FSA video claims Russian-made helicopter hit with US-made TOW missile near Su-24 crash site



A video of Syrian rebels allegedly firing at a Russian-made helicopter on the ground has been posted on a YouTube channel associated with the FSA’s 1st Coastal Brigade. The helicopter is said to have been on a search mission for the pilots of the Su-24 jet downed by Turkey in Syria.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the militants stuck the helicopter with an anti-tank missile.

The Free Syrian Army (FSA), considered to be the so-called “moderate opposition” by the West, has received US Tow missiles among other weaponry.

When that turns out not to be the case, the shock can be quite severe.
