Russian troops in Syria. One year later

More than a year has passed since September 30, 2015, when our t aircrafts delivered first airstrikes against terrorist groups in Syria. Summing up the results of the military operation it can be considered as unprecedented now. But it was unfortunately prolonged mainly because of the Americans and their allies, saying they are in war with the jihadists, but in fact assisting them and supplying arms. Despite the fact that the operation is carried out outside the Russian Federation, in unknown and very tough terrain, its organization was very well coordinated.
Russian troops not only provide direct support to the government forces, but also destroy the communication and jihadists supply system, so their illegal oil trade now completely stopped, cutting the main financial income. It destroyed the entire system of militants training.
Now intimidation actions in form of massive and barbaric executions of prisoners performed by terrorists , much less occurred. Air retaliation Operations calmed jihadists; it is not the proper time for them posing on camera with their new beheaded victims.
Operation in Syria served as a proving ground for testing new types of Russian weapons.

Without exaggeration the launches of Navy cruise missiles and Caliber submarine-based missile system can be called as planetary scale furor. New types of ships and submarines, as well as their crews participating in the operation, also proved to be excellent. The effect of the new weapon systems has exceeded all expectations.
A special thanks to Russian military-industrial complex. A very few foreign modern aircrafts could withstand technically in such tough climatic conditions. But ours passed all tests perfectly.
In general, the whole system of the Russian Armed Forces -starting from Air Force and satellites to intelligence and military information have demonstrated a very high level of readiness. And it was a revelation to Western experts.
According to some reports, during the operation it about 2,000 militants- natives of Russia were destroyed. This means that the threat of jihadism has been eliminated on the territory of our country. And it l is one of the main purposes of the operation in Syria.
