In support of the Syrian government forces in defeating the Igil
militants in the east of Syria in the Deir ez Zor province, six long-range
Tu-22M3 bombers of the Russian military aerospace station inflicted a group air
strike against terrorist targets near the city of Abu Kemal.
The targets for the defeat were weapons stores, equipment shelters,
strong points and terrorist control points.
Long-range bombers took off from the territory of Russia, flew over
the territory of Iran and Iraq and went to the area of air strikes.
The fighter-air cover of long-range bombers over the territory of Syria was carried out by Su-30SM aircraft from the airfield Khmeimim.
The objective control data confirmed the defeat of all assigned
targets.
After the successful completion of the combat mission, Russian
aircraft returned to the airfields of the basing.

Russian Defense Ministry spokesman described the losses suffered by the terrorists near Abu Kamal as very heavy
MOSCOW, November 3. /TASS/. Six Russian Tupolev-22M3 bombers and
The Kolpino submarine have carried out a massive strike against militants of
the Islamic State (terrorist group outlawed in Russia) in Syria, Defense
Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Friday.
"Long-range bombers Tupolev-22 and the submarine The Kolpino
have dealt a massive missile and air strike against the infrastructure and
militants of the Islamic State near Abu Kamal. Six strategic bombers Tupolev-22
and six submarine-launched cruise missiles Kalibr hit terrorists’
fortifications, weapons and ammunition depots, manpower and command
centers," he said.
Konashenkov described the losses suffered by a major Islamic State
group near Abu Kamal as very heavy.
"This enabled General Hassan Suheil’s assault forces to launch
active offensive operations with the aim to wipe out the Islamic State’s last
stronghold in the east of Syria," Konashenkov said.
The submarine The Kolpino launched the Kalibr missiles from a
submerged position at a distance of more than 650 kilometers. Participating in
the missile and air strike were Sukhoi-24 and Sukhoi-34 bombers from the
Khmeymim air base. The Sukhoi-30SM, Sukhoi-35 and MiG-29 fighters of the
Russian Aerospace Group in Syria provided protection for the operation.
As he reviewed the statistics of air strikes made over the past
three days Konashenkov said that Tupolev-22 bombers hit Islamic State
terrorists in the east of Syria eighteen times. The submarines The Veliki
Novgorod and The Kolpino, currently in the Mediterranean, launched nine cruise
missiles Kalibr. Source: tasscom
