MOSCOW, February 3. /TASS/. A Su-25 fighter jet of the Russian Aerospace Force was shot down by militants in Syria on Saturday, the pilot ejected but was killed later by terrorists, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
"On 3 February 2018, a Russian fighter jet Su-25 crashed when flying over the Idlib de-escalation zone. The pilot was able to report ejection from an area controlled by Jabhat al-Nusra militants (the terrorist group banned in Russia - TASS)," the defense ministry said. "The pilot was killed while fighting against terrorists."
"According to preliminary information, the jet was brought down with a portable anti-aircraft missile system," it added.
"The Russian center for reconciliation of warring sides in Syria alongside the Turkish side, responsible for the Idlib de-escalation zone, are taking steps to retrieve the Russian pilot’s body," the ministry said.
Earlier reports said that Syrian governmental forces were fighting against Jabhat al-Nusra units in the Idlib province.
In accordance with an agreement by Russia, Iran and Turkey - the guarantors of the Syrian ceasefire - de-escalation zones were set up in Syria in May 2017. De-escalation zones include the Idlib Province, some parts of its neighboring areas in the Latakia, Hama and Aleppo Provinces north of the city of Homs, Eastern Ghouta, as well as the Daraa and al-Quneitra Provinces in southern Syria.

MOSCOW, February 3. /TASS/. Massive high-precision weapons strikes have been delivered at targets in the area, from which a missile from the man-portable air-defense system (MANPADS) was launched to bring down the Russian Su-25 fighter jet, 30 militants of the Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist group (banned in Russia) have been killed, Russia’s Defense Ministry said on Saturday.
"A series of high-precision weapons strikes has been delivered on the area controlled by the Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist group, from which a MANPADS missile was launched at the Russian Su-25 jet," the ministry said adding that "according to radio intercepts, more than 30 Jabhat al-Nusra militants were killed."
Earlier in the day, the Russian Defense Ministry said a Su-25 fighter jet was brought down from a portable anti-aircraft missile system over the Idlib de-escalation zone. The pilot managed to eject but was killed later while fighting against terrorists.
The Russian center for reconciliation of warring sides in Syria has teamed up with Turkish counterparts, responsible for the Idlib de-escalation zone, trying to retrieve the Russian pilot’s body, according to the ministry.
Earlier reports said that Syrian governmental forces were fighting against Jabhat al-Nusra units in the Idlib province.
In accordance with an agreement by Russia, Iran and Turkey - the guarantors of the Syrian ceasefire - de-escalation zones were set up in Syria in May 2017.

And nowhere near as accurate as the M16 per ermeys program.It is what it is. As a mass-produced weapon of simplicity and reliability, it's hard to argue with. It's not designed to be pinpoint accurate. It's designed for your average idiot to use. It was designed at the tail-end of WWII to be mass produced and handed out to their cannon-fodder troops.

I don't know what the latest version of the M-16 is like. I haven't had one since they had the M-16A2. It was still a full size service weapon. I could hit 10 out of 10 bulls at 500 M with it. That works for me.

It's possible that 0bama armed terrorists. In fact, given that he did everything else wrong, I'd even go so far as to say it's likely he did. 0bama was a rolling clusterfuck of misadventures for 8 straight years.

Trump's not a military man, but he's surrounded by the best and I can't see any of the military talent in Trump's administration saying we should give any sort of technology to any of those groups over there. Too often we end up facing our own weaponry a few years down the line and that's no good.

The Turkish military has suffered the deadliest day in its offensive against Kurdish militias inside northern Syria, with seven soldiers killed.
Five of the troops died when their tank was attacked in the Afrin region.
PM Binali Yildirim vowed to make the militias "pay for this twice as much" and jets later struck Kurdish targets north-east of the city of Afrin.
Turkey's "Olive Branch" operation was launched on 20 January to drive the Kurdish YPG militia out of Afrin.
Turkey views the YPG (People's Protection Units) as a terrorist group and an extension of the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has fought for Kurdish autonomy in south-eastern Turkey for three decades.
What does Turkey say happened?The military said in a statement that the US-backed YPG attacked the tank in Sheikh Haruz, north-east of Afrin city.
Two other soldiers were killed earlier, the military said, one in Afrin and another on the Turkish side of the border in an attack blamed on the YPG.
Turkey has now lost 14 soldiers in fierce clashes during the offensive.

