Is it:
a) They have inferior precision and intel, or
b) this is done with the purpose to create larger flow of refuges to other countries.
or both?
Excellent video archives at link show military action in the M.E., including Russian ordnance being deployed.
October 21, 2015: Battles between Syrian regime forces and resistance groups were filmed using drones by Russian videographers in Damascus
It all depends on the Rules of Engagement.
Russia wants to win.
USA wants to be nice.
Ya, but wait until someone starts shooting back
Historically, Russia abhors a vacuum.
Third world dictators will be lining up to buy some of this new Russian weaponry which is half the reason Bad Vlad is in Syria putting on this show. With low oil/nat gas prices Russia is suffering a revenues deficit. International arms sales will help out quite a bit.
Thank you Fred Nerks for notification about this thread’s Australian article and video archive links on that site!
Just once I wish a “journalist” understood science and military weapons.
“The explosion from these high-powered weapons triggers a wave of heat 1000°C which burns all of the oxygen nearby, leaving victims unable to breathe”
Burns oxygen, eh?
SMH

Probably technology sold to China by Bill Clinton and shared with Russia by the Chinese.
Loving the Russian "Rules of Engagement" !
None of this wussified political correctness.
In Russia WTF stands for Win The Fight. Unlike the USA.
While we were asleep, the Russians, with a ton of Chinese help, have been closing the tech gap. Just imagine what the Chinese could have up their sleeves, given ONLY what we know about their electronic espionage successes.
What seems to be most surprising is how often the Russians are surging their newer aircraft, like the SU-34M’s, without having to stop for major maintenance breaks. They are flying 3-4 times a day, every day. (That’s a hell of a surge rate.)
As the article noted, none of our NATO allies can do that.
Vladimir Putin ramps up attacks on terrorists while Obama fingers his own incompetent butt.
It once made me proud to be an American, but that’s gone these seven years.
.....just read an article that in 2027 100% of Federal Revenue will be consumed by entitlements.
Our Navy will be reduced to rowboats!
Almost none of our NATO allies can match the Russians? Did anybody think they could? And when they say “almost none”, who are the ones who could?
Three cheers for the Crusaders!

So what are the Putinists going to say now: Russia first ar,y is going to kick a$$, or this is just something to bolster defense spending in the US because Russia is rusty?
No one?
