Isis are far too spread out to just 'nuke' them.

It's cheaper and more effective to just use drones and pick out clusters of targets, with Iran and kurds pointing out where they are on the ground.

I'd imagine they'd just stick to the red zones: 

 

Still civvies, still religious and historical artifacts. ISIS members have kids too and they'd wanna minimise the deaths of them even though they know they probably can't.

But ISIS aren't a global super power with a huge arsenal. There weapons are those leftover from previous wars and funding from oil & Arabs, they aren't a threat to Russia, so it makes more sense for russia to find targets and take them out one-by-one.
