CNN: Russia’s Saying They’re ‘Much More Effective than the U.S.-Led Coalition’ Against ISIS

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SCIUTTO: "Let's now bring in senior international correspondent Matthew chance. Matthew, really incredible access what you got to see there. The Russians claim to be much more active than the Americans, much more aggressive than the coalition in strikes ISIS. Did you see that at the base there?"
CHANCE: "Yeah, well, they're saying they're being much more effective at the very least because they give this example, and I spoke to a senior Russian military commander here in Latakia in western Syria just yesterday. They're saying, look, for the past two years the territory controlled by ISIS and others as the groups in Syria expanded by dozens of times. In just three months since the Russians have been engaged in their air strikes conducting over 4,000 air strikes they've carried out since they began, that territory controlled by ISIS and other rebel groups they say has shrunk. Shows they're being much more effective and targeted and using the Syrian army to back them up and take advantage of the air strikes that they're carrying out with their warplanes. Essentially much more effective than the U.S.-led coalition."
