it is unusual for moscow. but they are positioned to be a legit army in this conflict. The host country asked them to be there and granted use of their airspace. the syrian army is providing boots on the ground.
they have made allies with iran and strategic air control platform is in baghdad. baghdad has given permission to use of their air space if isis flees to that country.
it is a real force and the jets and bombers are state of the art missile guidance system. the leaders group of isis is scandinavian checheyen and african as well as saudis the remains of hussiens ground troops and others.

the rebels have seized an airfield in syria and it was the first to be targeted. in tanskir, they told obama and the kerry is in the know and gave the americans a heads up when a three star general paid a visit to american embassy in bagdad.

america has no authority to be in syria no invite no un mandate no signed agreements simply no legit purpose to be flying  over their air space. they have half heartedly dragged in kicking and screaming to engage isis they bomb with no coordination with any ground forces.
mccains privately funded army the free syrians are trained to 200 soldiers according to scott pellys broadcast on cbs last night or the night before.caught a few moments of it.
of which half has been captured the other half has joined al qaeda.

Moscow position is legit ours isn't it big pill to choke down but again i agree with trump if they want the mess best of luck to you maybe obama's pathetic leadership skills could be focused on northern afghanistan.
 leave this coalition of russia syria iraq and iran to  defeat isis. taking out rebel positions in homs is a strategic concern for it is the road between russian air base and naval ports and damascus.

we had been beating the assad got to go drum for four years now he is there. we have no real way to remove him. russia realizes to defeat isis they need assad. after this mop up campaign is over maybe europe can be relieved of the burden of millions of refugees.

go ahead obama and kerry tell us the story of how you allowed russia defeat isis...

The US and Saudi Arabia liked ISIS and Putin is calling us out. Funding the rebels (terrorists, freedom fighters, ISIS etc) against Assads army was a plan that was put in place years before Obama took office.
