The video shows Su-33 and MiG-29K naval warplanes in action, striking key militant targets including bases, convoy movements, positions and logistical centers throughout Syria.

During its brief deployment to Syria, the Admiral Kuznetsov reportedly carried out over four hundred combat missions, striking around 1,200 enemy targets.
