“We combine these leaflet drops with very low altitude passes of some of our attack aviation, which sends a very powerful message,”Army Col. Steve Warren, a spokesman for Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve, said in Wednesday from Baghdad during a
teleconference at the Pentagon. The leaflet drop was more evidence of the pains taken by the U.S. in air tasking orders to avoid civilian casualties through “precision weaponry” and the use of intelligence assets in contrast to indiscriminate Russian airstrikes with “dumb bombs,” Warren said. However, Col. Warren said at the Pentagon briefing that communications between the U.S. military and Russia were minimal and he scoffed at the Russians’ “antiquated tactics” that he said took no regard for civilian casualties. “As far as what the president said, you know, certainly I’m aware of what the president said,” Warren said. “We right now here on the ground are not in any type of communications or coordination with the Russians” and have no plans to do so, he said. “So that’s something that’s being worked at a higher level,” he said. “We don’t have a great read on the civilian casualty piece” from the Russian airstrikes, Warren said, but “the Russians are using dumb
bombs. Their history has been both reckless and irresponsible,” he said.
