Russian aircraft destroyed a bridge across the Euphrates, cutting off IS supply lines

48
Colonel General Andrei Kartapolov, head of the operational department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, said that on Thursday the planes aviation groups in Syria struck a bridge over the Syrian Euphrates River, blocking the supply of parts of ISIS terrorists from Iraq.



“The key object of the logistics chain was the bridge across the Euphrates River in the Deir Ez-Zor area. Today, Russian pilots on the object were hit with a pinpoint, as a result of which the bridge became unsuitable for further use by terrorists for their own purposes, ”Kartapolov quotes RIA journalists at a briefing "News".

According to him, this route is the delivery of ammunition, weapons and materiel by ISIS groups from Iraq was discovered using drones.

“I want to emphasize that the blow was dealt precisely in the area which, according to our American partners, is under the complete control of the IS formations,” Cartapolov stressed.

According to the head of the main department, with the help of this strike, Syrian units that have been surrounded for more than a year in the Deir-Ez-Zor area launched an offensive and were able to repel one of the strongholds of the militants.

In addition, according to Colonel-General Andrei Kartapolov, Syrian government forces managed to liberate Mahat’s large railway junction in the central part of the country.

"The units of the government forces drove the militants out of the large Mahat railway junction, freed Sneisel and reached the outskirts of Sem Ali," he quotes during a press conference.

Government soldiers were able to capture and hold the southern outskirts of Tayr-Ma'al, blocking troops in Dar-El-Kebir and continue to identify and destroy enemy firing points.

        All is not necessary. After the capture of the crossing, it is then restored. For yourself.
        And the restoration of such a large bridge with the possibility of bombing is a heroic thing. Mujahideen did not subscribe to this. Yes, and heavy construction equipment must be customized. Mount large structures. Such work is difficult to hide from drones. Moreover, enough attention will be paid to this key object.
        Rather, during the retreat, ISIS will undermine the remnants. There was nothing to restore. Only build from scratch

    By the way, the photograph shows the Su-24 in equipment quite unusual for this aircraft. NURs are suspended for solving assault missions, but he is still a bomber. Back in the 70s, in the 63rd BAP (in which the military and state tests of this aircraft actually took place) this was very rarely equipped in this way.

    There is one question. Our people have repeatedly said that they bomb targets only outside populated areas. The video shows all the targets within the settlements. Maybe this was specially mounted by the militants for their (known) purposes? Moreover, there is no translation. Maybe it says how these bloodthirsty Russians bomb our schools and hospitals? And about Alla and the bar in "horror" to shout is appropriate.

      With all due respect to our pilots, without ground troops - this is not a full distribution of pendals to the bearded. It would also be nice to blow them well on the ground, after such a good rain from above, so that they would start to drape, dropping feces along the road.
      Looks like the Syrian army does not have the opportunity to increase pressure to such an extent. After all, the most important thing after applying air strikes is not to allow the enemy to regroup or create new strong points.
