More than 50 fighter jets, attack aircraft and helicopters of the Russian Aerospace Forces have conducted airstrikes on IS positions in Syria...

Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said so.

"Airborne combat groups are deployed in the shortest possible time, as the main equipment and ammunition are provided at the technical facilities in Tartus. We just have to move there and receive them," Konashenkov said.

On September 30, after receiving approval from the Russian Senate, President Putin used the Russian Aerospace Forces to destroy the forces of the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS) in Syria.

Chairman of the Russian General Staff Sergey Ivanov emphasized that the Russian air force participated in destroying IS at the request of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

More than 50 fighter-bombers and helicopters were used by Russia to attack IS in Syria.

IS stronghold and ammunition depot were completely destroyed.

Major General Igor Konashenkov told journalists that Russia's modern Su-24M and Su-25 fighter jets are currently deployed in Syria.

“Su-24M and Su-25 carried out more than 20 sorties against eight IS facilities,” General Konashenkov said.

Last night, the Russian Aerospace Forces also attacked four IS facilities. Eight sorties were conducted by Su-24M and Su-25 fighter-bombers.

Air strikes destroyed a stronghold and ammunition depot near the city of Idlib.

An IS explosives and ammunition factory north of Homs city was also completely destroyed after being hit by Russian bombs.

It is known that Russia is actively using drones in Syria to determine the location of terrorist forces and collect data on the results of attacks./.
