Russian Air Force Destroys a Large ISIS Convoy in East Homs Amid the Syrian Army’s Counter-Attack

[Gazprom]

The Russian Air Force made their presence felt by the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) Friday morning, as they carried out 4 powerful airstrikes over the ancient Syriac Christian city of Al-Quraytayn and the Teefor-Palmyra Highway inside the Homs Governorate’s eastern countryside.

According to a military source in the Homs Governorate, the Russian Air Force first struck the ISIS command and control center inside the city of Al-Quraytayn; this airstrike by the Russian Air Force was reportedly a direct hit on the ISIS site, resulting in the destruction of the terrorist group’s C & C building.

Not long after their first airstrike in Al-Quraytayn, the Russian Air Force struck the terrorist group again, attacking an ISIS convoy attempting to make their way to the Teefor-Palmyra Highway near the Teefor Military Airport and Teefor Pumping Station.

The Russian Air Force would strike the terrorist group two more times along the highway stretching from the Iraqi-Homs border to the city of Al-Quraytayn; this left ISIS paralyzed around this vast desert front, as they were not able to reinforce their embattled comrades combatting both the heat and the Syrian Armed Forces.

Taking advantage of the Russian airstrikes, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and National Defense Forces (NDF) pushed ISIS back from the town Maheen towards Al-Quraytayn after a two hour engagement that resulted in the death of 18 terrorists and the destruction of two armored vehicles mounted with a 23mm anti-aircraft machine gun.

The Syrian Armed Forces launched a counter-attack from their positions to the southwest of Al-Quraytayn in order to recover the main road leading to this ancient Syriac Christian city.

@vostok ; @SiCiSi :

What are your thoughts on the Russian end game here?

Is it just to shore up the Assad government to stop it's collapse, or is it a wholesale rout of all rebel groups including ISIS in Syria?

Russia is forced to act until victory, because if the terrorists wins (and their sponsors and trainers), the next fight will be in Caucasus and Central Asia.

I am not a big fan of Assad, he was too brutal at the start of the protests in 2011, but he is the only chance that Syrians have of stability and a normal life. He is way, way better than any of the alternatives.

Hope Russia succeeds in helping Syria smash all the rebels in Syria and unite the country under Assad - not all the rebel groups are bad-intentioned but they must either disarm or be destroyed for the sake of the Syrian people.

You just know nothing, the reason of why Russia come is because Bashar is near collapse. The advance is actually made by the coalition of opposition forces (no ISIS there). This intervention will make the advancement get stuck or situation get into a balance once more, thus more suffering to Syrian people.

You seem butt-hurt dude.

Seems like we have another sectarian cheerleader here who only sees things through a sectarian prism.

Yep, end game is to bring the islamist moderate beheaders into the Russian mainland. Putin understands this.

There is no major advance for either group in Syria. It was already a stalemate for a long time. Russians wants to give SAA a major boost, thats it.

Oya just laugh there and stay in England while giving moral support to Russia bombing. You must see the areas that are targeted by Russian before talking here. The term terrorist which is made by Russian will make us clear of why ISIS is not the main target here.

The opposition force (under Islamist coalition banner) has made huge gain this year, every one who follow the current situation knows that
