Russian military aviation in Syria has carried out nearly 4,000 combat missions, destroying more than 8,000 objects of military infrastructure belonging to terrorist groups operating in Syria, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said.
"In total, our military aircraft have flown about 4,000 sorties, destroying over 8,000 objects of military infrastructure belonging to the terrorists. As a result, Daesh militants have been significantly weakened," Shoigu said, speaking at a Defense Ministry Board meeting on Friday.
Since then, the Russian Aerospace Defense Forces, in coordination with ships of the Caspian Flotilla and the Black Sea Fleet Submarine 'Rostov-on-Don', have destroyed hundreds of militants and thousands of pieces of terrorist infrastructure.
