Russia had recently fired 26 missiles at 11 different Islamic state targets from warships in the Caspian Sea. This is a very big deal because Syria claims that these missiles have been hitting non Islamic State targets. Syria ground troops have launched an offensive against Russian air strikes because of this. Russia denies this saying they have been targeting and hitting all terrorists only. Russia and the free Syrian army have been in contact setting up a plan to fight IS and the other terrorist groups and prepare the ground for a political settlement. The United States is not backing Russia on this one as they believe they don't have the right strategy as they have been hitting non-terrorist groups and will continue to do so. Keep in mind that these missiles have to travel over Iraq and Iran and that itself is dangerous. The U.S. has already had one incident of one of our jets coming to close to Russian aircraft over Syria which is obviously why we are skeptical. I am interested to see how this place out within the next week or so.
