Syrian Rebels Destroy Russian Helicopter With US-Supplied Anti-Tank Missile
Earlier today, just hours after Turkey shot down a Russian Su-24 warplane near the border with Syria, the FSA (more specifically Alwiya al-Ashar) released footage of fighters celebrating over the body of a dead Russian pilot.
The group would later claim to have executed both pilots after they ejected from the plane and attempted to parachute to safety.
In a second serious escalation, another FSA-aligned group claimed to have shot down a Russian search and rescue helicopter.
You can read our full coverage here, but just note that if the FSA's 1st Coastal Brigade did indeed use an American-made TOW to destroy a Russian aircraft, it confirms exactly what we said on Monday when we detailed the American, Turkish, and Saudi-sponsored program to supply anti-tank missiles to the Syrian opposition:
Obviously, this is the very definition of absurdity. It would be bad enough if the US were supplying TOWs to anyone in Syria. But this is Washington and Riyadh handing anti-tank missiles to forces that are firing them at the Iranians who are operating under cover of Russian airstrikes. Just to drive that home: the US is waging war against Iran and Russia with but one degree of separation.
Now, the FSA has released what it says is footage of the TOW attack:

WTF....somebody REALLY wants WW3 to touch off right now.
FUCK. This sucks. If I don't see you guys after the next 24hrs, it's been real.
Peace
Think friends.....Russian navy is hemmed in the Mediterranean.
No escape routes possible
Gibaraltar, Suez and Bosphorus straights blockaded.
NWO remains on track
Those TOWs came from Suad, not the US. Why can no one seem to get their facts straight here?
and from whom did the House of Saud acquire the TOWs? Or, is there a domestic manufacturer of TOW systems in the Kingdom of which I'm not aware?
Shooting down an S&R helicopter is bull shit. Guaranteed these fucker will get no sympathy when Russia mans the border with Turkey. All Putin needed to give him a excuse to go full medieval on these bastards.
see my comment below. It is very probable.
God damn I wish Turkey were not a NATO member right now. Fuck those bastards. They're literally the Austria-Hungary of our era.
Joo World Order unpacking... ... ... ... ... 13%
This looks like bullshit. TOWS are designed to punch through tank armour.
Whilst I don't claim to be an authority on the matter, it seems highly probable that these missiles will pass striaght through an aircraft fuselage without detonating.
If you watch the video, they didn't "Shoot it down", they actually shot at what looked like a something on the ground, with a slight hill directly behind. They hit it through the tail, lengthwise, which would probably cause some kind of explosion from hitting so much material.
For all we know this was a training video that they released just to look powerful to the Russians.
Russian weapons are no match for US weapons.
I don't give two shits how powerful my own country's weaponry is... I don't want Russians, who I share far more values with than Muslims, killed in my name just to protect a bunch of sand niggers who have never learned how to take responsibility for their own countries.
I would not want to be a Turk pilot anywhere near the Syrian border.
..payback is a bitch and Turks deserve a lot of payback.
But Putin is too smart to make an obvious attack on a NATO member… although we seem to be taunting him.

If Putin really doesn't want bloodshed to defeat the west, then he and his allies should just accelerate creating a replacement for the IMF. Force the U.S. elites to endure the painful consequences of money printing.
Though that seems less likely now that China has been accepted into the SDR basket? Not sure how the financial end of this battle is playing out lately, so much actual hot war going on.
.
This is not good!
Today a very weird chart, two triangles Grand Trine and Tsquare both have apex Pluto at 13 Cap which locks onto Putin Libra Sun 13 and USA Sun 13 Cancer.
On top of each other, this is VERY bad.
Can't see phony Obama since he has lied about his birthdata.
Turkey just put herself on a straight path towards a world of hurt:

Time to arm Kurds and unleash them on Turkey.....two can play that game....
Exactly! That is what I was thinking. Arm the Kurds to the teeth not only in Syria but in Turkey itself.
Erdogas sucks.
Paper match-ups between MIC products are irrelevant and a distraction. The critical issue how effective one side's weapons are at neutralizing flesh and blood and how well those weapons can be employed against a given adversary.
I would agree if it was US and Russia squaring off, but it's Russia against some untrained savages.
I would agree if it was US and Russia squaring off, but it's Russia against some untrained savages.
Untrained? Where did you get that idea? Doesn't it strike you as a little strange that these "untrained savages" can not only operate the most technically advanced military hardware (with instructions and markings in English), but they can "somehow" operate it far more effectively than troops that have been "officially" trained? That guy setting up and firing that TOW has obviously done it before - so - where did Hadji get to practice setting up and firing TOW missiles? And who provided the practice TOW's and the instruction? (not that it's a big mystery)
CIA and spec ops have been training these guys in Jordan for the last 4 years....
