Six long-range Russian bombers blast ISIS targets in Abu Kamal

Six long-range Tupolev-22M3 bombers left an air base in Russia Friday and crossed Iranian and Iraqi space into E. Syria for a massive air strike on Islamic State strongholds, manpower and armored vehicles around Abu Kamal in the Deir ez-Zour province. They were escorted by Sukhoi-30SM fighters from the Hmeimim air base. DEBKAfile:  Syrian and Hizballah forces fighting for more than a week with Russian air support failed to dislodge ISIS forces, which not only recaptured Abu Kamal, but have pushed west to threaten Mayadin.

    They were in need of Sukhoi-30SM support because peasants would throw garlic and sheep scat onto the tupolevs of the great russian air defense. Plus, they heard Mugabe is stuck with alzheimer, which is a chance to sell one or two. Initially the name was Fuckhoi-13SM, but they have changed it because the 13 would not inspire great sales.

    Last stand for Israeli false flag troops. With no way out, it is a matter of time and bombs.

    I thought the TU 22 had been retired from service years ago.
