Russian
intelligence has spotted up to 12,000 tankers and trucks on the
Turkish-Iraqi border, the General Staff of Russia’s armed forces
has reported.
“The
[aerial] imagery was made in the vicinity of Zakho (a city in Iraqi
Kurdistan), there were 11,775 tankers and trucks on both sides of the
Turkish-Iraqi border,” Lieutenant-General Sergey Rudskoy told
journalists on Friday.

“It
must be noted that oil from both Iraq and Syria come through this
[Zakho] checkpoint,” General Rudskoy said.
Heavy-duty
trucks loaded with oil continue to cross the Turkish-Syrian border as
well, Rudskoy said. At the same time, the number of tankers on the
northern and western routes used for transporting oil from Syria is
declining, the general added.
“According
to satellite data, the number of oil tankers moving through the
‘northern route’ towards the refinery in the [Turkish] city of
Batman has considerably diminished,” Rudskoy said, adding that the
number of tankers using the ‘western route,’ between the Turkish
cities of Reyhanli [on the Syrian border] and the city of Iskenderun,
has decreased to 265 vehicles.
The
Russian Air Force in Syria has destroyed about 2,000 tankers used by
the Islamists for oil transportation. In the last week, Russian
warplanes eliminated 17 convoys of oil tankers and a number of
installations used by terrorists for oil extraction and processing.
The
Russian Air Force’s effective strikes in Syria have forced the
terrorists to look for new routes for crude oil transportation.
Today, tankers loaded with oil in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor province,
under Islamic State control, are moving towards the Iraqi border in
the direction of Zakho and Mosul.
“However,
despite a considerable diversion, the finishing point of the
trafficking route remains Turkey,” Rudskoy said.

airbase in Latakia since September 30, at the request of the Syrian
authorities.
