rt.com are saying that the reports on Twitter that a Ukranian helicopter has been shot down are fake as the pics are actually from Syria last year.

Sounds like what used to happen when the road runner ran off the cliff. He would hover there. For a second....

“I expect they were instructed to scare the rebels. If ground fire brought an aircraft down, they’ll probably send ground troops to take the airport rather than risk bombing it into rubble.”

Twitter pics show smoke rising from several locations, and state the airport was bombed.

well if it is Tass then it must be right ;)

TASS stands for T(elegrafnoye) A(genstvo) S(ovetskovo) S(oyuza) - aka Telegraphic Agency of the Soviet Union. Isn't it kind of weird that the Russians haven't changed the name of the news agency? Imagine if the Germans had kept using the Nazi-era name for their news agency, DNB (Deutsches Nachrichtenbüro).

As follows from what the people say four fighter planes, presumably Sukhoi-27 were hovering over Kramatorsk

Hovering? The Sukhoi-27 is a pretty decent aircraft... but they hover??? Really?

I’m still trying to figure out how they got an Su-27 to hover ... o.O

They can hover, but only for about 1 or 2 seconds. After that.....

There are some truthful news organizations on the left? Rumor says there are some on the right but they do not receive coverage from the left. I would research my question but would be a waste of time. Thanks Dallas59 for stating a truth.

Its a bit of sarcasm considering that Pravda is their ‘official’ paper and means truth....
