Syrian Rebels Shoot Down Russian Rescue Helicopter Searching for Pilots of Downed Jet


Putin wants retribution for the loss of two Russian pilots at the hands of Turkey.  Putin will get retribution for the destroyed rescue helicopter that insurgent Syrians shot down, while attempting to retrieve the downed jet pilots.

A Russian rescue helicopter has been shot down by Syrian rebels while searching for pilots missing after Turkey downed a Russian jet.

The helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing in a government-held area in Syria’s Latakia province.

A Syrian insurgent group, which uses U.S. Tow missiles, said its fighters hit the helicopter with an anti-tank missile.

Video footage has emerged online appearing to show the helicopter after it crashed in dense woodland.

Plumes of smoke can be seen coming from the aircraft.

Putin said, “This event is beyond the normal framework of fighting against terrorism. Of course our military is doing heroic work against terrorism… But the loss today is a stab in the back, carried out by the accomplices of terrorists.
