Your support makes all the difference.Russia has released more footage of military drills across the country as their involvement in Syria has now lasted over a month.
The Russian Ministry of Defence has released plenty of videos that show off the nation's military might, including the attachment of a Go-Pro to one of their jets.
On Friday, a nationwide exercise was undertaken in various locations across Russia that included the Caspian flotilla and ballistic missile launchers in the Astrakhan region.
