It was announced earlier (even on TV) that the targets for the previous two days would be oil infrastructures controlled by ISIS.
Well, IMHO it should have been the first targets when US & Co. started striking ISIS, but they were not.
It is well-known that ISIS is making some mln bucks per day by selling oil at half price. All the transportation routes are known, all the companies involved, bank accounts, beneficiaries, etc - everything is known. Why all involved are not being hunted for is not clear. FIFA bribes, US citizens hiding money in Swiss banks to cheat their revenue office - all are tracked and many are behind the bars, but not those buying ISIS oil and financing the terrorists. Strange...
So, dumb bombs were used by Tu-22M3s to destroy convoys of trucks transporting oil (parallel to tubes). It was said that there were up to 500 trucks used for that. Well, in this case dumb bombs (not heavier than 250 kg each) is an ideal weapon to cover a long stripe. The same for the pipelines and refineries - "process" all these are targets with expensive hi-prec weapons is just stupid.
Parallels with Dresden are inadequate. A dozen bombers are incomparable with what was used in the German skies on that day (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombin...n_World_War_II )
As for civilians, well, if you a truck driver working for ISIS you should accept the risk of being torn into pieces at any time. That's a war...
