragger' design).
Yeah, you're a wannabe fighter expert/aircraft expert DUMBASS.
Q. WHY doesn't the F-22 'Raptor' come equipped with drogue chutes?
A. Because they don't need them, as they plow into the ground after being shot down. The Pentagram MIC calls this technological breakthrough a 'VERY, VERY short landing' (unlike the incident at Shanksville, PA. back in september 2001, where the airplane was shot down and scattered over two counties, in an 8-mile swath of debris).
City of London people LOVE BMW's. Fucking ignorant and stupid motherfuckers...
I think you should change YOUR avatar to reflect Jane Standley as she stood live reporting on the collapse of the 'Salomon Brothers' building (as it stood in the background). You sound just like her (an ignorant cunt being fed lines from her handlers).
...None of the F 22's have parachutes...
I bet the brakes on an F-22 cost at least 10x as much as the braking parachute on the Sukhoi. Moron...
Both the F-22 and F-35 were not designed for combat. They were designed for a high cost to push taxpayer money into the MIC.
Come combat time they won't keep up with robust aircraft that are actually designed for combat.
Not to mention the fact Russian AA can shoot down f-22s and f-35 like shooting fish in a barrel.
Won't come down to that tho because for all its tough talk the US conmen in charge are a bunch of pussies that were just called on their bluff. Maybe they will send Putin some strongly worded letters.
You are such a fucking dumb ass.
Says the guy who thinks a prblem prone, poorly integrated, and extremely unreliable plane like the F-22 was designed for combat. It's a dud. It's meant for Hollywood not the battlefield.
Just like the F117 that plowed the field in Serbia, the aircraft gunners just have to wait for the bomb bay doors to open. Then they have it.
Its probably even simpler than that. Supposedly, the F117 was detected because it left an EM signature anomaly within a grid of cell phone towers. Signal processing has gone a long way with modern computers as fast and parallel as they are these days...
SHHH!
The '4G' (four gigahertz) grid is ending on November 6, 2015, at 12:06 A.M. (at least, within CONUS).
THAT plane was shot down within the 3-gig network, though.
'Scalar weaponry' and all THAT...
remain calm, may I respectfully suggest that you do so.
So russia is set to be the enforcer of the nwo?
Won't be such a thing.
Safer for elites to have several camps duking it out between each other as they play them all, forever. That is the way it always has been and will be. It is the way of man.
An all powerful governing body has too many dangers and too many uncertainties for those at the top. A dynamic world is in actuality much more predictable and safer for them.
Choice and options mean power. You can have all the riches in the world but they mean nothing without choice.

High achievement in this role gives TOTAL DOMINANCE. With big letters of this words.
He works at hobby lobby.
reallly? Those Russian airstrikes on US-backed terrorist filth doesnt sound like total air dominance to me.
You mean total dominance like that US Aegis cutting edge destroyer in the Black Sea, the "Donald Duck", that the Russian flanker jet totally shut down for 45 minutes? You know, that ship that then docked in Turkey, where the crew got off and submitted their resignations? That kind of dominance?
Oh, you mean the (incredibly unlikely) incident reported by reliable news sources like Voltairenet and Veterans Today?
Jesus, you guys will believe anything if it makes you feel good, won't you?
25 Greens vs 3 Reds? Is everyone drunk tonight?
What a bunch of sheep.
What I liked most about the youtube page with the F22 that you posted was the link to another video titled "Rafale beats F 35 & F 22 in Flight International" :)
Anyone see any terrified Russians?
They were cowering under the mess hall tables with dull rounded nose paper scissors.
Says who? The same pentagram strategists who completely lost the ME? The fact is, the F22 is untested in real head-to-head combat. If the active USAF is so sure of its air superiority why don't they retire some 300 of their F15s and buy some more?
The F22 is done. Discontinued. There is 187 of them. Thats it.
Not really. A couple of them already crashed, killing their pilots in the process. The F-22 is a true Hangar Queen, though not to the extent of the (in)famous B-2. Search F-22 and OBOGS, and see what the cat dragged in...
Also, leaving it when done might pose a problem, at times...

