The Russian defense ministry expressed astonishment over the US statements which claim that the American administration is unable to see how the Syrian oil is smuggled into Turkey by ISIL, considering that they follow double standards.

The Russian defense ministry also note that its warplanes have detected the US drones flying over the smuggling routes on the Syrian-Turkish border.

The Russian warplanes continued on Saturday targeting the terrorists' positions in the various Syrian provinces, inflicting heavy losses upon them.

Russian warplanes have destroyed 12 fuel pump stations, 8 oil fields and oil and gas facilities; as well as more than 170 extremist-owned tanker trucks in a week, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesperson Igor Konashenkov said on Friday.
