Russian airstrikes forcing IS militants out of Aleppo province

Successful pinpoint airstrikes delivered by the Sukhoi Su-24M bombers of Russia’s Aerospace Forces have cut off the Islamic State (IS) militants from the last source of supply and force the IS field commanders to move their troops out of the Syrian province of Aleppo in the coming days, Chief of the General Staff of the Syrian army Ali Abdullah Ayyoub said on Monday.

According to him, radio communications intercept data collected in Syria’s five provinces from Latakia to Deir ez-Zor suggest that there is confusion within the ranks of the IS warlords. The generalised reconnaissance data confirm the correctness of determining the coordinates for Russian airstrikes and accuracy of the pinpoint strikes delivered by the Russian aircraft.

"The most common phrase used by the IS terrorists during the [Russian] air group’s raids, is "damarati-l mahazin," which means in Arabic "depots destroyed," said the Chief of the General Staff of the Syrian army. "The word "kasfun," meaning "they are bombing" is used like a call sign in the militants’ radio communications, which more than thirty times is replaced by the "damarati-l mahazini" phrase," he said.

  • Ali Abdullah Ayyoub said that radio intercepts have confirmed that the militants are experiencing acute shortage of ammunition for small arms and artillery. Some field commanders during radio communications have demanded from their leadership to urgently replenish the ammunition supplies.

"The "nafidati-l zahair" ("ammunition ended") phase has been pronounced more than 20 times in [the militants’] radio exchanges over the past 24 hours from the northern bank of the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean coast," he said.
