One month has passed since Moscow launched its military campaign against Takfiri terrorists under the request of the Syrian government.
The Russian air Force in cooperation with the Syrian Air Force, has carried out 1,391 sorties targeting sites for ISIL Takfiri group (so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Levant) and Nusra Front within this month.
SANA news agency quoted a military source as saying that sorties resulted in destroying 1,623 terrorist targets, including 249 command centers, 51 training centers, 35 workshops for manufacturing explosives and munitions, 371 fortified sites, and 786 camps and field bases.
The source noted that 291 of these sorties were carried out during nighttime.
The Russian airstrikes, which commenced on September 30th, have been carried out in a precise manner and did not claim any civilian lives, the source stressed, denying what the Western media have propagated in a bid to tarnish the image of the Russian campaign.
As a result of these airstrikes, ISIL and al-Nusra have lost any tactical initiative and have been forced to resort to defensive tactics after they suffered massive losses in their navigation systems, provisioning, vital command centers, communication stations, and infrastructure, the source said, according to SANA.
The source pointed out that with the support of the Russian airstrikes, the Syrian Arab Army mounted an offensive during the past three years in the provinces of Aleppo, Idleb, Lattakia, and Homs, during which it established control over 50 towns, villages, and neighborhoods, 19 of them in Aleppo province alone.
