"Moscow" will be able to cover the airfield near Latakia from airstrikes S-300M and "Osa-MA"

"After bombing FSA in Ltamenah, Russian planes targeted 1hour ago HQ of Nusra (AlQaeda in Syria), btwn KhanShaykhun & Muqah, 15km from Ltamenah" - Cut snakes head.

"HQ Nusra is underground, also includes hisbah office (religious police) & a jail. Some prisoners wounded in strike, others escaped." - Religious police by poor moderate rebels, wut?

"My source in ISIS-city AlBab: "Now panic here. Shops close down. ISIS-fighters less visible on streets. Last 3 strikes inside city" - Good.

"My source in ISIS-city AlBab: "Water company also hit & next to ISIS-recruitment center. Again, I don't know who is bombing us at moment." - Want me to tell you?

"My source in AlBab: "operators of 5 excavators r civilians forced by ISIS to build trenches. All 5 died in today's bombing." - Well shame.

The ageless buckwheat porridge with meat, a Russian military, and civilian, staple for centuries, some cucumbers for green, soup with spuds. Missing is the bread, another staple, but all and all good belly timber. Not gourmet but soldiers don't need that.

Hmm. Clean hands and nails, married, silver wedding band on the usual right hand, high water mark on the shirt. And smiling.

I would beg to differ on the "gourmet" thing. Sometimes a good tasty meal can bring up morals of soldiers more than anything in the field and to be honest never liked buckwheat porridge, tastes almost like nothing but of course among the easiest and most nutrious ways to provide meal without much costs or overall resources weighting on logistics.
