A Look At Who Is Russia Targeting In Syria, And Who Is The U.S. Targeting (Map Of Air Strikes)

Washington Post: Mapped: Russian vs. U.S. airstrikes in Syria

Since Russia’s air campaign began in Syria, its strikes have been relegated primarily to territory held by groups other than the Islamic State, including moderate opposition fighters and Syria’s al-Qaeda affiliate—Jabhat al-Nusra, according to recently released data compiled by the Institute of the Study of War.

The Russian strikes, which have mostly been clustered in the western part of the country, have been mostly in tandem with a Syrian ground offensive that has pushed into opposition-held territory with infantry and tanks backed by Russian artillery and multiple rocket launch systems.
