"We have no doubt. Most US weapons destined for what they call "moderate Syrian opposition" reach terrorists. " This was stated a few minutes ago by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during an interview on the NTV television channel.

"This should make us think, like those 50 tons of small-caliber ammunition dropped in northern Syria from four C-17 planes on Sunday night. All ammunition for M-16 and AK-47, most of which will equip terrorists."

The 50 tons of material have been parachuted into the Al-Hasakah province, home to Syrian, Arab, and an Assyrian minority community.

Lavrov added - "No one told us where that 'moderate opposition' operates. Just like all the other organizations that told us they were allies and democratic: we found out that they collaborated with terrorists. It is possible that the United States does not understand that those 50 tons of ammunition will go totally to the Islamic State? They do nothing but refuse any kind of coordination with our army We are trying to open channels of communication with the humanitarian agencies of the United Nations in Syria, we need to coordinate our The Coalition has never responded to our proposals for cooperation ".

According to the Central Intelligence Agency, extremists would no longer be 30.000. Iraqi authorities, on the other hand, believe that the strength of the Islamic state is composed of 200.000 armed men.

The certain fact is that the Islamic State controls the 40% of the Iraqi territory and the 50% of the Syrian territory.
