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.

Vladmir Putin earlier warned Turkey of "significant consequences" after the Russian plane was shot down.

"Which side is Obama on?"


That is probably the best question I have ever seen on FR.

Let me explain, have you ever heard of man called Tom Fife? He was a business man who lived in California and did business in Russia back in the years of George Bush the second.

To see why your question is not only good, but insightful, go to http://www.christianpatriot.com/01-01-09to06-15-2009.htm and search for Tom Fife.

Perhaps obama got tired of taking orders from Putin? Maybe the press is holding his homosexuality over his head? Obama has so many skeletons in the closet that your question becomes almost impossible to do anything other than ponder and speculate on.

Thank you my friend, avoid big box stores, theaters and other soft targets on Thanksgiving Day.