What is the operation about?Mr Yildirim reiterated on Saturday that the aim of operation "Olive Branch" was to eradicate what he called "a terror belt" along Turkey's borders.
"It is an operation aimed at liberating Arabs, and our Kurdish and Turkmen brothers who have been groaning under oppression," he told members of the governing Justice and Development Party (AKP).
Turkish troops are being accompanied by pro-Turkey rebels from the Free Syrian Army (FSA).

Turkey says it has killed some 900 Kurdish fighters, but this cannot be independently verified.
What do Kurdish reports say?Thousands of people have been displaced by the Turkish-led offensive that also involves about 10,000 Syrian rebels.

Actually, the MANPADS was more likely an IGLA. We know them as SA-14, -16 and -18. They were in use within Syria and rebels have been shown wielding them in several photos. Most probably "liberated" from Syrian Army depots. Yeah, they are Russian.

[High_Plains_Drifter]

So, an American SAM can easily knock down one of Russia's most sophisticated fighter jets, now decades old, but this Russian Baghdad Bob Balu we have here also wants to trash talk our anti missile, missile tests?

I don't see this Balu's purpose here as much other than to shit talk America and our military. The fucker is a Russian propaganda twit.

[NightTrain]

I could have agreed, but not in this case. At least according to info I have from my personal sources.

Fair enough. I know you have your sources that are high up in Russian circles, and we'll leave it at that.

However, I'd like to point out that if there were evidence that the hardware used was American, it would be to Putin's benefit on the world stage to produce that evidence.


Furthermore. Trump is not ruling and controlling military and many other aspects in politics. And it is a pity. As we in Russia can see there is a big mess and a big pack between the branches of power in the USA. And this may cause unpredictable consequences.

I can't even begin to imagine what a foreign observer would think by watching news outlets such as CNN, MSNBC, PBS and reading a host of American newspapers like the New York Times, Washington Post, etc.

Even to your average American it looks like utter chaos, which is what these organizations are striving to represent to their viewers. This is the result of political bias skewing the reporting and shaping the stories, and there is much disinformation produced daily promoting non-stories dressed up as legitimate news. To many Americans, these dishonest organizations have forever tarnished their reputations and when a story is quoted from one of these sources, it's immediately viewed with suspicion. It's gotten very bad.

I expect that to a foreign observer watching CNN, it would appear that civil war is brewing or at the very least, impeachment of Trump any day now. This isn't actually the case, and Trump actually has a pretty good handle on things - but you wouldn't know it by watching some (or even most) of the media.

I hope, that our military will show this damn islamic bastards the Hell of Earth.

MOSCOW, February 5. /TASS/. Russia’s air pilot Roman Filipov, whose Sukhoi-25 plane was shot down in Syria last weekend, has been posthumously nominated for the title of Hero of Russia, the Defense Ministry said.
"Russia’s Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has posthumously nominated Major Roman Filipov, deputy squadron commander of the Eastern Military District’s attack aviation regiment, who was killed on February 3, 2018 while fighting terrorists in Syria for the title of Hero of Russia," the report says.

The Defense Ministry said that while flying over the de-escalation zone Idlib on a ceasefire monitoring mission Filipov’s Sukhoi-25 plane was shot down by terrorists with a man-portable anti-aircraft missile.
"The pilot did his best to keep the plane in the air as long as he could. He managed to report to his commanders he had been attacked by a missile. Filipov ejected himself and landed near the terrorists-held village of Tell-Debes. Until the last moments of his life he fought with the terrorists with his hand weapon. The pilot blew himself up with a grenade after being heavily injured and surrounded by terrorists when the attackers were several dozen meters away," the Defense Ministry said.
The Defense Ministry promised Filipov’s parents and family all support they need. It described the officer as an experienced air pilot who had been to Syria on several assignments before. He had to his credit dozens of very successful combat missions to destroy terrorists and accompany humanitarian convoys of Russia’s center for the reconciliation of warring parties. Filipov was a graduate of the Higher Military Aviation Academy in Krasnodar. Commanders have invariably described him as a promising, competent and resolute fighter-bomber pilot enjoying well-deserved recognition in the regiment and respect of his subordinates in the squadron.

--

Moscow. February 5th. INTERFAX.RU - Having no accurate information about the source of a portable anti-aircraft missile system getting to the Syrian terrorists, from which the Russian Su-25 attack aircraft was shot down last week, one should be cautious in declaring the origin of these weapons, said Dmitry Peskov, the presidential press secretary .

"Undoubtedly, without knowing exactly where and how this MANPADS, as well as many others that terrorists have, get to the territory of Syria, it is necessary to make some kind of statements with caution," he told journalists.

