"In recent years, Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and other extremist groups have organized the operations of the so-called 'pipeline on wheels' on the territories they control," Russian General Staff spokesman Colonel General Andrey Kartapolov said. Russian TU-22M3s bombing ISIS.jpg Hundreds of thousands of tons of fuel have been delivered to Iraq for processing by trucks and the revenue generated from these illegal exports is the one of the terrorists' main sources of funding, he said. The spokesman displayed images showing convoys comprised of hundreds of vehicles transporting oil to back his assertion. "In just the first few days, our aviation has destroyed 500 fuel tanker trucks, which greatly reduced illegal oil export capabilities of the militants and, accordingly, their income from oil smuggling," Kartapolov stressed. <https://youtu.be/WgYbiCGYy2c> Tanker strike video.jpg Extraordinary tanker-strike video (click to play) The spokesman also said that the Russian military has begun developing proposals for joint military action with the French Navy against the terrorists in accordance with an order by President Vladimir Putin. "This joint work will begin after the arrival of aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle to the Syrian shores," Kartapolov explained. Russia has been bombing Islamic State and other terror groups in Syria since September 30 at the official request of country's president, Bashar Assad. On Tuesday, Russia's fleet of 25 long-range bombers joined Su-34, Su-25, and Su-24M warplanes conducting operations in Syria to double the number of airstrikes against the militants.
