| [AlAhram] Russian bombers launched a third day of air strikes against holy warriors in Syria from an Iranian air base, the Russian defence ministry said on Thursday. The ministry said Tu-22M3 long-range bombers and Su-34 fighter bombers struck Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... targets in the Syrian province of Deir al-Zor. It said the military aircraft had taken off from bases in both Russia and Iran and destroyed six command posts and a large number of fighters and military equipment. All the Russian planes returned to base after the strikes, the defence ministry said. |

| #1 Hope someone is counting sortie/plane rate. How long can they go? Especially if they really are flying back to Russia to re-arm/maintenance. |
