Vladimir Putin was furious when one of his country's jets was downed after flying close to, or in, according to conflicting reports, Turkish air space.
But he has not allowed that diplomatic row deter his air force pounding ISIS targets in Syria.
Since Monday, the Russian forces have performed 134 combat sorties, targeting 449 objects across eight Syrian provinces, including Raqqa, the de-facto ISIS capital.
They also said a wave of strikes in the region one Russian pilot died and another had to be rescued had seized crucial weapons trafficking routes from ISIS.
A Russian Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "As soon as Russian pilot was safe, Russian bombers and reactive artillery of the Syrian governmental forces have conducted massive airstrikes in the area for a long period of time. The terrorists operating in this zone and other mysterious groups were eliminated."

Considering it took us 10 years fighting a 2 trillion dollar compassionate war and we still won nothing, it is no surprise.
“...other mysterious groups were eliminated.”
Who are these “other mysterious groups”?
Say what you want about politics, but those Sukhoi aircraft are good looking machines.
Now that is Russian 18 wheeler.
Love their aircraft designs
If a stray Russkie bomb was accidentally dropped on Erdogan’s head, it’d be O.K. with me.
If you really want to piss off Turkey, just support the Kurds and talk about the Armenian Genocide.
I doubt no one on this planet has the stomach to inflict this much (and needed) casualties. Not even the Russians.
Ya but all those American made taxpayer bought Toyota trucks they’re destroying...
That is because Obama gave it all away. Well most of it, we still have some troops in Afghanistan.

“”The terrorists operating in this zone and other mysterious groups were eliminated.”””
But the 5 star general in the White House says Putin doesn’t know what he’s doing and his planes are not inflicting any damage on ISIS...Only his plans and strategy will defeat ISIS. We got ‘em cornered now! Who are we going to believe? Hmmmmmm!
If it’s not on video I don’t believe Russia
I think those multi-million soldiers ane fair game.
Putin kills muslim savages while Obama weeps.
The Obama scam has been revealed - his fake war on ISIS is trumped by Putin’s real war.
