But maybe you're confusing Russian air strikes on Syrian rebel fighters and on hospitals?

The Washington Times has reported that since October, US airstrikes have dealt a significant blow to ISIS’s financing. The airstrikes, dubbed Operation Tidal Wave II, oil fields, banks, and cash houses were hit. US intelligence estimated that the operation has cost the group between $300 and $800 million in financial losses.

Islamic State
In October, the Atlantic's Kathy Gilsinan tried to estimate how many Islamic State fighters had been killed in coalition actions since fall 2014, relying on a figure of 20,000 that had been leaked to USA Today. The independent site Airwars has a running tally, that as of writing stands at 23,000.
Gilsanin also points to an interesting quote from Rear Admiral John Kirby in January of this year. Asked how many Islamic State fighters had been killed, Kirby replied, "First of all, we don't have the ability to -- to count every nose that we shwack [sic]. Number two, that's not the goal. That's not the goal. The less of these guys that are out there, certainly that's the better, but the goal is to degrade and destroy their capabilities."
Total terrorists schwacked: 23,000
