We do not beat on weddings and funeral processions. Each stroke is recorded flight recorder and unmanned aircraft - said the head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Lieutenant-General Sergey Rudskoy.
The statement was made at a press briefing in response to numerous reports in the West that the Russian Aerospace forces during anti-terrorist operations in Syria allegedly used outdated munitions have indiscriminate effects. And this leads to numerous victims among the civilian population, including in Aleppo Syria.
Aircraft aerospace Russian forces applied to single point strikes exclusively on pre-verified goals is the Syrian city of Aleppo and outside the areas of residential development, the general said Rudskoy. He also said that in Syria a multilevel intelligence system that provides reliable detection and defeat militants purposes. And it eliminates attacks against civilian objects.
Russian air operation in Syria against terrorists showed that our military used precision-guided weapons. This ensures that the air strikes are exclusively military targets militants. To date committed more than ten thousand sorties and destroyed more than thirty thousand objects terrorists. The fighting in Syria is deeply involved modernized Su-25SM. Aircraft equipped with a new sighting and navigation system "Leopard", and equipment for use with the GLONASS satellite navigation system. It is possible to achieve high precision shooting even unguided rockets and missiles use a laser seeker - Kh-25ML and Kh-29L.
If the Su-25 attack planes have extensive front-line experience, the Su-34 bombers were used in combat for the first time. It is the only aircraft in the world, combining the possibility of a bomber, fighter and interceptor. It can be used as a spy plane.
The Su-34 has a powerful radar with a phased antenna array, complex electronic reconnaissance, jamming and creating jamming. The Su-34 has an internal laser television-sighting system "Sycamore" to the bottom of the fuselage, which provides high accuracy as when using svobodnopadayuschih and corrected air bombs.
It is worth remembering that a group of Su-34 more October 1, 2015 destroyed the command post of the LIH, banned in Russia, and struck in the camp of training militants in Raqqa province. As a result, strikes bombers all the targets were hit.
The Su-34 is a laser sighting system "Sycamore", which provides high precision bombs
Already on October 2nd of the same year, using the corrected bombs, Su-34 destroyed another terrorist buried command post. A concrete-October 3 bombs BETAB-500, dropped from the Su-34, was completely destroyed by another secure command post of one of the groups of terrorists, as well as an underground bunker-fuel storage and munitions. In general, in October 2015 the Su-34 bombers struck by terrorist infrastructure is one of the most serious impacts of high-precision all-time performance of our aviation anti-terrorism mission in Syria.
In particular, October 15, in the province of Damascus was destroyed by anti-aircraft missile system "Osa", previously captured by terrorists "Islamic state" from the Syrian army. Such complexes are dangerous not only for the military, but also civil aviation, since the height of the actions of their missiles few kilometers. "Wasp" was in a well-protected concrete shelter. But guided aerial bombs KAB-500S was hovering right on target, destroying the solid walls of the shelter and destroyed a rocket launcher.
Against the most important and protected objects of the terrorists with the Su-34 are used particularly powerful polutoratonnye guided aerial bombs KAB-1500.
According to the Defense Ministry, as well as from public sources it is known that in Syria with the Su-34 aircraft used responsive bombs KAB-500S with satellite-guided KAB-500Kr with television-correlation seeker, KAB-1500LG-Pr with a penetrating warhead and a laser gyro-stabilized seeker.
The real surprise was the use of Russian military cruise missiles "Caliber". For overseas there was confidence that the high-precision cruise missiles with a range of more than a thousand kilometers in Russia simply does not have.
And when the grouping of the Caspian flotilla as part of a missile ship "Dagestan" and three small missile ships "Grad Sviyazhsk", "Great Ustyug" and "Uglich" from the region in the south-western part of the Caspian Sea produced launch 26 missiles on October 7, 2015 night 3M-14 "Caliber-NK" at a distance of over 1500 kilometers on 11 objects "Islamic state" in the three provinces of Syria - Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo, it has become a worldwide sensation. Objects missile strikes were factories for the production of projectiles and explosives, command posts, ammunition depots, weapons and fuel and lubricants, as well as terrorist training camps.
In the same part of the four ships of the Caspian Flotilla November 20, 2015 hit 18 missiles 3M-14 "Caliber-NK" on the 7 objects terrorists in the provinces of Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo.
Then start "Caliber" of various modifications were made to other ships, submarines and strategic bombers, submarines. And all of them were beaten to the point.
Of course, in any war, mistakes are possible, and even blows on her. There's even a term "losses from friendly fire." However, when it comes to Syria, it strikes at the civilian population and civilian objects simply excluded. Firstly, using only the most modern high-precision weapons and the most advanced aiming systems for unguided bombs and rockets. Secondly, strikes are only after a thorough investigation and follow-up exploration. In Syria, our military is not seven times, measure before the strike, but seventy-seven, checking their intelligence with data derived from other sources.
If Russian weapons to beat "in milk", and even more so in the civilian population, would not there have been very serious changes in the global arms market. Assessing the use of Russian military equipment and a wide variety of weapons in a real war, arms importers in the world have turned to Russia. The price of our arms, and literally and figuratively took off. Naturally, this could not cause a corresponding reaction in the US and Europe, who considered themselves the most important players on the world arms market.
