The Russian
Aerospace Forces operating in Syria continue to target the chief
source of income for Daesh (ISIL/ISIS) – the illegal oil production
and smuggling.
During
official briefing chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the
General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Sergei Rudskoy presented
numerous photos and videos depicting Daesh tanker trucks attempting
to smuggle oil into Turkey.
Attepmting
to evade Russian aircraft, the terrorists disguise tankers as
ordinary trucks and usually move their cargo during night.
“In
order to avoid losses to Russian aviation, the terrorists move [the
oil convoys] mainly at night. Moreover, their tanker trucks are
disguised as ordinary trucks, and move in small columns of several
dozen vehicles at a time,” Rudskoy said.
Russian
Armed Forces have revealed a new Daesh oil smuggling route: first the
trucks take the shortest route to Iraq, and from there head to
Turkey. Trying to escape Russian aviation's strikes, “terrorists
are changing their tactics and paving new oil smuggling routes,”
Rudskoy said.
