Putin shows firepower in the war on ISIS
Several reports suggest that the Kremlin would be using Kh-101 cruise missiles, equipped with a warhead of 362 kilos that can fly up to 2,700 kilometers via satellite. The US-led offensive against ISIS in Syria has allowed Russia to demonstrate that it has sufficient resources to undertake a global scale attack.
