A Russian military helicopter has been shot down by rebels in Syria killing all five people on board, it has been revealed.
The aircraft, carrying three crew and two officers, crashed down in the Idlib province in north western Syria on its way home to a Russian airbase.
Gruesome pictures have since emerged showing what is believed to be the body of a Russian pilot being dragged through the dirt and loaded on to a truck.
It comes as mystery surrounded the discovery in the wreckage of an identification card showing a picture of a blonde woman. The image was found along with a haul of personal belongings of those inside, including Russian drivers' licences, passports and insurance cards, as well as Orthodox Christian icons.
Russia's Ministry of Defence said the helicopter was returning to the its main air base in the western province of Latakia following a delivery of humanitarian aid in war-torn Aleppo.
Two activist groups - the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Observatory and the Local Coordination Committees - say rebels shot down the Mi-8.

A lot of people very soon are going to regret this.
Those are the Syrian’s we are backing, no doubt.
The moderate Islamists.
Flashback to Somalia but Putin ain’t clinton.
Those people are ####ed!!! Good.
Save the Putinista nonsense. I know what he is.
We knew what Russia was during WWII but were glad to let them take on 120 German divisions.
Yup. My personal theory is that Islam is going to come to a sudden and screeching halt when they push either the Russkies or the ChiComs a step too far, and they in return turn Mecca into a field of green glass.
Ya gotta love moderate muslims.
Islam is a death cult and their dragging of the Russian body through the dirt is more proof of that. Muslims are aroused by dismemberment and blood. Brought to you by a Pedophile Prophet WHO MARRIED A 6 YEAR OLD GIRL. Okay, well he waited until she was 9 before he banged her. How sweet of him. DEATH TO ISLAM!
Drop a FOAB on every other street corner.
“A lot of people very soon are going to regret this.”
OTOH, a lot of people here who buy Big Media’s narrative that Russia isn’t fighting “ISIL” will be happy.
Russia’s ‘Blackhawk Down’ moment..........................
My God, that video is awful. Watching the -8 explode and hearing all the “Allah Akbars” defines Islam for me. What a savage, base, medieval, thug culture they are..
Yeah Buckeye,
I’ve been waiting for General Turdgeson, (played by George C. Scott) to blow that damned black rock to hell.
Or some patriot just like him.
That should have occurred before daybreak local time the day after sept 11 2001
Why would this Satanistic type behavior surprise anyone?
What? Did they moderately shoot down the helicopter and moderately defile the bodies?
“.. Islam is going to come to a sudden and screeching halt when they push either the Russkies or the ChiComs a step too far...”
.
The muzzies know who they can and cannot push around.
KGB Reportedly Gave Arab Terrorists a Taste of Brutality to Free Diplomats
JERUSALEM — The KGB has adopted novel, brutal and apparently effective methods of dealing with terrorists who attack Soviet interests in the Middle East, an Israeli newspaper reported Monday.ML/NJThe Jerusalem Post said the Soviet secret police last year secured the release of three kidnaped Soviet diplomats in Beirut by castrating a relative of a radical Lebanese Shia Muslim leader, sending him the severed organs and then shooting the relative in the head.
The incident began when four Soviet diplomats were kidnaped last September by Muslim extremists who demanded that Moscow pressure the Syrian government to stop pro-Syrian militiamen from shelling rival Muslim positions in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli.
The militiamen, the Jerusalem paper said, did not cease their attacks, and the body of one of the Soviet diplomats, Arkady Katkov, was found a few days later in a field in Beirut.
The KGB then apparently kidnaped and killed a relative of an unnamed leader of the Shias' Hezbollah (Party of God) group, a radical, pro-Iranian group that has been suspected of various terrorist activities against Western targets in Lebanon.
Parts of the man's body, the paper said, were then sent to the Hezbollah leader with a warning that he would lose other relatives in a similar fashion if the three remaining Soviet diplomats were not immediately released. They were quickly freed.
The newspaper quoted "observers in Jerusalem" as saying: "This is the way the Soviets operate. They do things--they don't talk. And this is the language Hezbollah understands."
Six Americans, missing for up to two years, are presumed to be kidnaping [sic!] victims in Lebanon.
Do you suppose humanitarian missions should use only defenseless helicopters without any armaments?
Beyond stupid...
Obama, Clinton and John McCain’s pals!
