Russian Armed Forces of the Russian Federation destroyed the headquarters of ISIS militants in Syria
At the same time, the Ministry of Defense says that all the statements about alleged strikes of the Russian Aerospace Forces on residential areas in which a large number of civilians died do not correspond to reality.
All strikes were carried out after conducting aerial reconnaissance. The Russian military checked the data received from the headquarters of the Syrian government army.
From the message press service of the main military department of the Russian Federation:
The headquarters of the terrorist formations and the ammunition depot in the Idlib area, as well as the three-level fortified command post of the militants in the area of the settlement were destroyed. HAMA.
As a result of a direct hit by an aerial bomb, the plant for preparing vehicles for an explosion north of the city of Homs was completely destroyed.
All the strikes of the Russian aviation are coordinated with the leadership of the Syrian army, for which a task force of the Defense Ministry of the Syrian Arab Republic is deployed at the Hmeymim airbase.
In order to exclude the defeat of the civilian population, objects for strikes by Russian aviation are appointed strictly outside settlements and only on the basis of confirmed intelligence data from various sources.
To obtain reliable information about the location of the terrorists and the results of fire destruction, space reconnaissance and unmanned aerial vehicles are being actively used.
A spokesman for the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, confirmed that the Russian pilots receive information about the targets from the Syrian military intelligence, after which they verify the information received. If the information about the presence of militants or their command posts in a particular square is confirmed, then a point air strike follows.
Airstrikes on militants in Syria were supported by the deputy of the National Assembly of France Thierry Mariani, who recently visited the Crimean peninsula with a delegation at the invitation of Russian parliamentarians.
TASS quotes Mariani's statement:
According to Mariani, only a collective operation will help cope with international terrorism and stop the flow of refugees from the Middle East, which will lead to the defeat of terrorist groups.
