What kind of shoddy site is this? Turkey shot down the Russian jet, not the rebels.
If you read it, it says they shot down the Russian rescue helicopter.
The claim is that the Syrian rebels shot at the rescue helicopter and also killed the pilot who was parachuting down.
They are trying to get picked up by ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN.
Turkish Aircraft shot down the Russian Jet. Turkish Rebels in Syria shot down the Russian Rescue Helicopter sent to retrieve the Russian pilots of the jet that was shot down.
The Turkish Rebels used American made TOW missiles furnished by the CIA.
Imprecise, but salient points remain.
Syrian rebels blew up (using an apparently US-supplied TOW) the rescue helicopter after it landed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-hT0winesc
What!!!! You don't believe that a TOW missile is capabble of taking down a high flying Russian bomber.
LOL. Actually I don't either. Several laws of physics problems with that idea. This is shoddy reporting in spades.
