    Double WOW...now......it "hit something".........

    @tass_agency
    The Mi-28N was flying a night mission and might have hit something during the flight

    Russian MoD has a real hard time admitting it simply got shot down end of story..but they cannot as it is one of the "prize" export models....

    No doubt #USAF-support for #FSA in northern #Aleppo to fight against #IslamicState is useless -all assaults shifted to the night time

    Update
    Rebel retook two towns, getting the entire Syrian-Turkish border of their area back under their control.

    How rebels are managing the multiple fronts with YPG/regime/ISIS/Iranian militias is beyond me, extremely fluid situ up there in #Aleppo

    Rebels recapture Hawar Kilis, Jarez & Yahmoul in N. Aleppo from #ISIS. 100s of families fleeing from Ikdeh however following capture by ISIS

    Castello road, Tal Musibin & Malah areas all under MLRS attacks by regime & co in addition to Russian airstrikes

    Aleppo Over a dozen airstrikes also targeted Handarat Camp & surrounding areas today

    Multiple Assad airstrikes targeted Houla, Talbisah & Deirfoul in #Homs this morning

    Rebels destroyed another #ISIS suicide VBIED on outskirts of Hawar Kilis village in north rural #Aleppo yesterday, no casualties reported

    At least 100 pro Assads dead in 4 days

    Hizbollah POW captured by Jabhat Al Nusra in Tal Eis: fight lead by Iranians, Hizbollah & aligned militias. No SAA.

    Patches from dead Shi'a in #Aleppo: "We are your slaves oh Zainab" & "Soldiers of the wilayah" (Iranian state).

    CrowBat.....hear anything confirming this???


    Source is usually well informed....as he plays tag from Raqqa with IS.....
    @Raqqa_SL

    Might be just bravado on their part...but they do have MANPADs.....and actually some good AA gunners and with the recent shot down this week of the SU22 who knows??

    BREAKING #ISIS Fighters say that they shot down a Russian Warplane in Mansoura west #Raqqa capture the two pilots

    Not sure if one or two pilots captured as the comments are varying.
    Legit Twitter accts are reporting that ISIS has shot down a jet over #Raqqa and have captured the pilot.


    Eliot Higgins ‎@EliotHiggins
    God help those Russian pilots if ISIS did capture them.

    @EliotHiggins NYT Moscow bureau chief hearing the same
    https://twitter.com/NeilMacFarquhar/...74608819240960

    claims it's *2* pilots which would limit what kinda jet it was.

    If ISIS did indeed down a Russian jet and capture two pilots as they claim, either an Su-24, Su-30, or Su-34. My money is on another Su-24.

    Nothing quote "official" from either IS or Moscow as to a possible downing....as of yet but a lot of "ground chatter" from field activists.

    Al-Masdar News
    ‏@TheArabSource
    #ISIS reportedly shot down Russian jet in northern #Syria
    http://bit.ly/1Yv6QtC

    Al-Jazeera claims a warplane crashed in the desert between #Raqqa and Tabqa controlled by #IS in #Syria

    If hoax...it is a good one....but the total silence on the Russian MoD side is interesting as they are usually quick in denying this to make sure it info war wise looks like a total IS faked story.....but still several hours into this report and still silence.....

    Russia'n Defense Ministry denies news of shot down warplane in #Raqqa.....took Russian MoD a long while to deny this...and it is not convincing.

    Another IRGC bites the dust......
