ABC News: Inside the 12-Hour Operation to Rescue the Downed Russian Pilot
The Russian Defense Ministry released details today about the 12-hour operation its military conducted to rescue a fighter pilot shot down by Turkish forces inside Syria yesterday.
According to a timeline released by Lt. Gen. Sergei Rudskoy, the attack on the Russian warplane came at 10:24 a.m. Moscow time Tuesday, when a Turkish F-16 fired a “homing short range missile” that downed the Russian Sukhoi Su-24 as it was conducting a combat sortie over Syria. The Russians have denied that the aircraft crossed into Turkey, a claim Turkish authorities dispute. Rudskoy said that the Sukhoi was never warned to leave the area before it was shot down. Turkish authorities said the Russian jet was issued 10 warnings over a 5-minute period to turn away.

WNU Editor: When I first heard of the reports that the plane went down in rebel controlled territory, coupled with rebels shooting at the Russian pilots after they had parachuted .... I thought for sure that both were dead. Everyone who is in fighting in Syria knows that if they are captured, they will be tortured and executed for a YouTube audience. As it turned out .... he got lucky. Correction .... very lucky.

Dont spread lies mn, try to be honest. I know that the cossacks cant be, but at least try since now you are in a civilized country.
FSA (in a large part) dont dont torture and execute p.o.w. Most of them are used in exchange of prisioners that Assad holds. Nursa yes, the same as Assad regime, Daesh, Russia in Chechenia, etc.
The World: "FSA, oh FSA. Where are't thou FSA?"
