russian helicopter pilots killedMilitants shot down a military helicopter near Palmyra in Syria, killing two Russian pilots on board, Interfax news agency said, quoting Russia’s defense ministry.

The two men had been attacking a detachment of Islamic State fighters in the Homs region on Friday, when the Syrian Mi-25 helicopter they were in ran out of ammunition, the ministry said, according to Interfax.

“The turning helicopter was hit by militants’ gunfire from the ground and crashed in the area controlled by the Syrian government army. The crew died,” it added.

Video footage published on Saturday by Islamic State’s affiliated news agency Amaq showed a helicopter being shot and crashing to the ground against cries of ‘It’s fallen, God is greatest’.

Russian forces entered the conflict at the end of last year, backing the forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

    Someone bragged about “mighty” Russian army in comparison with the US, that was 3 days ago.

    “Don’t forget sub-marines, electronic warfare, ground-to-air defense systems and most importantly, that the US military weaponry is in general, outdated.”

    Reality strikes faster than expected.

    Is Russia’s only aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov steaming to Syria in order to collect the wreckage of the Mi-25 helicopter?

      It seems this helicopter got hit from its own missile. The missile malfunctioned and hit the tail of the helicopter. You may compare this incident with other similar type of malfunction from this video

      Putin leased 8 ships from Turkey to send their troops in Syria because they do not have enough ships! Now if this only aircraft carrier go down like Titanic then Putin will have a heart attack.

      Yes, that someone is me. Grow a pair and address me directly.

      Why bring up the US? Are you finally admitting that it is directly involved in arming and supporting the terrorists in Syria? Or are you, as usual, mumbling to mumble?

      It’s war, expect casualty from both side.
