In December last year President Vladimir Putin signed an order to expand the naval base at Tartus and allow Russian warships into Syrian waters. Russian submarines used in the region are covered from Syria by Moscow's S-300 and S-400 missile systems and its Bastion coastal defence system.
As the Syrian Arab Army continues to make rapid progress in liberating remaining parts of Deir ez-Zor still under ISIS occupation, Russia is using its ultra-modern weaponry to pound ISIS fortification in the region.
The Russian Defence Ministry has just confirmed the use of seven high powered Kalibr cruise missiles to hit ISIS fortifications. The missiles were fired from two submarines in the eastern Mediterranean.
The strikes which have been reported as attaining 100% accuracy have hit ““control centres, communication hubs, militant weapons and ammunition warehouses in ISIS-controlled areas in southeast Deir ez-Zor”.
The subs deliver their precision missiles to their ISIS targets.
BONUS FEATURE

The Best Definition of Donald Trump We Have Found
In his zeal to prove to his antagonists in the War Party that he is as bloodthirsty as their champion, Hillary Clinton, and more manly than Barack Obama, Trump seems to have gone “play-crazy” -- acting like an unpredictable maniac in order to terrorize the Russians into forcing some kind of dramatic concessions from their Syrian allies, or risk Armageddon.However, the “play-crazy” gambit can only work when the leader is, in real life, a disciplined and intelligent actor, who knows precisely what actual boundaries must not be crossed. That ain’t Donald Trump -- a pitifully shallow and ill-disciplined man, emotionally handicapped by obscene privilege and cognitively crippled by white American chauvinism. By pushing Trump into a corner and demanding that he display his most bellicose self, or be ceaselessly mocked as a “puppet” and minion of Russia, a lesser power, the War Party and its media and clandestine services have created a perfect storm of mayhem that may consume us all.— Glen Ford, Editor in Chief, Black Agenda Report
