FOX News: Russian jets bomb US-backed Syrian rebels after US told Russia to stop
The Russian Air Force bombed U.S.-trained rebels in southern Syria not once, but twice Thursday, and the second wave of attacks came after the U.S. military called Russia on an emergency hotline to demand that it stop, a defense official with knowledge of the attack tells Fox News.
"They came back and struck again," the official said about the Russians, visibly angry about the incident.
Russian Su-34 "Fullbacks" conducted the airstrikes, according to the official who said it was most likely a flight of two, the typical attack profile for the Russian Air Force in Syria. Su-34s are modern Russian fighter-bombers comparable to a U.S. Air Force F-15.
