A Russian rescue helicopter has been shot down by Syrian rebels while searching for pilots missing after Turkey downed a Russian jet.

The helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing in a government-held area in Syria's Latakia province.

A Syrian insurgent group, which uses U.S. Tow missiles, said its fighters hit the helicopter with an anti-tank missile.

Video footage has emerged online appearing to show the helicopter after it crashed in dense woodland.

The rescue helicopter was not shot down. Also that picture is of onee of the pilots who ejected from the plane.

The helicopter was disabled by a TOW Missile LINK

*Rebels killed both pilots from the fighter jet.

Some posters on here seem to want it to happen.

However, no, it is not going to happen.

Was the plane shot down from the ground?? The initial report I heard was that Turkish f-16 brought it down.

And why was it grounded? Come on, JBeam... why would a perfectly good helicopter end up on the ground? Say it... say it...

I'm just saying that the OP is mixing up the fighter jet & helicopter incidents. Yes, the Rebels destroyed a RUS helicopter.
