How come you know that since the whole video is in Russian and I could not understand anything. Do you know how to speak Russian?He says they made 431 sorties and hit 1,458 targets. Thats more than 3 targets per sortie. Usual ratio is opposite: ~3 sorties per target. For example in Chechnya Russians made 14,000 sorties and hit 3,519 targets. This propaganda is designed for imbeciles.

I am fluent in Russian.How come you know that since the whole video is in Russian and I could not understand anything. Do you know how to speak Russian?
Ultron jan, you watch too much comics movies.A Su-24 / 30 / 34 strike plane typically carries 4 500 kg bombs. That's 4 targets in 1 sortie.
Ethnically Russian?
What about Tu-22 & Tu-160 bombers !?
No.Ethnically Russian?
Tu-22 dropped all their dumb bombs in one place thats one target per sortie (if they hit somethin). Tu-160 made 8 sorties total launching 56 cruise missiles total. Hell knows what they hit anyway it does not change stats much.What about Tu-22 & Tu-160 bombers !?
According to Trevor Dupuy analysis in wars from 1945-1991 there are 0.25 targets hit per sortie.No he is ethnic butt hurt. He is comparing Chechnya in where Russia focused most strikes in heavily wooded areas, often in snow storms and fog, while operating aircraft that could rarely conduct air strikes at night. Now factor that Chechnya had poor intel, very little to no drones, old satellites and subpar pilots with little flight time, and its easy to see why the strike per sortie ratio is so low.
On the flip side much of Syria is desert, with mostly clear weather conditions. Moreover, there is simply more targets in Syria; aircraft are capable of conducting night strikes, drones are used for intel, newer satellites are available, Russia has a joint information intel center where it receives intel from Iraq, Syria, and Iran (this simply allows for more targets to be identified and bombed) and lastly the quality of pilots is superior. The fact that he is even trying to make an argument only shows his lack of critical thinking skills.
No.

During Israeli war in Lebanon 2006 were made over 15,500 sorties including over 12,000 combat. Were struck 6,900 targets. Israel is fling non stop over Lebanon since end of 1960-es and know every stone there. Virtually all weapons used here were smart.
Coalition anti ISIS campaign made 22,300 sorties (including many sorties with B-1B bombers), hitting 13,800 targets. 99% of weapons used were smart.
The overwhelming majority of sorties by RuAF in Syria on the other hand are done with 4 250-kg dumb bombs. Even 0.5 targets per sortie would be a very good result.
Bottom line. 3+ targets per sortie is joke beyond belief.

That place is crawling with terrorists from ISIS..May be..He says they made 431 sorties and hit 1,458 targets. Thats more than 3 targets per sortie. Usual ratio is opposite: ~3 sorties per target.

Ultron jan, you watch too much comics movies.
Su-24 taking off with 4 FAB-250 bombs = 1,000 kg
Here with 2 bombs = 500 kg
Su-34 same. 1000 kg total.
The overwhelming majority of sorties done by Russia'n jets are with dumb bombs and dumb rockets from that era.And WW2, Korea, Vietnam is relevant how?
All Israeli jets are armed with smart bombs.Again what does this have to do with the topic? Two different conflicts, carried out by two different air forces. Russia is hitting dozens of different terror organizations and not just one or two groups, again the fact that there is simply more targets for Russia to bomb is something you have difficulty grasping
Joke indeed:Those coalition sorties were a joke
So called ISIS oil trucks are joke. Even according to Russian estimates, which are obviously exaggerated, they exported no more than 35 mln $ of oil a year. That oil is not enough even for Luxemburg.they managed to somehow miss convoys of hundreds of ISIS trucks and did not touch ISIS in many areas where ISIS was fighting the Syrian army, one example is the Kowaires military air base.
Convoy is still one target. Of course if u want to inflate targets u can count each bug inside a convoy as target.The convoy of 525 ISIS trucks that were destroyed by Russian airstrikes surly did not take 525 sorties or bombs. This is something that obviously did not even come into your head. Furthermore, as i mentioned earlier your coalition air strikes do not bomb all of the terrorist groups in Syria, while Russia is bombing them all (FSA, ISIS, Al-Nusra, ect), heck the "coalition" would not even bomb many ISIS targets that were engaged in fighting the Syrian army. So factor in everything and take into account that one bomb can destroy multiple targets (example Russia hitting rows of ISIS fuel trucks).
The overwhelming majority of sorties done by Russia'n jets are with dumb bombs and dumb rockets from that era.
All Israeli jets are armed with smart bombs.
All have new generation FLIR pods.
Israel has most modern fleet of UAVs.
Israel gathered intelligence and flied over Lebanon for decades.
Yet its is 6 times less effective than ancient Russian planes with dumb bombs.
Joke indeed:
Just 2 times territory expansion. Nothing at all.
So called ISIS oil trucks are joke. Even according to Russian estimates, which are obviously exaggerated, they exported no more than 35 mln $ of oil a year. That oil is not enough even for Luxemburg.
These trucks Russia is bombing for PR stunt are nothing but fuel for poor people of Syria to warm themselves in winter.

