Moscow (AFP) - Russian air strikes destroyed an Islamic State command post near Raqa among other targets, the defence ministry said on Saturday, as Moscow pressed on with its bombing campaign in Syria.

"Over the past 24 hours SU-34 and SU-24M jets of the Russian airborne formation in Syria made more than 20 sorties over nine Islamic State infrastructure facilities," the defence ministry said.

SU-34 fighters jet dropped a concrete busting BETAB-500 bomb on a command post in the area of IS stronghold Raqa, releasing video of the strike.

"A powerful explosion in the bunker means that it was also used by terrorists to store a large amount of ammunition," the defence ministry said in a statement.

SU-24 bombers also destroyed a warehouse that stored ammunition in the mountains near the city of Jisr al-Shughur in Idlib province in northwestern Syria.

The warehouse was completely destroyed, the ministry said, referring to a "huge cloud of smoke and crater" following the strikes.

SU-34 fighter jets also targeted a training camp belonging to the Islamic State group near the town of Maaret al-Numan in Idlib province and destroyed ammunition and equipment, the ministry said.

Russian unmanned aerial vehicles continue to monitor the areas under control of the Islamic State group, the statement said.

"All the targets get destroyed quickly, irrespective of weather conditions and time of the day."

Russia on Wednesday launched air strikes in Syria, its first major military engagement outside the former Soviet Union since the occupation of Afghanistan in 1979.

Washington has accused Russia of striking moderate rebels fighting against the embattled Syrian president under cover of a claimed assault on IS militants.

US President Barack Obama warned Friday that Moscow's aggressive military campaign in Syria was a "recipe for disaster."

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's Air Force has carried out more than 60 flights in Syria in the past 72 hours and significantly reduced the military potential of terrorists there, a senior official in the Russian army told Russian news agencies on Saturday.

The official, Andrei Kartapolov from the Russian army's General Staff, said Russia's Air Force had targeted more than 50 Islamic State objects in its air strikes.

"The strikes were carried out around the clock from the Hmeymim air base along the whole depth of the territory of Syria," Kartapolov said, according to RIA news agency.

He said Russia had warned the United States ahead of launching its air strikes and recommended that the United States stop its own flights in areas where Russia's air force was operating.

"The Americans told us during discussions, that no one apart from terrorists were in that region," Kartapolov said, referring to the area where Russia's Air Force was active, according to Interfax.

Launching air strikes is a good way to get involved, allow pilots and other airforce crew to gain valuable military experience and yet, stay well away from danger. I hope our RSAF would also take part and use ISIS for target practice. Our SAF could do with some real military action instead of just peacekeeping and giving out of rations to disaster-struck areas.

Airstrikes when perfectly right and killed Obama's Terrorists.

Putin is so successful. Bravo! Bravo!

I hope he drop this and show Obama the end of his dreams in Syria, and will make Jews shit pants in Israel, while feeling the earthquakes.

This bomb needs to be dropped 15Xs at Israeli border area off Golan, the smoke burnt smell of corpses and quakes will transmit directly to Jews towns. Shiok!

One blast every 6 hourly, day and night. Mushroom cloud similar to nuke visible from afar.

Russian airstrikes destroy Islamic State militant targets

Dramatic footage has emerged of Russian airstrikes destroying Syria as residents below capture the lives they live amid the raging civil war.

Sounds of Russian air force planes can be heard screeching across the sky as bombs are dropped on the town.

The presumed Syrian man can be heard commenting on what is happening around him as more explosions can be heard nearby.

Douma is located about 10 kilometres north-east of the centre of Damascus.

Liveleak claims the video occurred on the 4th October 2015.

The Russian air force began striking Syria on Wednesday and over the past 24 hours, it has carried out 20 flights targeting 10 ISIS positions, the Russian Defense Ministry announced in a statement.

A classic asymmetric warefare

Russia is engaged in "classic asymmetric warfare" in Syria by using its military clout to prop up the Syrian President while saying it is attacking Islamic State militants, Britain's foreign minister said.

The dramatic escalation of foreign involvement in the civil war has been criticised by the West as an attempt to prop up President Bashar al-Assad, rather than its purported aim of attacking Islamic State.

"It looks like a classic bit of Russian asymmetric warfare - you have a strong propaganda message that says you're doing one thing while in fact you are doing something completely different and when challenged you just flatly deny it," Philip Hammond told Reuters in an interview in Manchester.

Assad end game?

Hammond said the key to ending the suffering caused by the four-year civil war was a managed transition to peace - even if it meant Assad retained power temporarily.

"If the price for doing that is that we have to accept that Assad will remain as titular head of state for a period of time, do I really care if that's three days, three weeks, three months or even longer? I don't think I do," he said.

But Hammond said that for such a transition, Assad should make a pledge not to run in any future election and that he would give up control over Syria's security apparatus.

He added that there was no agreement with Moscow and Tehran on such a transition.

"The key is that there must be a transition – at the moment there is no agreement with the Russians and the Iranians even that there should be a transition," he said.

Hammond also said Russia represented a threat to the international system upon which Britain's security depended, saying it had shown that it did not respect diplomatic norms.

He pointed to Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region last year as an example of Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin's approach to international law.

But, he said that Moscow still had an important role to play in the Middle East and that Britain could not afford to ignore Russia's role in negotiating peace in Syria.

"It would not be in our own interests to say that we will not talk to the Russians about the situation in Syria because we object so strongly to what they are doing in Ukraine," he said.

"We have to compartmentalise these disputes," calling for Russia to re-engage with the international system.

"We just need a Russia that accepts there are rules in the system, and you can't throw your toys out of the pram and resort to military force every time you don't get your way," he said.

ISIS is a creation of the Zionist Jews. :wink:

Putin is the good guy in this scenario. Russia has a naval port in Syria, no one should stir shit in Syria and not expect repercussions. :cool:

Air strikes gone wrong! We are not supposed to attack ISIS!
