 General Staff about Russian aircraft's actions in Syria

During the operation in Syria, Russia’s Aerospace Forces delivered around 90,000 strikes against terrorists, the chief of the Russian General Staff’s Main Operations Directorate Colonel-General Sergei Rudskoy said at the roundtable at the Army-2017 military and technical forum.

"Since the beginning of the military operation, the Aerospace Forces have made more than 28,000 sorties, delivering around 90,000 airstrikes," TASS cited Rudskoy as saying.

The chief of the Russian General Staff’s Main Operations Directorate said that the Russian military campaign dealt a heavy blow to the terrorists’ control system and infrastructure. "The main routes of supplying gunmen with weapons and ammunition have been blocked. Terrorist organizations have been deprived of financial support from illegal sales of oil products," Colonel-General noted.

He added that during the operation to destroy crucial terrorist facilities, the Aerospace Forces used cruise missiles from warships, submarines and strategic missile carriers with the range of up to 1,500 kilometers and also aircraft of long-range bomber aviation.
