Reuters: U.S. warplane downs Syrian army jet in Raqqa province
A U.S. warplane shot down a Syrian army jet on Sunday in the southern Raqqa countryside, with Washington saying the jet had dropped bombs near U.S.-backed forces and Damascus saying the plane was downed while flying a mission against Islamic State militants.
A Syrian army statement released on Syrian state television said the plane crashed and the pilot was missing in the first such downing of a Syrian jet by the United States since the start of the conflict in 2011.
The army statement said it took place on Sunday afternoon near a village called Rasafah.

Not a single word from Kurds or SDF web pages on the Assad jet bombing their positions.
Instead both denounce the attacks from Turkey army and jet.
Washington habit of play two role in a comedy (or tragedy), drive more and more people every day to not believe them anymore.
