BBC said this development came after Syrian President Assad officially requested military assistance from Russia.
RT reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said that "preemptive strikes is how you fight terrorism."
"Despite its name, Islamic State has little to do with the religion of Islam. Radicals from many countries of the world, including Russia, have flocked to Iraq and Syria to join the terrorist group. They must be defeated there and not allowed to return to their home countries with battle experience and ideology adopted in the war zone," the president said.
He added it would be "good if other nations joined the anti-terrorist fight of Russia in Syria."
The civil war has been ongoing in the Middle Easter country for four years, with armed rebel groups fighting against the army of the Assad regime. Among them is the terrorist organization Islamic State.
Earlier on Wednesday - a day after Putin spoke at the UN to express a stance on the situation in Syria opposite to that of his U.S. counterpart Barack Obama - the Russian Federation Council authorized air strikes in Syria.
Russia previously announced it could join the air strike campaign with UN's approval, but ruled out any ground intervention.
At the same time, the Pentagon confirmed it will be in communication with the Kremlin in order to exchange information on the air strikes.
Beside Russia and the United States, air strikes are currently being carried out in Syria by France and the United Kingdom.
If it did it'll be only because the "brave" ISIS fighters are taking shelter among women and children.

Ah, OK, I see how it works. Then if some Serbian civilians were killed when NATO bomber Serbia in 1999 it was only because the "brave" Serbian military was using civilians or civilian infrastructure as shelter for military activities.

LK/ p.r.k : “Hopefully moderate opposition have the most advanced anti-aircraft weapons. Can't wait till more Russian planes are shot down since they are refusing to attack ISIL.”
МУДАК ТАКАЯ !
It’s been second time that you seek for some imaginary “moderate opposition” ! Where have you seen it in Syria ? After 4 years of the war all forces are radicalized and there are no more civilized forces there other than Assad’s army and the Kurds !
Besides none of the planes was hit down and most likely won’t be hit in the weeks to come. Despite only 4 more or less modern bomber-fighters were sent there.
(rote, 1 October 2015 10:05)
LK : Unfortunately, Russian forces are not targeting ISIS, but more moderate Syrian opposition groups. Already dozens of civilian casualties from Russian bombs, including many children.
P.S. – 1 What “moderate Syrian opposition groups” do you mean ? The ones that cut out hearts of the Syrian soldiers and eat them in front of the cameras ? Just tell me a couple of such groups that did not mud themselves with blood ! Officially the US spent USD 500 000 000 to train such groups and only 5 (five !) men are fighting the terrorists now ! Otherwise the US spent USD 100 000 000 to train each one of them. Unfortunately other 10 000 didn’t flew to Europe but joined the IS and Nusra. It was happening for almost a year and they flew not in one day. But the US kept on training them knowing that they will join the bandits. So did Turkey.
P.S. – 2 Yesterday not only Russia but also America made airstrikes. So how do you know that the casualties were caused by the Russians ? Especially knowing that the news came from the US sponsored terrorists and became public through the western media ? It’s a war machine and they are paid to mud Russia no matter what we do or not.
P.S. – 3 America is bombing Syria for almost a year and there are no positive results of such bombings. So give Russia a month before you can judge us so strictly. If within a month the situation of the fronts changes for better we’ll be able to say something about Russia and the 12 months of NATO bombings.

I, too, gave Rocky a big "+". And I hope, the Hell did not froze over because it ( = the Hell) desperately needs the ISIS leadership.
If you do not know: ISIS leadership does it's cruel business for business. All their business, including fooling young guys into suicide bombings or the beheadings is sharply $ - calculated as a business undertaking.
ISIS leadership does not deserve bombing - it's a big mercy on them. They want to become a Caliph? There is my verdict.
They should seat on melting Caliph's throne, holding a melting caliph sword and being eaten alive by their family members while being grilled to death. If afterlife exists, that process should be continued for eternity in the hell.

Three Russian jets have been reported shot down, but not before killing 37 women and children. Hopefully moderate opposition have the most advanced anti-aircraft weapons. Can't wait till more Russian planes are shot down since they are refusing to attack ISIL. We all know Putin's true intentions are to keep Assad in power, nothing more. Expect to see Russian cities attacked in response to Syrian civilian casualties.

How do you know all this after several hours from the strike ? Was it CNN or Fox or Wikipedia ? Any war brings more casualties among the civilians like it was during still unavenged Storm Operation. But I hope Russia will be carefully cutting ISIL’s balls off. And what is important we shall control where the NATO bombs fall. Too often their “friendly fire” was hitting Kurds and anti-terrorist army. You are at a loss I know because you don't know whom to suck for the time being. But don't be panic as BBC or Washington Post will soon help you.

Leonidas : "their monarcho-fascist best mates Saudi-Arabia & Qatar"
Exactly ! Just think about - ISIL was grown up by Qatar while the Godfather of Jabhat an-Nusra is the S.Arabia. Both are US lackey. They coordinate every step with the USA including crude oil prices. Especially the microscope Qatar financing everything the Yankees say. Remember Qaddafi and Saddam … Besides the US Army’s regional headquarters is also located in Qatar. So should the US wish to stop the war they could simply make a couple of phone calls to Doha and Er-Rhiad. No need to bomb anybody. If they only mean it. And of course we all remember how the bombings the air supplies were happening when half of the strikes were aimed at the Kurds as well as only half of the air supplies. So since today 4 states (USA, Turkey, Qatar, Saudistan) will have big problems. Russia is not only to bomb the terrorists but to control the strikes of Australia , France and Britain and their chief. Russian TV reports that the Allevites are very encouraged by the news. Soon we can expect that under the request of Assad Iran will also be engaged. I personally have no euphoria about our involvement but I definitely feel some relief. There’s always a moment after which any war develops under it’s own logics. Also Russia must test it new armaments and obtain a 21-st century war experience and maybe it will refresh NATO hawks.

At last we’re seen a legal activity carried out in Syria, Russia intervening and helping the UN recognised government of the country to defend itself against violent attacks backed by a range of proxy-way outside forces, including the US,France,UK,Turkey (bombing the Kurds) and their monarcho-fascist best mates Saudi-Arabia & Qatar. Perhaps the Russians could do a favour to humanity by going a bit further and take out the terrorist governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar

I must say, I have to give Russia my support on this one!
Spatznaz special forces have acquired a lot of battle experience in Afghanistan during the 1980s, and isis should be a walk in the park for Russian supremacy given it has the support of Iran Syria & Iraq on this strategy! I would like to see the US coordinate airstrikes & limited ground strikes with Russian forces as to eradicate this ultra extremist terrorist group called isis, they have shown the entire civilized world what they are capable of if left unchecked! And Putin has a point here also, which country would really like to have these extremists returning back to their native country's,? isis and all of its remnants should be completely eradicated on the soil they are now occupying, their should be their eternal resting place & send their souls to hell so as to meet their 70 virgins ASAP!!!
