Russia has released dramatic images of ISIS targets being destroyed by its air force in Syria.
Footage and images were released by the Russian Ministry of Defence which showed positions, including tanker trucks, being targeted.
The Kremlin claimed as many as 17 convoys had been hit, with Russia also estimated it has destroyed around 2,000 tankers since its beginning its campaign in the country four months ago, according to reports.
Lieutenant-General Sergey Rudskoi, the chief of the main operations directorate of the General Staff, said that since September 30, Russian aviation has conducted 5,240 sorties – or missions of aircrafts from takeoff to return.
The defense ministry has also set up multiple levels of surveillance to ensure the accuracy of the airstrikes.
He said:”Russia’s Ministry of Defense maintains close contact with the headquarters of the Syrian government’s army and armed patriotic opposition. They regularly provide additional intelligence about newly discovered terrorist targets. Once the information checks out, strikes will be carried out. This greatly increases the mobility and efficiency of neutralizing targets.”