I don't know anything about this stuff but from what I've gleaned from quick google searching, for all I know American jets are better, but the "total air dominance" claim seems to be overstating it - quite a bit.

We're beating ourselves - or, at least, MIC bidding processes are. What a boondoggle
half of your taxes are going to the death machine.
All Russia has to to disable any advanced US aircraft is to destroy the air conditioning and temperature contol of the hangers where the US jets will spend 90% of their time.
Read above dickhead, Russians are not as stupid as you are told. One very smart nation indeed one might even say "Exceptional"
P.S - The Sukhoi PAK FA, is devastating in its group capabilities
Plus this, game over
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/12/04/pentagon-worries-that-r...
just cause it cost 140million? It'll rip with AA or SAMS missile just like any other.. Plus one important factor who has the fastest jet may not be at a terrible advantage but guess what? He gets to say when its over.
United States has bit the Airplane industries money sucking Steath SCAM hook line and sinker. There is no such thing as invisible with todays tech, just hard to see. After the first 2 days of Bagdad strikes its steath is over and everyone adjusts.
Ill take 4 or 5 plain jane Generation 4+++ su27 or su35s any day. same money and with some decent SAM missles (they got-em) in two years Ill have you out of the way.
Heck, I would want you to see me coming with my 160 plane first wave of so called old skool UFOs and force you to dogfight. with a few convicts driving some old unarmed MIG-21s for missle decoys and 1/2 tank of gas,1 bomb,vodka and pin a medal on his bare chest before he leaves. YOUR IN ASIA NOW BITCHEZ lol If yur gunna fight FIGHT.
There is no such thing as a best fighter. Tactics my friend tactics, force the other guy to fight your fight ask any pilot, boxer, the VC or just ask Obama HA..
Existing in-service Russian planes can indeed 'touch' the F-22 Raptor, despite what Sean Hannity & Co. say... Russia hasn't even brought out their top-shelf equipment yet, because a.) They don't need to and b.) They feel no need to show off.
Go look on youtube showing the Houthi tribesmen in Yemen using copies on 1970s Russian anti-tank missiles against Saudi M1 Abrams tanks and M2 Bradleys. They take em out very easily.
Slightly more modern Russian anti-tank missiles take out IDF Merkava tanks too.
In most of the videos I've seen, the RPGs explode but the tanks seem unharmed. Links please.
Those Houthis have got balls, though.
Who is talking about RPGs?
http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/houthi-rebels-destroy-m1-abrams-tanks-w...
The missile system being used in the video appears to be a Tosun anti-tank guided missile (ATGM), which is an indigenously produced Iranian version of the prevalent Russian-built 9M113 Konkurs ATGM.
Cheaper and older variants of the more modern Russian Kornet.
There are lot of other videos.

Not showing your hand = OpSec.
Remain - you're right.
If you don't give a fuck about maneuverability in any dogfight that might happen for the first time in decades - get in the F22.
I'll take the current gen sukhoi pak.
But what do I know, I suppose... I didn't provide you a youtube video.
And aren't they going to stop F22 production and eventually replace it with that flying 55 gallon drum, the F35?
F-22 production was shut down years ago.
Didn't walnuts McCain help ensure that? Now the primary mission of the US military budget can continue unabated. The mission of making private companies rich.
Then the US is worse off than I thought. I guess it's spare parts only.
indeed. myopic you think?

