Russia has blamed Israel for the downing of one of its military planes in Syria and threatened "retaliation." An Ilyushin IL-20 aircraft was shot down by Syrian air defense missiles in what has been called a "friendly fire" incident. The Russian defense ministry has claimed that Israeli jets were attacking nearby targets and purposely "used the Russian plane as a cover, exposing it to fire from Syrian air defenses."

That was a brilliant move by Israel, if true.

Israeli JETS, F-16s most likely, using a 40 year old PROP PLANE as cover?

Just so everyone knows:
If Trump had not been elected President: Iran would have staked total claim on Israel/Syria border and be setting the tone for the Middle East. Taking charge alongside Putin - and Israel left with no choice but to oblige. Trump/ Haley/ Pompeo's undeniably clear commitment to Israel's interests have changed the game completely.

Message to Russia: Do not screw with the Israelis.....or the Syrians will end up shooting down every aircraft Russia has in the zone.

They might be Russian military advisers. Wasn’t Syrians who shot down the MH17

The Russians and the Syrians are admitting to be the village idiots in this sad little play. Sad.

S-200, according the twitter feed.
My favorite story is about an SR-71 during the Six Day War.
Israel was tossing up US-built AA missiles at it. The Arab countries couldn't react fast enough, let alone know it was an aircraft.
The reason for the daily fly-over was to get daily info on what Israel's equipment replacement needs were, among other things. Probably including the missiles...
Three refuelings, maybe each way, round trip from Langley.

What were the Israeli jets supposed to do, put themselves in FRONT of the Soviet, err, Russian jets?

Assad is trying to drag Russia into, in my opinion. With the new truce, he was losing his position. HE shot the plane down knowingly while blaming Israel.
