RUSSIAN war planes have struck 10 Islamic State (ISIS) targets in the past 24 hours – including a suicide belt factory.
The country's defence ministry said Russian bombers had also taken out a terrorist training camp during 20 sorties.
"As a result of our air strikes on Islamic State targets, we have managed to disrupt their control system, the terrorist organisation's supply lines, and also caused significant damage to the infrastructure used to prepare acts of terror," the ministry announced.
The spokesperson added that the strikes took place in Idlib and Raqqa, the self-proclaimed Syrian capital of the terror group.
Russian war planes have previously destroyed ammunition stores and command centres during their ferocious assault on ISIS.
Andrei Kartapolov, a senior Russian General, added: "We will not only continue strikes. We will also increase their intensity.
"Over three days we were able to undermine the terrorists' infrastructure and significantly reduce their military potential."
The news come as Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly planning an ambitious mission to take control of the city of Raqqa.

Sure he did.
