Unconfirmed....the Russia aircraft had a history of technical problems prior to this flight, but it appeared also to be an engine issue that does not rule out a SAM hit.
Will wait to see how this plays out..........

Fake? or not?
IS has been operating in the area......configuration of the aircraft does appear to be an Airbus 320 series---might have in fact been returning due to an emergency call by the pilot and then hit by a SAM????
Sinai: don't want to speculate to much but Ansar Bait al-Maqdis DOES have manpads.