Damn! The G's that must induce.
Well, since it's on youtube, you can be sure Russia knows where every rivet in an F22 is. They've probably already hacked the plans from the DOD contractors and have it all under control. After all, it was the Russians (Kapersky Labs) that discovered the root virus planted in the hard drives by major manufacturers. Russia: First in space, defeated the best that Germany could throw at them in WWII after losing a 1/4 of their geography. I would simply state you should not underestimate the Russians.
AH OH, SOMEONES AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM IS LOOKING A LITTLE FLACCID.
Usa created isis and now russia and china are stepping in to exterminate these total scum vermin.
Obamas making us all look like detroit on a bad day.
GO PUTIN!
US backed Jihad's agree.............F22 is Al quaeda'a airforce! Taxpayers money well spent!
Is it true that the F-22 requires 30 hours of maintenance for every flight hour? Sound more like a MIC milk cow than a real world war machine, if true.
The Sukhoi's are modern fighters, I guess will might find out before too long who is bullshiting. The Russians have said the air campaign will last 3 to 4 months with increasing intensity. The Chinese are looking like they are ready to enter the fray.
The Pentagram must be getting a little concerned...:)
That;s a key point. Particularly if the airfield its at is vulnerable - they won't have time to prep the plane and it will get killed on the ground.
F-22!? Are any F-22s still in the air? Are their still pilots willing to fly them? http://gizmodo.com/373205/f-22-raptor-airframes-falling-apart-due-to-bad...
F-22 - This is an old flying iron, which has no chance against the Russian Su-30, Su-34 and MiG-31.
http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/solution-americas-f-35-nightma...
Is MiG still making newer planes? The MiG 31 is pretty old even though it is big and fast.
It seems like all the new stuff is Sukohi. The Su stuff is pretty amazing too. I also really like the lineson the Su jets.

The 1st Rainbow Division will look fabulous in their new outfits. Ralph Lauren has consulted with our new Army to get them looking ready for action - the Secretary of the Army has given them the go a - head.
In attacking Syria, US has crossed a red line. Instead of bloviating nonsense on whore-media Russia acts decisively in consistence with its strategic needs after long and thorough analysis.
US and its allies will keep on barking but won't engage out of fear to get the shit beaten out of them.

Some incredible stuff going on. Bible prophesy right in front of our eyes. How anyone can't see the truth from the good book by now, I don't know what to say.
the fuck are you talking about
Gog and Magog. Oh you know the biggest war ever to be fought before his return. Just a few small things.
Bullshit. Go back to the Hal Lindsey Fan Club page.
I grew up with that Hal Lindsay shit and his readers have been regurgitating the ANY DAY NOW crap since, what, 1977? Fuck that.
On the other hand, as I get older I have a grudging respect for the L. Ron Hubbard level trolling that Lindsay did of his "faithful." That fucking book was everywhere, from the grocery store checkout line to real bookstores. That cat laughed all the way to the bank and he probably still does if he's still alive. And, he didn't have to develop an E-Meter and run an ongoing high-control scam on the rubes like Scientology has to.
Well, if they've been saying it since 1977 it must really be imminent by now!
The book was written by men long ago, some are trying to choreograph it to reality now.
Will we go along?

You really believe that fucking Buybull bullshit???
Grow a fucking brain.
Assholes like you are dangerous
I'm sure you know so much of the subject to be able to engage in a meaningful debate about it without calling everyone a "fucktard" or using cleverly misspelled words. Just because there a nut jobs who use a book, any book by the way, to control people, advance their agenda, does not make the book in itself untrue. There are as many whack jobs in the military who don't give a rats ass about the bible or Koran as there are religious fanatics.
Something that I've rarely seen anyone pick up from the Bible, religious and non-religious alike, is the tendency of men to want to be God. And more specifically, that this relates to man wanting to add an subtract moral laws as he goes. Some did this claiming to be representing God, many did it in opposition. What we see today is no different.
There are as many men mentioned in the Bible who try to create exceptions for themselves or glorify themselves (often claiming it's a service to God... not!) as there are righteous men mentioned. Whether you want to read this as a spiritual or simply historical matter, this should give you pause.
For the specific question, I will hold to what Jesus said, namely that "the end" is going to take most everyone by surprise.
Ever hear of a self fulfillling prophecy? Its real. If you believe that crap about Armageddon you start subconsciously takiing actions to make it happen
Buybull thumping maggots are the most dangerous fucktards on the planet and you don't want them anywhere NEAR govt of the military.
Well I agree with you that this some "biblical shit" going on right in front of our eyes, you have your prophecies mixed up. This is more reminiscent of Daniel's prophecy about the King of the North and the King of the South engaging in a pushing against each other in the time of the end. To be clear it does not say that either King meets his end due to the other King. Gog of Magog refers to a coalition of nations who launch an attack on gods people, led by the King of the North. These then meet their end at by Gods hand, not due to any earthly forces.
no it isn't - you're fixing your intelligence around your pre-existing myths.
which is largely, frankly, why we have human beings killing each other over absurdities.
of course... I know that a person who has decided to believe in something without evidence, and/or discount all evidence to the contrary ahead of time - has sealed his brains up in a dark box.
I only hope that the millions like you dont kill the rest of us.
Hey Gang! Cool video. USA want Putin to rely on "their" Syrian intel to target enemies. He says no.
So sorry charlie.
The interesting thing here isn't Russia, it's how fast China is siezing opportunity at the same time. Any good geopolitical eye could have seen this coming however, long ago. It takes time, but when the pieces start falling into place, tectonic-level shit can happen fast ---
Particularly interesting as it takes a while to get an aircraft carrier from China to Syria.
propaganda abounds - but the frog foot truly is a sexy beast [I don't think it's as similar to the warthog as some allege but similar idea] - the sort of shit we WOULD have seen from the Army and Air Force has the US actually been serious about fucking up ISIS.
Neat.

