Moscow is preparing to beef up its aerial bombing campaign against ISIS targets in Syria in retaliation for the downing of a Russian jet over Egypt, security experts said.
ISIS militants sickeningly claimed 'credit' for the Metrojet A321 crash which killed all 224 people on board.
Investigators are still working on the black box data to determine what exactly caused the jet to crash, but intelligence sources increasingly believe it was triggered by an explosive device smuggled onboard.
And ISIS, which has established a base in Sinai province, tops the list of potential culprits.
Defence and security expert Raffaello Pantucci told media ISIS involvement in the plane tragedy would "only harden Russian resolve that they need to do something stronger".
