This was a rescue mission for the downed Russian pilots shot by Turkish fighters while over DISPUTED territory Turkey claims but Syria never recognized ( had to be a set up since their flight path would have them over that remote area for less than a minute)
who managed to limp back into and bail out over Syria,
then to be executed while parachuting by US backed FSA elements on the ground who used US supplied weapons to down the rescue helicopter and shoot at accompanying press
What a glorious day for John McCain
It will be a miracle if this does not expand to a global event.
May not have been FSA (ISIS by another name) as a Turkomen group is taking full credit for shooting the helpless pilots.
