Russian soldiers scrawled messages on cruise missiles destined for Syrian ISIS targets, including “For Paris.”

The pilots also wrote “For ours” and “For our people” on some missiles before sending them to Syria, with targets including the Raqqa province where the terror group Islamic State has been frequenting recently.

Russia’s Defence Minister posted a video showing pilots writing the messages on the missiles.
