The official representative of the Ministry of Defense, Major General Igor Konashenkov, presented the latest report on the counter-terrorism activities of the Russian Aerospace Forces in Syria. According to General Konashenkov, the airplanes of the Russian Federation armed forces deployed at the Khmeymim airbase struck militant positions in several Syrian provinces. In particular, in the province of Homs, the Russian bombers destroyed the hidden base of the DAISH (ISIL) terrorists in the area of ​​the settlement of El-Karateyn.

Igor Konashenkov says that the base consisted of a whole network of underground communications, including a command post, barracks and a warehouse weapons and ammunition. All these underground structures were destroyed by a hit aviation bombs.

Active work on the destruction of terrorists and their infrastructure was carried out in the province of Aleppo. There, Su-25CM attack planes and Su-24M bombers struck a crowd of manpower and military equipment of militants. Three cars with anti-aircraft installations and large-caliber machine guns, as well as about a dozen militants DAISH (ISIL) were destroyed.

Strikes were made in the province of Idlib.
The press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation cites a statement by Igor Konashenkov (quote RIA News):
In a separate building near the town of Maaret-en-Numan there was a warehouse of ammunition and equipment, as well as a command center of gangs.


Especially Igor Konashenkov stressed that information about the terrorist object was obtained from representatives of the so-called moderate Syrian opposition. After receiving this kind of information, the object began to be monitored by means of Russian unmanned aerial vehicles, confirming the fact that this is indeed a command post and a munitions depot of a terrorist group. After confirming the data the object was destroyed.

During the day, the aircraft of the VKS of the Russian Federation made about 60 combat missions in Syria


According to the representative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the operation of Russia in Syria is informationally open:
From regular representatives of the so-called anti-Igilov coalition, we regularly hear criticism of our attacks on the terrorist infrastructure in Syria, and even a pattern emerged - the more we beat terrorists, the more noise in the foreign media with links to some anonymous sources about the alleged non-selectivity of strikes by Russian aircraft.


According to an official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, the aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed over 320 militants and 34 units of military equipment (including Tanks) in Syria, having made about 60 sorties. In total, attacks were carried out on 212 terrorist targets.

According to Igor Konashenkov, after the completion of combat missions, all Russian aircraft returned to the air base.

Everything will be decided only by the regular army of Syria. In the event that it will be replenished by those who may be resisting it today, if self-government associated with the center is formed in the liberated cities, if humanitarian aid to residents and the provision of civilian life goes. And bombs, - to catch horror for a short moment, so that the motorized rifle advance and consolidate. Because the front line is not there as such, the IS may suddenly appear in your rear and hang out black flags.

        Your optimism is good. But in a real situation, it is necessary, at a minimum, to clean Iraq from terrorists. But this is not enough. Terrorists will find refuge in Turkey, among the Saudis, in Qatar, Jordan and Afghanistan. As you know, these Arab countries have borders in deserts or mountains and the penetration of bandit formations is simply inevitable. So peaceful life there is not foreseen for a long time. We cannot bomb gangsters in these countries without the permission of these countries. And they will not give us this permission, because they themselves are preparing terrorist gangs.

          Organizations are breaking up. Only selected Bedouin tribes,

          If these 3 gangsters at ISIS fulfill the role of commanders of at least some militant forces, at least they plan something there, then this can be considered headquarters.
          In general, you yourself bring the total number of militants under 200 thousand. All of them must be managed (you don’t think that they all roam there and attack whoever wants what), and I’m sure that there are headquarters of different levels. In your opinion there should be only 20 pieces for 200 thousand goals?
          In your opinion, it turns out that after the headquarters of the "N" group was bombed, this very group no longer tries to create anew the destroyed control bodies and just rummages around the desert? New commanders appear who are going to confer in the "shack", a Russian Aerospace Forces plane arrives, after which we hear a report about the next destroyed headquarters. And so in a circle.

          No, aircraft are partially assigned to pilots. Those. several pilots fly on the same plane one by one. Some are "working", others are resting, and still others are preparing to take off.
          Second, the planes carry out routine maintenance to replace units and repair them, well, and there are probably unplanned breakdowns. So the pilots have to "work" on another plane.

          Pilots or crews for a given period are "assigned" to a specific type, ie. on which one you arrived, on this one you "work".
          But do not forget, at the same time, the "load" on the flight shift, although, as a rule, in reality, they put a bolt on it ... soldier
          The only exception is for pilot-instructors and pilots of the "command link", well, or in the event of a technical malfunction or any other reason that interferes with the performance of bz on this particular aircraft.
          In the case of rotation of only the personnel of one unit or formation .. the aircraft can either remain in place or descend with the personnel .. but this applies only to machines that "can do it."
          By T.O. Aleksey_K already wrote you correctly in principle.

    Very decent .... at such a rate of loss and destruction, Daesh will not last long.
    To make up for a short time the loss of personnel and equipment on such a scale is unrealistic for Daesh, which has no stable funding due to the actions of our aviation.
    Western experts did not believe, and I doubted as a sinful thing that the forces of one reinforced air regiment could inflict such a rout on Daesh infrastructure .... it turns out to be possible.

            And about the KABs - given the number of militants and their low density, bombing the WTO is too expensive. And so they unloaded a couple of tons - if the cargo is 200, then 300 or 500 (deserters).

            Our military said on TV that there is a super-duper bomb sight on planes that has no analogues in the world. At the same time, the KVO of bombs when bombing from 5000 m is about 10 m. In practice, this brings ordinary bombs closer to high-precision weapons - although they say about KVO = 3 m, they really have the same 10. Actually, a video of these strikes was published in huge quantities Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. And Western magazines give these videos out as the results of the American coalition raids. Although the Western media reports are anecdotal: morning - the planes of the Russian Aerospace Forces missed and bombed a hospital and residential areas - the population mourned the dead and were indignant. A little later - it turned out that it was a raid by the US Air Force - immediately changes: the terrorists headquarters were bombed. The population was not affected.
            And they give out shooting of raids of the Russian Aerospace Forces for shooting raids of the American coalition, and this is by no means an isolated one.

              It can’t have a freely falling yomba dropped from 4,5 km and at a speed of East Kazakhstan - 10 m, well, it can’t be, but again I’m neither special, but really real, with the presence of a super sight

                for smooth free-falling bombs of KVO (circular probable deviation) (m) = 10 * Н + 0.1 * V
                N - height in kilometers
                V- speed in kilometers

                They used to think so, now I don’t know, maybe that has changed.

            They know better what they bombed. I myself am skeptical about such figures.

    Igor Konashenkov emphasized that information about the terrorist object was received from representatives of the so-called moderate Syrian opposition.

    Well, that’s all right, if the West came up with its moderates, why not Russia invent its moderate ones)))

      Why do we need to invent Tajiks to restore Syria. In Russia there are plenty of them. Weapons to give out for self-defense. They will be able to protect themselves.
      You can’t distinguish them from local ones. Turks have Turkomans wassat

    This is also confirmation of the correctness of the chosen tactics of action! The only way not to slow down the rate of eradication of the infection sown by the SGA, Qatar, Turkey and the Saudis! drinks

      The result is obvious, the US Congress allowed to trade in oil, which means the trick with cheap oil from daish maish ends so the second stage of bending Russia to saturate markets and lower oil prices is launched.
