No, I am saying the Russians did not target hospitals, but would return fire on any location from which they received fire, which would be common ROE in a hot combat zone.
Here the Russians take out one building in Rastan. Indiscriminate bombing?

They are hunting individuals who are embedded in and hiding among a conquered population. Thus far in 30 days they have done pretty well. Here is a list and not up to date as more names announced today, as they took out in Aleppo the son of the UK hate cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed, and others
As for the hospital claims, I am suggesting that field facilities treating combatants might not be registered with the ICRC or Syrian Government, or thus made known to Russia, as “hospitals”. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) cannot verify these claims of hospital attacks in Syria with any of its ground personnel (suggesting they were not established hospitals or the attaaks did not occur or are greatly exaggerated in number)

The claimant of these attacks, the “Syrian American Medical Association” is a reported Soros-funded mouthpiece. Their main source of information, and often quoted as a source in the UK press, is the “Syrian Observatory for Human Rights” which is based in the UK. That is a one man operation located in an apartment in London. The man who passes along “intelligence” gleaned from twitter and ?? has not personally been to Syria since 2000.
If you believe the Russians are intentionally targeting civilians or have poor intelligence about their battlefield targets (and that the US does or has done a better job countering an urban insurgency) then I ask you to watch the video in this presentation by an ex-SAS soldier about US battle operations in Iraq in Afghanistan. It is dated, but HIGHLY relevant to targeting decisions by the worlds most advanced military during an urban insurgency.
Do watch the video of US Apaches setting up and smoking a Reuters film crew in a civilian neighborhood, and then lighting up an Iraqi family in a van which came on the scene and tried to help. Then let’s all criticize claims of civilian deaths during Russian combat in Syria

If we had done this to Ramadi, we would have saved a lot of US military lives and injuries and we would not have left a future stronghold for the ISIS guys to retake.
Sometimes, excessive force ultimately saves lives, even of the enemy because the survivors don’t want to have any more of that so choose peace.
Hmm.... agreed.
Couldn’t find the same scene in English on youtube, only dubbed in Spanish.
though the scene applies to the comments exchanged.
Basically, the original in English says: “I don’t have time for this sh!t”...
