Russian Air Force bombs jihadist forces near Turkish military post
2019-05-13
[MOBILE.ALMASDARNEWS] The Russian Air Force unleashed a new round of Arclight airstrikes over the northwestern countryside of the Hama Governorate this evening, targeting the positions of the jihadist and Ottoman Turkish-backed rebels.

According to a military source in Hama city, the Russian Air Force heavily bombarded the holy warriors in the Sheir Magher area, causing a number of kabooms that could be heard across the northwestern countryside of the governorate.

The source said the Russian airstrikes hit the krazed killer positions near the Ottoman Turkish Army’s observation post along the Hama-Idlib axis.

He would add that while the Russian airstrikes were conducted near the Ottoman Turkish observation post, they did not actually hit their military positions.

Tonight’s airstrikes come just hours after the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) almost hit the same Ottoman Turkish military post in the northwestern countryside of the Hama Governorate.

#3  I don't understand. Are the Russians not so good at precision bombing or were they missing on purpose? Don't get me wrong any kind of explosive ordinance going off in Arab countries is a good thing. We need a lot more of it.

#2  If one reads this carefully, it appears that absolutely nothing was hit even after two strikes from land and air.

It was like firing your irons on the ground, to make the mexicans dance and flee.

In the real world it means 'we have these bombs, but for some reason we dare not hit you'.

#1  Maybe I come from a different era, but it sure seems to me that a awful lot of 'bombing' and 'airstrikes' cause a lot less damage than they used to. Perhaps that's journalistic license.
