Russian Cruise Missiles Hit ISIS ; 600 Killed In One Strike by bonechamberlain(m): 12:30am On Nov 21, 2015
Russian cruise missiles hit ISIS
from Mediterranean & Caspian;
600 killed in one strike.


The Russian military has launched cruise missiles against Islamic State positions in Syria from both the Mediterranean and Caspian seas, one of which killed over 600 terrorists in the Deir Ex-Zor Province, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has said. “On November 20, the warships of the Caspian Fleet launched 18 cruise missiles at seven targets in the provinces of Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo. All targets were
hit successfully,” he reported to President Vladimir Putin. Overall, there are 10 warships taking part in the operation, six of which are in the Mediterranean.


islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) have been suffering huge losses as a result of the Russian offensive, Shoigu said, adding that data on the ground
shows that the flow of terrorists arriving in Syria has decreased, while more and more militants are fleeing the warzone to head north and south-west.


Over the past four days, Russian air forces have conducted 522 sorties, deploying more than 100 cruiseissiles and 1,400 tons of bombs of various types, the minister stated. he added that a strike on a target in deir ez-Zor utilizing multiple cruise missiles had killed more than 600 militants.Shoigu stressed that the number of aircraft taking part in the operation has been doubled, and now consists of 69 jets conducting 143 sorties on a daily basis.

The minister pointed out that Russia is focused on destroying the terrorists’ economic base, having targeted 15 oil storage and refinery facilities as well as
525 oil trucks.
“We stopped supplies of 60,000 tons of oil
per day to the black market and terrorists
are losing $1.5 million daily,” Shoigu
said.
Russia has also destroyed 23 jihadists
training camps, 19 plants producing
explosives, 47 ammunition depots, as
well as many other targets, according to
the minister.

in addition, Russia’s air campaign has
provided significant support for Syrian government troops near Aleppo, Idlib, Latakia and Palmyra, he noted. He also added that the Russian military has begun cooperating with its French counterparts, as ordered by President Putin.


The Defense Ministry has published a
video showing Russian servicemen at the Khmeimim airbase in Syria writing
‘For our people’ and ‘For Paris’ on bombs that were later dropped on the terrorists.
“We have a lot of evidence that Russian
airstrikes are effective,” Syrian Brigadier General Ali Maihub told Interfax.
“Russian mass airstrikes did irreparable
damage to international terrorist
organizations in Syria, disrupted their
administration and financing systems and
destroyed their bases and depots,” he
added.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov still maintains that Russia will not engage in a ground operation against the IS in Syria.

“There has been no discussion about a ground operation and there is still no discussion,” Peskov told reporters. Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State john Kerry have discussed in a phone conversation the need for a joint effort to combat Islamic State in Syria, as well
as the necessity of launching talks between Damascus and the Syrian opposition, the Russian Foreign Ministry
said in a statement.
A US official said on Friday that Russia has given the US advance notice before airstrikes at least three times since the attacks in Paris, Reuters reports.

So Hollande was waiting for people to die first in France befor he could deem it fit to coordinate with the Russians regarding terrorism? Well, it is good that the zombies in Europe are waking up to the reality that terrorism is real, and that you cant politicise the war against it and expect the status quo to remain.. Its pathetic that their innocent citizens have to die first. As for Russia, may God continue to aid them in the war against sheer terror. The US on the other hand is increasingly becoming the lone anti-Russian voice regarding Syria, especially now that it appears France has given her the middle finger, while the rest are gradually coming to reality.
It is always a win win for the Russian/Syrian camp ditto IS and it's sponsorers.

. exactly, "zombies" is the name for Europeans.

they supported the u.s in causing refugee problems in Syria because of trying to oust Assad, now they are taking in the refugees, while the same u.s that they joined to fight has rejected any Syrian refugee.

Europeans are just bring foolish they need to wise up. Russia is not and can never be their problem.

Yeah. Until they stop seeing Russia as a foe instead of a partner, they will continue making the same mistake over and over. God help Europe and others that are suffocating under IS terrorism.

RT and propaganda angry

First propaganda:The cruise missile killed 600 terrorist in one strike.

1.)The missile was armed at a locked and immobile target.

2.)The missile passed through well calculated routes within the airspace of countries currently allied to Russia without fear of being shot down.

3.)Russia Today making it sound like Russia killed 600 ISIS fighters using some new abracadabra.Heck,their report claims 18 missiles were launched on seven locations,of the seven locations,one in deir ezor where the 600 were supposedly killed was done using multiple cruise missiles,read the OP again and confirm.

Second Propaganda: Only RT reports that the strikes where from both the Caspian Sea and Mediterranean.Such a lie,cause everyother news outlet reports only from the Caspian Sea,even RT just made mention of the Mediterranean to bolster Russia's image making people believe Russia has throughly taken over the Middle-East.

1.)U.S sixth fleet is in the Mediteranean.The Israeli and Turkey have heavy Naval presence in the Mediteranean as well.The only way Russia would launch armed missiles is if its naval vessels are within the nautical miles of Syria,anything beyond these boundary that flies will be shot down by Israeli subs who have a vast territorial control of that area.

2.)Russia's so so glorified naval base in Tartus is a repair facility,it has not received upgrades for full naval command and control facility.
