There'll be a two-fold motivation for this latest move.

1. Putin's penchant for creating a drama (whilst reminding us that the Northen Fleet is now effectively a floating Naval scrapyard)

2. They want to test out the new ground targeting system they've just started fitting to the SU33 which is their primary aircraft based aircraft of which they don't have that many. I guess is better than flinging dumb bombs all over the place. Either that or it'll allow them to bomb civilians more accurately (if it actually works)
