    Think you'll find it's the actual bombs that are the problem, not the tv coverage.

    Think you will find that the news coverage Is saying that its Russian bombs that are the problem. Our bombs are all very smart and never ever kill innocent civilians.

    Take cover, there's a potentially misleading news report coming in. Also some bombs, but don't worry about them so much.

    It's safer to be an armed combatant than a civilian in these conflicts for some reason

    I don't know what to believe about Syria, haven't a clue. We've got Assad, anti-Assad rebels, Kurds and Isis in Syria with UK, USA, Russia and Turkey all attacking one or more of them yet no one seems to want to settle it.

    What's going on Dev?

    I wish they would do that here. Put them in stews and feed them to the homeless.

    Let's look at what RT is actually saying:

    "Islamic State militants have lost “most” of their ammunition, heavy vehicles and equipment in Russian airstrikes, the Defense Ministry said Tuesday. At least 86 ISIS targets were hit during 88 sorties in the last 24 hours."

    86 ISIS targets were hit in 88 sorties in 24 hours. Now I never bought into the myth about ISIS sweeping all before them because the fact is they've not actually fought anyone of note (the Khurds apart who seemed to have kicked their arses) but for Russia to have claimed to have destroyed most of ISIS in 24 hours is laughable.

    Western experts seem to agree.

    Charlie Winter, a senior researcher for the anti-extremism think-tank Quilliam, said reports on the ground of Isis territorial gains “run contrary to Russia’s claims”.“I highly doubt that even the Russians, who will be party to much of Assad intelligence, know where the “majority of ISIS ammunition, heavy vehicles and equipment” is located

    Dr Andreas Krieg, an expert on the Middle East from King’s College’s Department of Defence Studies, said the positions Russia had said it was targeting "have been in the hands of moderate rebels for months now" - not Isis. "They also do not have the precision strike capability that Western air forces have," he said. "These claims that Isis has been significantly weakened are either highly exaggerated or wrong."
