Arsenal: Putin has an awesome array of firepower at his disposal in warplanes, missiles and state of the art tanks with thousands of military personnel deployed in the war on terror from the air and sea





  'The deadly arsenal Putin is using to pound ISIS in Syria'

    Syrian government forces backed by heavy Russian air support have driven Islamic State out of ancient city of Palmyra
    Assad supported by Putin has inflicted what the army called a 'mortal blow' to militants who seized the city last year and dynamited its ancient temples
    Putin is using Syria as a testing ground for a terrifying new generation of weapons
    His warplanes, missiles and tanks, smart bombs and satellite technology have already changed the landscape in Syria
    Russia claims to have destroyed 3,000 'terror' targets during 14 days of airstrikes at the beginning of February
    But it has also been accused of killing 1,000 civilians in the bombardment
