After its passenger plane crashed under highly questionable circumstances yesterday, Russia Air Force has started dropping heavier bombs on ISIS targets.
Previously, they were only using high precision KAB-500 antibunker bombs. Now, they are shifting to KAB-1500 which is three times heavier and powerful than the former. Numbered suffix signify actual weight of the bomb.
So, this is how Vladimir Putin is responding to the Cabalist’s recent attack on its citizens.
Trick or Treat: Russia Delivers Powerful Bombs to ISIL’s Doorstep

TEHRAN (FNA)- Russian warplanes based near the Syrian city of Lattakia have reportedly used heavy laser-guided bombs to attack ISIL positions.
Russian Su-34 frontline bombers stationed at the Hmaimim air base near the Syrian port of Lattakia have used KAB-1500 guided bombs to destroy ISIL targets, RIA Novosti quoted Russian Aerospace Forces spokesman Igor Klimov as saying.
Accompanied by Su-30SM multi-role fighter jets, the Su-34 planes dropped the 1,500 kg bombs on ISIL targets in parts of eastern Syria controlled by the jihadist group. The Russian acronym KAB stands for “adjustable aircraft bomb” in English.
“The KAB-1500 guided bomb is known for its high accuracy. It is equipped with a laser seeker which helps to direct the bomb,” Klimov said.
The KAB-1500L-Pr version, fitted with a 1,100-kg concrete-piercing warhead, is designed for attacking reinforced concrete fortifications, runways and rail bridges.
The KAB-1500L-F version is equipped a 1,180-kg blast warhead for surface targets, such as military and industrial facilities.
According to Klimov, these KAB-1500 bombs can pierce through twenty meters of soil or a three-meter reinforced concrete ceiling.
On September 30, more than fifty Russian aircraft, including Su-24M, Su-25 and Su-34 warplanes, commenced precision airstrikes on ISIL targets in Syria at the behest of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Earlier that day, the Russian upper house of parliament unanimously supported the request of President Vladimir Putin to deploy units of the Russian Aerospace Forces abroad.
Syrian Ambassador to Russia Riad Haddad confirmed, for his part, that Syrian Army strikes, supported by the Russian Air Force, were carried out against armed terrorist organizations, not political opposition factions or civilians.
In the past thirty days, Russian military aircraft carried out total of 1,391 sorties in Syria, destroying 1,623 ISIL targets, according to the Russian Armed Forces’s General Staff.

I hope airstrikes continue even more heavily. long live putin, long live Russia
Well done Russia.Don’t stop bombing.Destroy Isis completely
.Dont spare any of these ruthless terrorists. World is behind you.
“Questionable circumstances” ? Where is the Western world demanding answers on this one. Especially the Americans ? Oh that’s right it was a Russian plane and if shot down where did the weapon and the training come from ? Anyone, anyone ???
Get some vladimir!!
good on russia. it is about time someone done something positive instead of sitting back like america and australia. it is surprising in my country australia how we are inadvertently supporting terrorism through the many items that are halal certified.
just because something is halal it doesnt mean its supporting terrorism. Halal is the way something is killed http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-27324224 i just think people shouldn’t have the perception that because someones a muslim and eat halal they are a terrorist its a slightly racial comment. Im not having ago at you either. And i totally agree on what russia are doing bomb them horrible evil beings! Any way get back to the bbq x
