Tu-22M3 bomber
Six Tu-22M3 strategic bombers have flown over the territory of Iran and Iraq and carried out a massive strike on ISIS positions near Syria’s town of al-Bukamal, the Russian Defense Ministry said on November 1.
“Militant outposts, ammunition and weaponry stockpiles were the targets of the strikes. The objective control systems registered hits on all the designated targets,” RT quoted the defense ministry statement.
Su-30SM fighters deployed at the Hmeymim airbase in Latakia provided cover to the Tu-22M3 bombers.
On October 31, Russia’s Veliky Novgorod attack submarine launched a cruise missile strike on ISIS in the same area. The strike destroyed few ISIS fortified command points and a large weapons depot.

Just like Mayadin, the ISIS positions are hammered by cruise missiles, bombers and UCAVs. Let’s hope SAA captures BuKamal just as fast and secures the highway with minimum loss. I’m still nervous about US and it’s proxies.
Maybe drop a few bombs north of the river also :)
Bombers might get shot by the US Chair Force, just like that unfortunate SyAF SU-22. Far better to use Kalibr cruise missiles to hammer down that point. No way for the US Chair Force to interfere, and you can always claim plausible deniability.
‘Did we hit you guys? I guess we’re sorry, we accidentally forgot to carry a zero in the coordinates’.
‘Oops, we did it again? I guess maybe you guys should keep some distance from the river. You know how shoddy our aiming seems to be’.
“and you can always claim plausible deniability”
not if you’ve been reduced in a pile of ash and burnt bones
The Russians? Who’s gonna do it John?
my comment referred to the socalled us chair force, not the russians
My apologies.
np, i expressed badly.
As much as I disagree with John Whitehot’s positions, he has a good point here. Seeing as the US MOD recently informed the world that there were 4000 US troops in Syria, one can CV reasonably assume that’s about 1/5 of the SDF’s total force. There’s no way to strike the SDF without potentially hitting Americans. So until Russia’s actually ready for that fight, things might actually start quieting down, at least in the east.
One bunch of shits at a time.
SAA will do it again and again.
As in the Kurds? No they can’t.
The Russians? Yeah, as if the Americans are going to start WWIII because a Russian missile struck their Kurdish proxy forces.
That’s right.
Yes. For me it is Israel; they are the ones I am just waiting to see what evil they do (if any) and , maybe the Saudis or even both combined..
Saudis are pretty good stuck in the Agression against Yemen, but Yemenis are busting theirs faces on daily basis. N. Korea gave them Tochka missiles and Volcan ones, so they can pretty much target any target in Saudiya. Sauids are bogged down, they’re out of their minds and don’t know what to do, nor did they have had coherent politics toqards Yemen, nor any plans considering waging that War. Cholera didn’t do as expected. Now, slowely, but steadily tides are turned and Yemeni forces capturin vilage after vilage, city after city, county after county, military base after military base. And targeting oil fields, Al Fahd airport, Riyadh, and all you can think about. And if Saudis are loosing, what is pretty much obvious, Israelis got bee stings. Oil on the desert field has been shaken to the top.
Yes, I pity the Yemenis, but hell, what a good job they are doing, especially in the last few weeks. What we see in the Yemen is nothing but genocide …. no aid allowed to get into the Country, the Saudis bombed the ports and smashed the cranes purposely.
The Saudis will implode, they are vermin.
Man, they have so skilled archers, theyve made them selves even a sniper rifle from 30 mm Soviet cannon. And Destroying M1 Abrams, Bradleys and all armour with those ol´ Malyutkas. You gotta have nuts for that. They wanted this shiit, now they got it. They, Pakistanis, Sudaneses, UAE camel cavaliery. Wahhabies kinda helped them a bit, but soon they were retreating. Now theyre looking for guerilla ones from Colombia, etc. But remember, this aint lush jungle this is open rugged, hilly exposed terrain. No, south east Saudi Arabia belongs to Yemen. For this situation with biological warfare, Id took revenge to Riyadh with some Sarin and worse ones.
Yep. Just a quick one; I thought the Pakistanis actually declined to take part, but I could be wrong.
Really? Never heard of that. I know that they’re listed as ones that fight against Yemen. But, if you say so, well I kinda believe you. Maybe they declined involvement officially, but not in real time.
EVEN from the BBC crap – http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-32246547
That Saudi ‘Proposal’ was like, – Hey guys, why don’t you die in stead of us? – ? You gonna looove it!
Yeah, me too.
It would have been easier to rationalize ISIS followers but like they have no brain, you must take the hard option.
So many deads for nothing.
ocheen horoshoe
Very good!! :)
“The strike destroyed few ISIS fortified command points and a large weapons depot” how many ISIS command posts are “many”? or “some”?
What a beautiful jet!
160 also nice:

It’s called White Swan.
36… 500kg bombs over Bukamal!
They really hammered them down this time. And this is becoming daily basis routine. On Tuesday we’ve had Caliber missiles, yesterday real stuff. And so on, as we are expecting…
Syra war has become irrelevant to follow after the obvuious Syria division of its land, which comes from a Russia-USA agreement long time ago.
