My thoughts precisely.

How far are they from Har Megiddo again?

Hopefully Russian aircraft pound these guys and the people who provided them.

Taken in a remote area north of the city of Aleppo, the photographs show fighters from the Free Syrian Army assembling FN-6 anti-aircraft missile launchers for use against soldiers loyal to the Assad regime.

More likely launched against anything in the air with Assad's pilots being the fewest and least likely targets.

And how will these jihadis decide if the jet is a friendly US F-16? Or a hostile Sukhoi?

They’ll learn from the youtube video of the Russians in Ukraine shooting down the Dutch airliner.

These are the Benghazi missiles Sid Blumenthal was brokering in the CIA annex warehouse. That is until they were stolen from the same.

Those Gulf states need some color revolutions. Given their essential effeminacy, chartreuse, cerise, and aubergine would be good names.

The Chinese-made weapons are thought to have been provided to the Free Syrian Army by sympathisers in Qatar,

If they shoot down any Russian aircraft I'll bet Putin remembers that.

Also they look alot like stingers with limited range.

Specially designed to engage low flying targets, the FN-6 is considered China's most sophisticated surface to air missile launcher to date.

Using digital infrared technology, the FN-6 has a range of 3.7 miles and can lock on to and take out aircraft flying at an altitude of up to 2.1 miles