"Russian weapons are no match for US weapons."
Phew, glad you cleared that up!
I thought the Russians knew a bit, but so happy to now know that that is not the case.
Now I know WWIII will be over in an afternoon.
Feel much better.
Defending is always easier that attacking. Russia should now bring S-400 in Syria and shoot down some American, Turkish and Israeli planes in retaliation. That would do the job for now. And after all if all goes to waste Putin has always has the option to go full retard all launch all the nukes.
Well, I got a lot of red kudos for it, but I warned about Russia getting drawn into a long winded proxy war with religious fanatics sponsored by the US, Turkey and the Gulf States. A second Afghanistan.
I also got a lot of red kudos for suggesting that not all, but a lot of Russian equipment (like the SU24 and SU25 and Mil-MI 24 helicopters) are old pieces of Soviet SHIT!
Sorry for bursting anyone's bubble, but at least if the US gets involved in a proxy-war, they do this with laser guided bombs from Stealth Bombers flying at >30000 feet and unmanned drones and cruise missiles.
I feel sorry for the 2 pilots who had to eject from that SU24, they never had a chance against an F16, but at least they are spared a horrible death like that Jordanian pilot who was burned alive in that cage.
Those people are animals, and I think most Americans (perhaps due to their low exposure to Muslims in everyday life) have no clue what they are talking about. To most here, this conflict is about Russia versus the US and since the US manipulates their precious gold prices they root for Russia, but you guys fail to understand the fanatical religious background that these fruitcakes have. They don't need much brainwashing by the CIA, or how else would you explain that thousands of Muslims in Europe were cheering on September 11th 2001, and that Turks were chanting "Allah Akbar" during the minute of quiet at the start of a soccer game in remembrance for the Paris terrorist attacks ?
Russia should never have entered this fight, and is now backed into either losing face by pulling out quietly, or escalating this into a full scale war against those treacherous Turks who are, unfortunately, backed by NATO.
After a flying start and some beginners luck, it looks like Putin wasn't so smart after all by entering this war guns blazing...
Dear Russia/Putin: please don't be drawn into a exhausting civil war where you have to do the dirty work for the West!
Aw JHC.. get real.
This is about a Med port, a pipeline from Qatar that will not happen and a terror reach into the Caucuses..
Vlad will not lose on any of those issues.
..and f. the goddam US puppet Turks.
..but I do agree that Putin will get his hands dirty here doing a job that should not have to be done.
If stuff needs to be cleaned up, why not Russia? Russia is part of the continent upon which Syria resides. The U.S. is not.
"and that Turks were chanting "Allah Akbar" during the minute of quiet at the start of a soccer game in remembrance for the Paris terrorist attacks ?"
This was to do with the non-reaction of the world when 102 muslims (mostly Kurds at that) were killed by ISIS in Ankara. This did not matter to the West, an hour or so of Newspaper coverege later this got filed under "oh well only muslims".
The Turks believed there are double standards in Europe.
The Turks believed there are double standards in Europe.
Good, then I hope that they never want to join the EU, and that the US won't push them into the EU by leaning on Merkel!
But I bet the lure of 'free money' and EU subsidies will also expose a double standard of the Turks with regards to Europe...
If you watch carefully you can see multiple secondary explosions and a large peace of shrapnel flying off to the right. That secondary was the right side missile pod exploding. The Russians use several different types of missiles in those missiles pods depending on the mission. Because this was a rescue mission they should have anti-personal missiles in those pods. Those types of missiles have ball bearings that are designed to kill everyone exposed within a 20 meter radius. If you watch the video closely you can see those ball bearings ripping through that helicopter when that missile pod exploded.
Yes, Nuubee. And do not forget the incendiary Allahu Akbar in the background. I, like Rand Paul, call "Bullsh#t".
This was my first thought as well, but you can clearly see the smoke plume in the background from the video of the Russian fighter crashing X number of minutes/hours earlier behind the hill to the left.
That is probably what did happen.
But, putting a big hole in a machine that relies on hytraulic fluid and electronics usually makes it hard to keep in the air.
If they were able to auto-rotate to a landing, hat tips to the ruskie pilot for getting it down. Its not an easy task.
Harlequin, you have NO idea what you are talking about. I would llisten and learn as you have no idea what a TOW will do or not do.
Those TOWs came from Suad, not the US. Why can no one seem to get their facts straight here?
The USUS does not export military hardware without prohibitions on the re-export of that hardware. There it is plausible to conclude that the KSA transfer to TOWs to ISIS had tacit USUS approval.
What is the difference between ISIS and USUS apart from I and U?
