* Turkish army has shot down a Russian Sukhoi Su-24 war plane near its Syrian border, officials confirm
* The Russian jet had violated Turkish air space and ignored ten warnings in five minutes, army says
* Putin called Turkey's decision to shoot down the plane a 'stab in the back by the terrorists' accomplices'
* Russia claims the jet, which crashed in Syria's Turkomen Mountains, had been in Syrian airspace when it was hit
* In response, Turkish army released flight tracking data showing where the jet violated its airspace
* One pilot dead, the other reportedly captured by Turkmen - ethnic Turks subjected to Russian airstrikes this week
A video showing Syrian insurgents chanting 'Allahu Akbar' over the dead body of one of the pilots of the Russian jet shot down by Turkey this morning, has emerged shortly before a separate rebel group blew up a Russian helicopter searching for the surviving soldier.
Footage reportedly filmed by rebels in Syria's Turkomen Mountains, an area which has been the cause of recent tensions between Turkey and Russia, sees local anti-government fighters celebrating and cheering as they discover the body of the pilot.
The Russian two-pilot Sukhoi Su-24 jet was shot down by F-16 fighter planes on Tuesday morning, after it violated Turkish airspace and ignored nearly a dozen warnings by the army, Ankara military officials said.