Since the beginning of the Russian Armed Forces operation in Syria, everyone’s attention has been captured by the top-of-the-line Sukhoi Su-30SM Flanker-H fighters and the Su-34 Fullback bombers, but the single most effective Russian aircraft deployed to Syria is the Su-25 SM, or as NATO calls it, the ‘Frogfoot.’
http://sputniknews.com/military/20151002/1027935145/russia-syria-fight-a...
The Islamic State terror group cancelled Friday prayers in the Syrian city of Raqqa and emptied mosques there out of fear of further Russian airstrikes, according to activists and city residents.

A new Power Block - Russia and Shiite Muslim nations fighting in Syria.
The scale of this conflict is going to grow. I doubt that Putin can limit this to just a Forward Air Base ... pretty soon Russia will be forced to put some serious boots on the ground.
Maybe that's what the Chinese are for. God knows they have a large enough army and "surplus" of young men.
I suspect the Iranians are more than willing to supply the grunts. Particularly if Russia is willing to supply the supplements and a little Spetznaz support...
I love the shot of the last (and very nice) jet taxiing in at end of video. There was only one munition left on the pods (edit, pylons)... Smart thinking.
Wow, those U.S. sanctions really worked eh?
I know it's Debka but it's a game changer if true
http://www.debka.com/article/24926/Chinese-warplanes-to-join-Russian-air...
This as Obama just finished explaining how Russia is isolated and has a small coalition.
Chinese J-15 fighter bombers will soon join the Russian air campaign over Syria, taking off from the Liaoning-CV-16 aircraft carrier; and, moreover, Iraq has given Moscow the use of the Al Taqaddum Air Base at Habbaniyah, 74 km west of Baghdad - both as a way station for the Russian air corridor to Syria.
Interesting that Iraq is tilting towards Russia, same goes for YPG which will smell the coffee soon.
Your statement is spot on, but given that Debka has less credibility than the Weekly World News, I wouldn't hold my breath.
man, these Su-whatever things are sexy!
For those of you who parlez francais. This site is claiming Russian Sukhoi's and Isreali F15's narrowly avoided a dogfight over Syria.

Israel will fuck up....
Netanyahu really made andass of himself at the UN with his 45second pause and goofy stares. As if anyone in the building (including US Zio ownd whores) really feels sorry for the poor little Jews. The palestinian delegation is probably just as polular with the entire UN delegation, as the Jewish delegation is unpopular.
Remember this? they will have a tie eating contest....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kid379OjuC0
My 8 year old acts more mature than Netanyahu.
Netanyahu's grandstanding will go down as Israel's 45 seconds of hate, straight out of Orwell...
What a gross blunder by Netanyahu. The UN is not the US Congress (which is of course "Israeli Occupied Territory" in the brilliant words of Patrick J. Buchanan).
Israel needs to stay the fuck out.
NO! Let them go for it!
I'd be surprised, for a couple reasons. Wouldn't want to be in the f15. Though - dunno their bells and whistles, I'm sure Israel has developed or stolen from the best. But its still an f15.
That aside, Ivan is not to be fucked with on this one - one wonders if the Jews will grasp this or if they figure Uncle Sugar will come to their rescue.