So Peskov commented on the words of Federation Council member Igor Morozov that the MANPADS could get to terrorists from Ukraine.

"One fact is unconditional: it is an extreme concern that portable anti-aircraft missile systems are in the hands of terrorists, which is a huge danger for all states," he told reporters.

Earlier, the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security Franz Klintsevich said that the fighters of the terrorist organization "Jabhat al-Nusra (banned in Russia) in Syria received MANPADS with the mediation of the United States.

I have an award for him....http://thisainthell.us/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/willie-2.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/HjpzYiY.png

I do not need your assistance. I have my own.
Then, a piece of advice - try never speak about things you have NO clue of.
In the Russian Federation, all officers are buried at STATE expense. The procedure - the State flag over the coffin, the salute of the platoon of the Guard of Honor and the State Anthem at the time of the burial. I've already deserved all this. Including my service in your country.
And now, goodbye. You're not interesting to me. http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/standart/dirol.gif

[Gunny]

I'm checking out Willie. That's a Hell of a set of awards :laugh2:

I like the Marine Corps Rifle Expert badge incorrectly assembled and pinned through a business card with a PH on it. Hell, it looks like he's been in every war since WW I :laugh:

OH, I see Balu. You're just like our Liberal, Democrat members of the Wannabe Socialist Republic of Future Poor, and Stupid America. You can't handle honest discussion, or Truth. So you run away just like our former Senate leader.....http://icansayit.com/1apages/cutrun.jpg.

You must be BROTHERS in COMRADSHIP.

Gunny. He's got nearly every badge, from the Marines, Navy, and Army.

The only award he's missing is the PELOSI BOTOX AWARD for flappin' lips.:laugh:

Gunny...let's see which one's he missed...https://d26horl2n8pviu.cloudfront.net/pictures/images/000/122/440/large_v3/89324eb2.jpg?1480537638

He fancies himself a retired office. Quite the rank snob. Apparently so is Russia if what he says is true. So what do they do with enlisted people KIA? Leave them?

I think he relieves his tensions while looking at that Colin Powell picture. Jungle fever he has.

How do you KNOW when you're a shit for brains? When you post on a board with a dozen regular users and you got at least 2 of them on ignore :laugh:

[Gunny]

Or chicken.For some "great warrior", he won't fight. It's too bad he has to act the way he does. When he isn't being Peter the Great, he posts some interesting stuff about Russia.

I wonder if he thinks DP is at war with Russia :dunno:

Sorry, if that video was already posted here. I didn't find it.

Internet says, that it is the last moment of pilot's life.
He shouted "That's for our guys!" and blew himself.

Just to be clear, I at least, as I am sure we all are, are not disrespecting your pilot. He was doing what he was told to. I also don't want to get you caught up in something that began long before you were here.

We're disrespecting the politicians and policies that put the pilot in the position he was in. We say the same about our own politicians, and we treat people like Balu here in this country in the same manner. One can be proud of one's country without having to start talking down to everyone about it which is what he does. The people that don't have to fight the wars that are more than willing to send someone else off to do it while they just talk a lot.

Probably from the stash stolen at Benghazi.

It's okay, I understand :)
I do not mean politics, just thought, that that video suits well here. And translated what was the scream about.

Honestly, I don't think about politics, when soldiers killed. And I mean any soldier, that fights with terrorism. Screw politicians.
And please, don't think, that I like our politicians. :)

I hear you on the politicians. They sure are brave with other people's lives.

[Gunny]

Polite Russian I got some songs if I can find them again you can translate for me. I'll put them in the music forum though. I usually watch the facial expressions but this one song everyone stood up and started tearing up. I have no clue why :laugh: It is Ukranian, I think.

Looks like he just stood back and tossed the ribbons and medals to see where they stuck!
Completely out of order and precedence!

What a "Hero"!:laugh:

What a "Hero"!:laugh:I've seen those guys on the Mall in DC. The "War Vets" have their little "village" of stands across the street from the Lincoln Memorial in close proximity to "The Wall". Used to run by them. Some of them are a hoot. A lot of them are like ol' Willie. Total frauds. I never liked them for the simple reason that they really DO reflect poorly on actual vets.

He's one of those STOLEN VALOR on Steroids, with approaching Alzheimers. Not really sure about anything now. There are a lot of people like him out there. God forbid they get the attention they need from the easily-led.

God forbid they get the attention they need from the easily-led.Oh, they do. They're right by "the Wall". Mostly, only tourists go there. They don't know any better. They tell their John Kerry stories panhandling for a $ or to buy their Vietnam memorabilia anyone can order online.
