Turkmen forces claim they shot dead two Russian pilots
Turkmen forces in Syria claim they have shot dead the two pilots of a Russian fighter jet downed by Turkey near its border.
A deputy commander of a Turkmen brigade said the pilots were shot in the air as they descended with parachutes.
Alpaslan Celik, a deputy commander in a Syrian Turkmen brigade said: "Both of the pilots were retrieved dead. Our comrades opened fire into the air and they died in the air."
The commander was speaking near the Syrian village of Yamadi as he held what he said was a piece of a pilot's parachute. Last updated Tue 24 Nov 2015
Savages.
You mean the Muslims in this article I presume.
I am waiting for just one person to actually blame Putin for this, and I have not seen it yet..
You have a few Muslims on here who have.
No the terrorists shooting parachuting uniformed personnel is a violation of the Geneva Convention.
From http://www.redcross.org/images/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m3640104_IHL_SummaryGenevaConv.pdf
Arts. 12, 18
This Convention mandates that parties
in battle take all possible measures
to search for, collect and care for
the wounded, sick and shipwrecked.
“Shipwrecked†refers to anyone who is
adrift for any reason, including those
forced to land at sea or to parachute
from damaged aircraft.

Well if you want to go to war with Vlad that’s definitely the way to light it off.
Well if that’s the case, then it’s hard for me to choose between Russian apologists, and muzzies...
I’m still thinking about it.
Then I put you in the column with jihadis. There, I made the choice for you. Now go pray to your death god.
Erdogans Turkey should not be in NATO.
You sir, are a buffoon...
You are a Muslim apologist.
The Russian Caspian Sea squadron will soon have new Turkmen targets for its cruise missiles.
Go away nube.....Like a fly, you are a irritant.
How very ...Muslim...of them.
I maybe a nube but I know not to side with jihadis. Let me know when you worked that out.