Israeli aircraft flying for months Syrian airspace and especially Naval Air Station Latakia bridgehead of Russian forces in Syria. Israeli aircraft generally follow a fairly complex flight plan and approach Latakia from the sea
In the night of 1 to 2 October 2015, six Russian Sukhoi SU-30 took off from SM Syrian airbase Hmimim towards Cyprus before intercepting position attack four Israeli F-15 fighters.
Surprised by a situation as unexpected and probably not prepared for a dogfight with one of the best Russian multirole fighter, Israeli pilots have quickly turned back to the south, flying at high speed Lebanon.
The Lebanese army has officially announced to Z 2313 (local time) that four "enemy aircraft" (Israeli) had crossed the Lebanese airspace.
This "incident" between Russian and Israeli warplanes struck stupor command of the Israeli Air Force, which held that a possible air battle between the Israeli F-15 and the Russian Su-30 would have led to the destruction of four Israeli aircraft. Israel has strongly protested to Moscow this incident but the Russians demanded an explanation for the presence of Israeli fighter planes full Syrian airspace. This incident indicates that the protection of Syrian airspace is now under the protection of the Russian air force. Causing gnashing of teeth in Washington.
The incident was ignored by the major news agencies but political and media relay of Israel in the United States, Europe and the Arab world will strengthen efforts to demonize Russian support to the Syrian government.
Zionist cowards only ever target Arab civilians or lightly armed militia....they wont dare fuck with Russian military.
... six chasseurs multirôles russes de type Sukhoi SU-30 SM ont mis en fuite des chasseurs israéliens de type McDonnell Douglas F-15 au large des côtes syriennes.
Or, in King's English, 6 Russian Su-30SM multirole planes have chased away 4 Israeli F-15s in the vecinity of the Syrian coast.
The whole story, if true, is reported with a fine sense of humour... "gnashing of teeth" ? LOL!
Interesting report. It says 4 Israeli F15s were loitering off shore west of Latakia (which apparently was nothing unusual for them before the recent Russian moves) and were surprised by six Russian Su30s - the Israeli jets boogied home at high speed.
Not that far fetched.

Russia bombed Syria for a third day on Friday, mainly hitting areas held by rival insurgent groups rather than the Islamic State fighters it said it was targeting and drawing an increasingly angry response from the West.
The U.S.-led coalition that is waging its own air war against Islamic State called on the Russians to halt strikes on targets other than Islamic State.
"We call on the Russian Federation to immediately cease its attacks on the Syrian opposition and civilians and to focus its efforts on fighting ISIL," said the coalition, which includes the United States, major European powers, Arab states and Turkey.
"We express our deep concern with regard to the Russian military build-up in Syria and especially the attacks by the Russian Air Force on Hama, Homs and Idlib since yesterday which led to civilian casualties and did not target Daesh," it said.
ISIL and Daesh are both acronyms for Islamic State, also known as ISIS, which has set up a caliphate across a swathe of eastern Syria and northern Iraq.
In Syria, the group is one of many fighting against Russia's ally, President Bashar al-Assad. Washington and its Western and regional allies say Russia is using it as a pretext to bomb other groups that oppose Assad. Some of these groups have received training and weapons from Assad's foreign enemies, including the United States.
President Vladimir Putin held frosty talks with France's Francois Hollande in Paris, Putin's first meeting with a Western leader since launching the strikes two days after he gave an address to the United Nations making the case to back Assad.....

So. Putin took a couple of days to effectively deal with the problem, and these guys are bitchin?
Give him 4 months. If he hasn't effectively finished the problem, then bitch. If he is successful, we must amend the constitution and give him 8 years here.
Rothschild bought Rueters sometime in the 1890s.
Rueters has been spewing zionic propaganda ever since.
Actually, they are a damn good news outfit. If you have paid attention you can see (and read) between the lines.
Reuters showed us, between the lines, 9/11 facts?
