This is the Russian jet pilot who survived being shot down by the Turkish army and was rescued in a dramatic 12-hour military operation earlier today.

Captain Konstantin Murahtin had been taken by rebel forces, and was saved by Russian military in an all-night joint operation with Syrian government forces, and taken to a Russian air base.

His co-pilot Lieutenant Colonel Oleg Peshkov has been confirmed dead, reportedly shot by Syrian Turkmen rebels as he parachuted out of the flaming wreckage of their Sukhoi SU-24.

WNU Editor: Russian news websites are not showing the faces of the two who were killed or the one who was saved .... but the Daily Mail (somehow) got them.
