The only thing is, Russia is not fighting ISIS but the rebels. Just this week, US wiped some high ranking ISIS officials in Syria, leaving the ground soldiers with their d*ck in their hands. Russia is fighting the rebels off Assad's back.

yeah ..NO. Not even the US with there Anti Russian agenda go as far as making such a ridiculous statement. Russia is fighting the rebels AND ISIS, mainly ISIS but they definitely are going after the rebels too many of which aren't much better than ISIS. Taking out high level officials is good for press releases and PR, it does very little in the actual war as even the US have stated ISIS work with many people trained to replace anyone so that no person is essential. Palmyra is ISIS, this is where current Russian strikes are centered it seems.

Russia is focusing on the NW part of Syria, where the anti-Assad rebels are, they are probably aiding ISIS behind the scenes more than they are hurting them with their scarce bombings on ISIS territory. They have no agenda in a war against ISIS whatsoever, they want to keep their foothold (in the form of Assad) there, not fight terrorists.
@OP - Cool story if true, but I personally think it's 100% bullshit. You remember that viral story about a group of Russians that attacked an immigrants' camp in Germany after a rape of a Russian girl? That story was totally fake, nothing like that happened. Russian propaganda in the West is very strong and we have to keep that in mind every time we hear such stories. I put this story firmly in the "PR-propaganda war" catalogue and don't believe this happened. I've heard way too many such BS stories meant to make Russians look like heroes, when in reality they were the scumbags and no part of the story was true.
