Russian Aerospace Forces in Syria attacked 40 on militants a day. Video and commentary on the visual contact of the Russian Su-30CM pilots and the American fighter
From the message press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation:
In the area of the city of Aleppo, Su-24M bombers inflicted pinpoint strikes against targets on which militants assembled explosive devices and installed them on suicide bombers' cars. These cars were planned to be used to carry out terrorist acts in Syrian cities and towns, as well as during the attack on the positions of the government army.
In the area of the Hraytan settlement, the Su-25CM attack aircraft hit the ammunition depot and the fuel depot of ISIS terrorists. Exact blows of high-explosive aerial bombs objects completely destroyed.
In the province of Idlib, Su-25CM attack aircraft hit a center of training terrorists in mountainous areas. Means of objective control marked detonation of ammunition stored at the facility. Object destroyed.
In 13 kilometers from Aleppo, repair shops were subjected to air strikes, where work was carried out to restore armored vehicles and install mortars, large-caliber machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns ZNU-23 on high-traffic vehicles.
As a result of the air strike inflicted by the Su-34 bomber, the base at which the terrorists were trained in the mine and explosive case was destroyed.
Su-34 took part in strikes and one of the militant command posts in the Aleppo area:

At the same time, the Ministry of Defense comments on the concerns voiced by Washington about the actions of the Russian Federation in Syria, as well as about the “visual contacts” between pilots of the Russian Aerospace Forces and the US Air Force.
The official representative of the main defense department of the country notes:
Firstly, Russian combat aircraft are in Syrian airspace on legal grounds at the request of the official authorities of the Syrian Arab Republic.
Moreover, all flights of our aircraft are coordinated with the relevant authorities of this country.
Secondly, with regard to Saturday's visual contact between ours and the American plane.
Indeed, on October 10, a group of our planes under the cover of the Su-30CM fighter jet was carrying out a combat mission to destroy one of the targets of the ISIL terrorist group in Aleppo province.
When nominated to the area, the radiation warning system with which all of our aircraft are equipped recorded radiation from an unknown flying object.
Our fighter turned and flew at a distance of about two or three kilometers, not to scare someone, but to identify the object and its affiliation. After that, the Russian Su-30CM returned to the battle group to complete the task.
I should also note that this is not the first such case. Our pilots quite often visually fix in the airspace over Syria not only the flights of US aircraft, but also unmanned aerial vehicles, including drone UAVs.
I want to emphasize that last night we promptly sent our regular proposals to our colleagues at the Pentagon to eliminate possible incidents in Syrian airspace.
Discussion of these proposals with the Americans is planned today in a videoconference.
