Today’s strikes on CIASIS in Syria involved 26 cruise missile launches from the Caspian sea, along with additional strikes from the air.
QUESTION: Why would Russia use expensive cruise missiles when there is no way any legitimate ISIS could take preventive action against much cheaper airstrikes?
ANSWER: Because America can warn CIA assets of approaching aircraft and tell them to take cover or leave the area. The U.S. still most likely cannot track a cruise missile, which will take care of the CIA just fine, at additional cost. And Russia can fit that into a budget of $400 billion somewhere.

Russia warships fire cruise missiles as Moscow backs Syrian army offensive


Max Delany — TIME Oct 7, 2015

Russian warships joined in strikes in Syria with a volley of cruise missile attacks as Russian President Vladimir Putin pledged his air force would back a ground offensive by government forces.

Ships from the Caspian Sea fleet launched 26 cruise missile strikes that hit 11 targets over 1,500 kilometres away in Syria, Moscow said.

Putin said Russian efforts “will be synchronised with the actions of the Syrian army on the ground and the actions of our air force will effectively support the offensive operation of the Syrian army”, at a televised meeting with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.

The Russian leader, however, also stressed the need for cooperation with a US-led coalition fighting Islamic State jihadists, saying that without cooperation from the US, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, the intervention was unlikely to work.

Russian forces have struck 112 targets in war-torn Syria since last week launching a bombing campaign that Moscow says is targeting the IS group, Shoigu told Putin in the televised briefing.

“Strikes have hit 112 targets from September 30 until today,” Shoigu said. “The intensity of the strikes is increasing.”

In a sign that Russia was ramping up its involvement, Shoigu said that four Russian warships had hit sites in Syria on Wednesday with cruise missiles.

“In addition to the air force, four warships of the Caspian flotilla have been involved,” Shoigu said, adding that the warships had carried out 26 cruise missile strikes against 11 targets.

A military spokesman told Russian news wires that the strikes from the warships had hit positions of IS and Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front.7

Another red line for POTUS nothing will happen. You have to admire Putin. At least he has balls.



Putin is going to be pointing his funny stick at ANYONE pointing theirs at Assad...if the U.S. Doesn't understand that yet then we are going to have a problem, however luckily with Obama it will only boil down to a stirring speech with Kennedy overtones and lots of thoughtful press pictures of him thinking and staring out of the window of the WH.

I love Russia shaa oo.....U.S is playing pranks

One cannot but wonder what the primary purpose of government is. What possible gain can US or Russia derive from the escalation of the crisis we already have in Syria and other parts of the middle-East.

When the world leaders gather they make so much rhetoric in support of : peace in every corner of the world; food and quality standard of living for every individual but their practical actions totally negate the spirit of their speeches.

In recent time these war-backers have put no one in doubt they so much need a 3rd world war. When they start God help us all.

As much as I love Russia, They can't support Assad after all his crimes!
