Putin hits ISIS where it hurts, taking out a refinery and oil trucks
ONCE AGAIN RUSSIA SHOWS just what can be done if you are seriously wanting to stop and destroy ISIS. Unlike the US led coalition real damage is being done to the economic funding ISIS has been getting from its control of the oil refineries. Obama’s program of “slow and degrade) ISIS is more like sending a rebellious child for a time out while he continues to have use of his electronics in his room. If the matter wasn’t so serious it would be a joke.
Russia has released footage which shows its fighter jets targeting oil trucks and a refinery, as Moscow confirmed it hit more than 200 targets in Syria in 127 sorties.
On Tuesday alone, the day Russia confirmed a terrorist attack caused the downing of a passenger jet in Egypt, it hit 206 targets a defence ministry source told RT. France meanwhile said it had destroyed 35 targets since the terrorist attack.
As well as flying from an airfield near Latakia, they also flew strategic bombers from Russian territory.
Moscow announced last night that its warplanes are hunting ISIS oil tanker trucks in Syria.
Russia’s increased involvement comes after admitting a 'terrorist attack' brought down a Russian passenger jet over Egypt last month, killing all 224 people on board.
Those deaths and the shootings and suicide bombings in Paris on Friday which killed 129 people were claimed by ISIS, and in retaliation joint Russian and French raids have struck arms depots, barracks and other areas in Raqqa city, the jihadists' stronghold in northern Syria.
Russia has announced that its air force has so far destroyed around 500 fuel trucks in the past few days as they transport oil from Syria to refineries in Iraq in what is a key part of ISIS financing.
Last month it was revealed ISIS is still making more than £320million a year from oil, despite the US-led bombing campaign which was meant to break up the insurgency.
'This is where we must hit Daesh, in its lifeblood,' said French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, using the Arabic acronym for the group.
Despite their diametrically opposed stances on Assad, France and Russia agreed to coordinate their military and security services to fight ISIS after the attacks in Paris and the downing of the Russian airliner.
The vast wealth generated by oil fields, power plants, extortion, taxes, and the pillaging of antiquities means ISIS is the most well-funded terrorist group in history, experts have warned.
Figures from oil workers in Syria and Iraq along with Western intelligence estimates suggest up to 40,000 barrels are being produced every day in ISIS-held territory.
