Es wird Zeit für einen neuen Sammelthread zum russischen Einsatz in Syrien und zum Kampf gegen ISIS (oder eben doch nicht?) Der russische (staatlich finanzierte) Auslandssender RT (ex-Russia Today) hat als bislang erstes Medium Zugang zum Luftwaffenstützpunkt der Russen in Latakia/Syrien bekommen:

Nach den Worten des Vorsitzenden des Auswärtigen Ausschusses der Duma, Alexej Puschkow, erwartet Russland einen Einsatz von drei bis vier Monaten. So sagte Puschkow es dem französischen Sender Europe 1.

Nachtrag: Gemeinsame Erklärung von Deutschland, Frankreich, Katar, Saudi-Arabien, der Türkei, Großbritannien und den USA (interessanterweise fehlt Australien, die ja auch Angriffe gegen ISIS fliegen):

We, the Governments of France, Germany, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Kingdom and United States of America state the following in view of the recent military actions of the Russian Federation in Syria:
We express our deep concern with regard to the Russian military build-up in Syria and especially ‎the attacks by the Russian Air Force on Hama, Homs and Idlib since yesterday which led to civilian casualties and did not target Da’esh. ‎
These military actions constitute a further escalation and will only fuel more extremism and radicalization.
We call on the Russian Federation to immediately cease its attacks on the Syrian opposition and civilians and to focus its efforts on fighting ISIL.
