Russia Says Conducted 3rd Day of 'Massive' Syria Strikes
2015-11-20
[AnNahar] Russian's military on Thursday blasted targets across Syria with long-range strategic bombers for a third day, the defense ministry said, as Moscow pressed on with its intensified air campaign in the country.

Strategic bombers flying over Russian territory unleashed 12 cruise missiles at 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group targets including warehouses and command posts in the Idlib and Aleppo provinces as they launched their "third massive air strike," the defense ministry said in a statement.

Powerful long-distance Tu-22 bombers also struck six targets including three "major plants" for refining oil in IS strongholds in the Raqa and Deir Ezzor provinces, Moscow said.

Meanwhile jets stationed at Russia's base in government-held territory in Syria hit 138 targets around the country on Thursday, the statement said.

#1  Oh by the way, Coalition, the Russians not only did a WWII style bombing raid on ISIS, they ALSO took to the air with their tactical air assets and flew more missions than you have in a month.

I think the French have flown more missions than the US.
