Additionally, the Russian Navy urgently purchased eight cargo vessels from Turkish ship operators. The vessels were registered as support ships with military status because regular Russian warships could not carry the load.

On September 30, Russia began precision airstrikes on Islamic State (ISIL) militant group positions in Syria at the request of President Bashar Assad.

According to the Defense Ministry, from September 30 to October 22, Russian jets conducted 934 sorties from Hmeymim airbase and destroyed at least 819 ISIL targets.
