THE MIGHTY RUSSIAN WAR MACHINE:
Syrian airbase used by Russia damaged in Isis attack - report (Patrick Winotour, 5/24/16, The Guardian)
An entire Russian helicopter unit based in Syria was wiped out in an Islamic State attack, satellite images appear to suggest.The attack on 14 May targeted a strategically significant airbase in central Syria used by Russian forces, and again suggests Isis forces are trying to operate outside territory held by the terror group to undermine the regime of Bashar al-Assad.
