ISIS is being struck by heavy military fire. Surprisingly, Russia is taking credit, no doubt motivated by the news that confirmed the terrorist organization was behind last month’s plane bombing.
ISIS has suffered a third day of heavy losses as the Russians continued their bombing blitz against the terror group.
Russian jets flew more than 100 combat sorties on Thursday, following 126 the day before, after President Vladimir Putin ordered the military to escalate their campaign in Syria.
His order came after it was confirmed the Russian plane crash in Egypt that killed all 224 people on board was downed in a terror attack, which ISIS-affiliated groups claimed responsibility for.
Russia’s Colonel General Andrei Kartapolov said a squadron of Tu-22M3 long-range bombers struck six facilities in the provinces of Raqqa and Deir el Zour, hitting ISIS oil refineries, an ammunition depot and a facility manufacturing and repairing mortars.
Meanwhile, Tu-95 strategic bombers launched 12 long-range cruise missiles on targets, including its headquarters in the province of Idlib, fuel depots and a factory making explosives.
When Russia is talking — and taking — a harder stance on ISIS than our own president, you’ve got to wonder how little the Obama administration intends on fighting radical Islamic terror abroad, and at home. For now, though, Russia seems to be leading the fight against the terror organization.
