Army generals blast Obama for 'weak, by-the-book' bomb attacks on ISIS which do no damage - as Russia and France wreak revenge and pummel group's Syrian capital [1/5]
Russian and French strikes (top and bottom right) come after it was revealed French jets had pounded targets in the terrorists' Syrian stronghold, including a command center and a recruitment base for jihadists. And on Tuesday, Russian president Vladimir Putin said they are working with France as 'allies' in their fight against Islamic State in Syria. His strong words come amid mounting criticism in army circles against Obama (pictured left in Manila on Tuesday), who generals accuse of sticking too firmly to a 'clean' war on ISIS which they say is ineffective and slow.

France's defense minister says 10 French fighter jets are carrying out new airstrikes on Islamic State group targets in Syria
Keane claims that ISIS is aware of the US rules of engagement and thus can't be found 'out in the middle of the desert totally exposed'.
'Every function and critical node they have is tucked in some place within the population,' he said.
President Obama has fought back against critics and said his strategy, which avoids sending ground forces to Syria or Iraq, is going to work but - 'it's going to take time'.
The US has launched 8,253 airstrikes against ISIS targets as of Tuesday, carrying out 95 percent of the airstrikes in Syria since the coalition air campaign against ISIS began last summer, according to the Pentagon.
On Monday US warplanes took out 100 tanker trucks ISIS uses to transport oil and earn millions every month and on Tuesday another 17 airstrikes were conducted by an American-led coalition, according to the Pentagon.
Meanwhile, France's defense minister says 10 French fighter jets are carrying out new airstrikes on Islamic State group targets in Syria.
Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said the jets have carried out new raids tonight. Speaking on TF1 TV, he said France will have 36 fighter jets in the region capable of carrying out airstrikes on IS targets once the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier reaches the zone.
Russia are also reportedly transporting paramilitary forces across Syria. Personnel and helicopters operating are operating inside the country to support, according to the Twitter account of Assyrian Christian militia, known as the Gozarto Protection Force (GPF).
The GPF are based in the western province of Homs are fighting to defend the predominantly Christian town of Sadad. They claim that the Russian military have flown in to join their fight against ISIS in the town.

A Russian Tupolev Tu-160 long-range bomber landing on the tarmac at the Hmeymim air base near Latakia, Syria
A $50 million reward has been offered for information leading to the capture of the terror cell responsible for the atrocity.
Alexander Bortnikov, head of the FSB security agency told Russian President Vladimir Putin: 'One can say unambiguously that it was a terror act.
'An improvised bomb with a capacity of up to 1.5 kg of TNT exploded on the fight.
'As a result, the aircraft was torn apart in the air, which explains the large distance over which the pieces of the fuselage of the aircraft have scattered.'

So Russia used a Kilo class submarine for launching kalibr missile from Mediterranean. They have used the Rostov on Don boat to launch th e missiles. Whatever may be the end of their adventure, they have utilized this opportunity to combat test their platforms and there by advertise their weapon systems!!!

Purportedly, the US gave the intelligence for the targets in Raqqa so they knew them all the time and for two years apparently bombed random insufficient locations (except one hospital in Afghanistan) and allowed ISIL to develop for the last few years.

Obama is weak, Putin is strong, and Hollande is maybe eyeing Putin as a role model.

Why would he bomb to destroy his buddies! He just did it to save face with the rest of the world. He's done the bare minimum and what he had to do, without showing that he wants ISIS to grow and succeed. There is no other answer to his behavior and his lack of action.

France and Russia need to sideline the US. The US is part of the problem NOT the solution.
Ulya, long way from Moscow, UAE, 1 hour ago
Tiredofblahblah - it is both, the US wants to destroy IS in Iraq but use IS in Syria to fight Assad. Problem is your gov have tried to play both sides of the game and lost control. Im sure the people of Paris thank your government

Don't we have some IC BMs that are soon to pass their use-by dates? It would be a shame to let them go to waste. Lets turn that desert to glass.

Euronews journalists have all mixed up. Cruise missiles were launched not from the Caspian sea and not from the ships. They were launched from Mediterranean sea from a submarine using ballistic trajectory. The rest were launched by bombers.
So this isn't a Kalibr, this is rather Kh-101/-102 or Kh-555.

Kh-555 is shorter and rounder.

Yes the rest of those missiles were lunched from Eastern Iran, Kermanshah
Russian Tu-95 and Tu-160 launch missiles in Iranian aerospace near Iraq border. This is a very high level of trust between Iran and Russia.
This is from official grafics, that were showed by Russian Defense ministry

That would be a big development.
