Thanks A Van,

Looks like the cruise missiles launched from the bombers were Kh-555s?

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's defense minister says Russian warplanes have fired cruise missiles on militant positions in Syria's Idlib and Aleppo provinces.

Sergei Shoigu also told a briefing conducted for President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday that bombers hit Islamic State positions in Raqqa and Der-ez-Zor.

Shoigu said the cruise missiles that hit the Aleppo and Idlib positions were fired from Tu-160 and Tu-95 warplanes.

"Tu-160, Tu-95MC and Tu-22 strategic bombers with standard strike aircraft are involved in destroying of terrorist targets in Syria," Shoigu said.

Was this some of the footage shown on Russian TV? The first part looks like genuine footage from the missions with the upload of bombs and missiles. The missile launch footage is stock footage from old videos.
