“The Russian state news agency TASS reported that a Russian IL-20 military aircraft with 14 personnel on board disappeared over the Mediterranean on Monday.”

Just hope it had 14 Russian Generals on board!

Interesting thought.

The Russian missiles were produced to provide jobs. Syria is a market where the missiles can be sold to produce the cash to pay the wages of the Russian workers.

Where does the Syrian money come from? Does Russia agtually get paid or are they reverting to the Soviet way and accepting IOU’s?

Israel also holds Iran and the Hezbollah terror organization accountable for this unfortunate incident.

2017:

A veteran of the Cold War and a recent participant in Russian operations off Syria has been sent to the bottom of the Black Sea by a boat full of sheep. The 47-year-old Russian intelligence collection ship, the Liman, sank on April 27 after a collision in the Black Sea with a Togo-flagged livestock carrier carrying sheep from Romania to Jordan. The sheep-carrying Youzarsif H suffered only slight damage to its bow, but the Liman suffered a rupture in its hull below the waterline.
