I didn't see any ejections in the video.

Both ejected. One has been "found" dead. Of course there we're idiots at the ready to video his body while chanting Aloha snack bar.

A video on TV shows two parachutes deployed at altitude. An ISIS commander is reporting that his "comrades" shot the crew in their parachutes, but one video supposedly shows a crewman running on the ground. Another video supposedly shows (the same?) pilot after he had been shot and killed.

Ask yourself what would Russia do?

I hope the crew can rest in peace, and I hope Vlad takes it out on as many troglodytes as he can find.

But he probably won't be messing with the Turks. If he's smart.

Did the Su-24 have a chance against an F16? Seems like pretty old equipment.

Fencer is not a fighter.

Either we need to help the Russians in this, or GTFO of the way.

Truth be told, the aircraft probably didn't matter all that much. ROE was the determining factor. But I'll bet the Russian ROE is about to change.

Couldn't agree more, what a stupid move by a member.
The big Turks have been supporting IS all along.

Was an AWACS aircraft involved controlling the F-16. If so, whose?
