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.

Some posters on here seem to want it to happen.
However, no, it is not going to happen.

Well Russia has enough money to last about 6 months, I doubt they want WW III

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

Watch the video. The helicopter was grounded and believed to be abandoned.

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

The great russian Air Force suffered a loss from a lowly Turkish piloted F-16?

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