Robert Farley. National Interest: 5 Russian Weapons of War ISIS Should Fear
While the Soviet Union may be no more, Moscow's forces could give the Islamic State a tough time.
As of last week, Russia may have decided to join the fight against ISIS. The deployment of Russian air and ground forces to Syria probably has more to do with the survival of the Assad regime (and by extension, the survival of Russian influence in the Middle East) than it does with stopping the ISIS horror show. Nevertheless, given the threat that ISIS poses to Assad, it seems likely that Russians will come into direct conflict with the armed fighters of the Islamic State.
So, what is Russia sending to Syria, and how might it affect the course of the battle against ISIS?
WNU Editor: The Mi-24 helicopter gunships and the SU-25 will be the weapons that the Islamic State should fear.

Swivel on it, Zionazi!
HA-HA-HA-HAAAAA!
Highly likely that the electronic device you used to post your silly comment was designed in Israel, that makes you a Zionist hahahah
Both the Mi24 and the Su-25 are in for trouble if the MANPAD proliferation is as bad as it's been reported over there. I'd say especially for the Hind.
