A top Iranian general has accused Russia of lying to Tehran by saying its jets were attacking Syrian rebels while they were instead bombing the open desert.

In a rare break from Iran's diplomatic line on Syria, Brig. Gen. Behrouz Esbati partially blamed Moscow for the fall of Bashar Assad's government during a speech at a mosque in Tehran.

So either Russia is lying (GASP!) or maybe they just have terrible aim and shit intel.

Could be both. A little from column A... a little from column B...

Iran found out that of all geopolitical partners on this planet, russia is the worst and has the shittiest of all armed forces.
