Russian Air Force heavy bombers made their first appearance over Syria yesterday night.
It looks like Moscow stepped up its military effort in Syria even before the intention to intensify the air strikes was announced by Putin on Nov. 17.
As initially reported by Reuters, a US official has confirmed that Moscow has conducted a significant number of strikes in Syria using both sea-launched cruise missiles and long-range bombers.
The Russian MoD said 25 long-range bombers took part in the raid: 5 x Tu-160s, 6 x Tu-95MS and 14 x Tu-22M3.

Now we are all cheering Putin because Omoron is clueless.
soviet, whoops, Russian Arc Light?
Yeah, I’m not ready to put Russia into western civilization quite yet.
No, they are bombing our Caliphate Installation Squad.
There he is! Jihad John Mk.I!
Iron bombs.
Meet population centers.
He said back when he'd side with the Muslims.
Obama has never looked more miserable in photos. His darling terrorists are finally on the international $hit list.
“Yeah, I’m not ready to put Russia into western civilization quite yet.”
I don’t think they would want you to. Given what Western civilization actually is - right now, today - I don’t think they lose a thing by not being a part of it.
Not sure, I think the Russians want versatility and to spread the load.
I didn’t know they still had any TU-22s operational as bombers.
The Russians don’t normally go for ‘targeted strikes.’ But a single bomber with a full load of 250 Kg bombs will do a bit of damage.
Neither did I.
They only post the videos they want ya to see, and I didn't see any pattern drops.
What new stuff are you talking about? Better hope and pray that rusty junk won’t fall apart over some friendly folks.
"The Bear"
Hopefully soon I can link to nice BUFF if Obummer will wake his sorry butt up and get serious, but don't hold your breath.
The only way the B-52s will be flying will be flying in that theater of operations is after we get a REAL American President back in the White House.
As for the TU-95 Bear?
That venerable airplane is the Russian ‘BUFF’, it has had many upgrades over the years and the current versions flying appear to have a lot of life in ‘em.
Which one looks so fragile.
I looked it up after I posted. It’s a different plane from the original Tu-22. Different engines and placement, different wings, and perhaps different fuselage, but otherwise the same. Backfires, not Blinders.
