Ud med bomberne!
Nogle af de mest forbløffende klip siden det russiske luftvåben startede sine bombetogter i September var fra cockpittet af de russiske fly når de tog af fra Khmeimim luftbasen, udførte deres bombetogter og kom tilbage til basen.
Afskære smugling...
Det var strategisk vigtigt at lamme terroristernes økonomiske flow ved at ødelægge infrastrukturen såsom raffinaderier, såvel som tankvogne som den Islamiske Stat brugte til at smugle olie til Irak og Tyrkiet.
... og forsyningsruterne
Et andet nøglemål var afskære terroristernes forsyningsruter, hvilket var tilfældet med broen over floden Euphrates som den Islamiske Stat (IS, tidligere ISIS/ISIL) brugte til at bringe forsyninger fra Irak, ifølge den russiske generalstab.

For our people
Immediately after IS terrorists claimed responsibility both for the downing of the Russian passenger plane in Sinai and mass shootings in Paris in November, Russia stepped up its bombardment of terror targets. Russian servicemen at Khmeimim airbase responded to terrorists by scribbling "for our people" and "for Paris" on bombs that soon hammered the enemy.
Long reach...
Russian long-range strategic bombers have conducted their maiden combat flights during the Syria operation, launching hundreds of tons of smart bombs and cruise missiles on terrorist targets.
... from sea...
Russian forces moved beyond air-to ground operations when its warships in the Caspian Sea for the first time fired cruise missiles at IS installations. The video released by the Defense Ministry included a map that tracked them whole way to Syria through Iranian and Iraqi airspaces.
... and below
During the Syrian operation the Russian military also struck IS targets with Kalibr land-attack cruise missiles launched from a submarine in the Mediterranean Sea.
Best defense...
After Turkey's downing of the Russian Su-25 bomber in Syrian airspace, Moscow deployed the S-400 Triumf system at Hmeymim. Russia's most advanced air defense system is ready to detect and destroy any target within 400 km radius that would jeopardize the safety or Russian aircraft and military personnel.
... and good offense
In order to provide defense and support for Russian military action in Syria, combat helicopters deployed at Hmeymim were equipped with wide range of armaments and were ready to take off and to put it to good use at any moment.
Pinpoint strikes
In total the Russian Air Group in Syria conducted more than 9,000 sorties, according to the Defense Ministry, which on a regular basis released details and footage of the precision strikes that eliminated numerous depots with munitions, arms and material assets, as well as terrorists training camps since September 30, 2015.