WW2 bombers had excellent Norden sights which made precise calculations. Problem that u cant predict air flows even if u have most magic computers. Thats why dumb bombs from horizontal flight will never be accurate. The only way to increase accuracy of dumb bombs is step dive. Thus WW2 German Stukas were far more accurate than today Russian bombers which drop dumb bombs from 6 km altitude.And those dumb bombs are dropped with the aid of automated targeting computers something that was not available in WW2 so again your arguments are hallow. And i'm not even going to mention the drone and satellite technology and somehow try to compare that with Vietnam or Korea. Simply put you comparing sortie to strike ratios from WW2, Korea, Vietnam, ect is just dumb....period!
Su-24 and Su-25 which carry the overwhelming majority of sorties dont have neither pods nor smart bombs at all. Su-34 carres smart bombs sometimes but pods are very primitive daylight. Russian UAVs are also generation behind the western.Again a stupid example, Russia also uses smart bombs especially as of late, Russia too has FLIR, UAVs and also gathers information, so again if anyone's argument is a joke it would be yours.
"40 terrorist groups" are nothing but bunch of peasants.Again you seem to not understand my argument or you refuse to listen. Russia simply has more targets to bomb (over 40 different terrorists groups). Israel on the other hand has who to bomb?
Before coalition intervened ISIS was chasing Kurds. 200,000 Kurds fled from Kobani canton.Firstly this is over years of fighting, secondly any territory gained from those "airstrikes" are a result of Kurdish fighting.
I repeat. I used Russia own numbers. According to Russian generals ISIS exports "up to" 2 K barrels a day. Which gives no more than 35 million dollars a year in export of oil. That's joke number.Yes yes, all a joke, hundreds of fuel trucks spanning miles and miles is "exaggerated". Fuel refineries being bombed are also "exaggerated". Notice your propaganda, despite overwhelming video and photographic evidence as well as reports which are confirmed by many different countries in regards to Russian bombing and the progress made by that bombing you are always sitting back and running spouting the same nonsense on repeat.
You really are special. Let me get this right, Russia or Syria just happened to find hundreds upon hundreds of trucks so they gathered them all up and then bombed them, to make it more realistic they then bombed oil refineries, listen to the crap you are saying
This is 1 mile x 1 mile flamable static target with well known location. Do u think Assadists themselves could not destroy it if they wanted to? Nothing but PR stunt by Putin.
Of course its one target, unless tanks are scattered around. Just like aircraft carrier with 100 jets and 5000 crewmembers is 1 target.You are now simply either blatantly trolling or you are a kid. During the gulf war was a convoy of Iraqi tanks destroyed by air strike(s) considered one target? a convoy is simply many different targets or vehicles traveling down a road. There are many different targets that are engaged.