No, you are both wrong. These are TOW's from:
a) Libya: Given to the Rebels who unbeknownst to us moved them to Syria against our express wishes.
b) Iraq: Stolen when Iraqi forces fighting valiantly were over run after years of training by the US and picked up by the ruthless aggressors.
c) Syria: Stolen from a resupply mission that went awry attempting to re-supply moderate Syrian rebels who only want to live peacefully and without the threat of having their children gassed by Assad.
can't tell if you're missing your /sarc tag or not? geez...you guys are getting MDB-level good...
ETA: upon re-reading, nice work! have a green!
A) Libya.
I think we might want to think about how those TOWs would get out of Libya--a port city perhaps?
Who would negotiate with someone with weapons like that? Would it run like a Detroit handgun buy-back at the local police station? Or would you have another "gang" with deep pockets do that.
I wonder what would happen if another gang, with deep pockets--and friends in Syria and Iraq, got wind that the first gang was buying weapons from some of their weak handed or greedy buddies.
Just tossing it out for conversation. You know how this things are just "conspiracies."
And really. At this point. What difference does it make?
Who is the Franz Ferdinandof today?
was an Archduke of Austria-Este, Austro-Hungarian and Royal Prince of Hungary and of Bohemia, and from 1896 until his death, heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne.
Interesting how times really have not changed over there -
NoVa
The Archduke and his pregnant wife were killed.
Will the real Gavrilo Prinzip please stand up?
If Turkey attacked Russia, then any NATO could instead throw a cocktail party and tell Erdogan to go hell if Russia attacked, in which case the European response is actually more critical than the US response, and probably determinative of it.
Sounds good, but not going to happen. The European lapdogs are not all of a sudden becoming wolves.
There are good number of US forces in Turkey.
Working at places in Turkey where Russians would probably bomb.
Do you think that fat Russian general is going to walk into the Iraqi embassy with another demarche?
what a CF this is becoming...
No shit. No way would Americans want to go to war to protect Turkey and their dictator "president" should Russia say oh yeah we are now going to devistate Turkey. Or Russia might go about it in a more covert way and just have the Turkey president off'ed. That would slow them down really quick.
I hope they'll choose something faster this time than the ol' dioxin-in-the-borscht trick. Frankly, if the Russian Army were to crowdfund a Job on him and Little Bilal, and offer livestreaming of the bayonet-rape as a perk, I wonder how long it would take to tip?
It's Archduke Ferdinand time.
So you dont think NATO okayed this ahead of time?
The more I think about it this was a staged ambush just waiting on some unlucky Russian pilot to
stray into the kill zone, so yes NATO probably OKayed it in advance.
Too many co-incidences when you ponder about it.Probably some sucker bait was used.
The US is supporting the "Allah Akbar" terrorists in Syria instead of the secular, relativly moderate and elected president Assad. They really create all the bad blood in the ME. At some point there will be a price to pay.
The price is being paid by civilians as always.
I feel sorry for american public who are dancing with the stars on their own funeral.
why would you feel sorry about brainless sheep?
Regardless of where it came from, that guy looked like he's VERY familier with the platform. That's not a first-time operator.
No wonder, he received his training across the border in Turkey. How convenient, Turkish F16 shoots down SU24 and rebels get a hint that there will be a search and rescue party with helos and shoot down of them to send 'a message' to Russia. It's a coordinated operation, some parts of Turkish establishment must be really hurting from strikes on those oil-supplying convoys being bombed by comparable attack aircrafts. So, the point of Turkey's involvement is to steal oil from Iraq and Sirya and in absence of a pipeline have it delivered by trucks. I suspect that together with many other things Russian airforce will pay even closer attention to those snackbars' oil convoys and this time message will get very personal and precise.
alley oop snackbar mo fo's ..
you really do not want to F with the rooskies..
they have been f'd in the past but they know the ropes now.
... and does anybody except the deep state understand what a big deal big missiles from a little cruiser are?
He should be good, it cost 50M US tax dollars to train him to set up that platform.
and from whom did the House of Saud acquire the TOWs?
And isn't it just *crazy* how those "goat herders" seem to know exactly how to set up and fire those weapons? Jeez - it's almost like .... like someone trained 'em or sumthin' /s
Why make such an immature comment as "TOW's came from Saud"? When you know they are manufactured in the USA and supplied to Saudi Arabia in the full knowledge they will be shipped further on to Syrian rebels? Let me guess, you blame the post office for the bills you get in the mail? After all the PO Mailman delivered them!
Why be immature. If you support Turkey, Saudi and the USA in Syrian just make your case. Instead this comment is nothing but a cheap Troll! Waste of space.
Go ahead and make his day...punk.
Bitter feud between Turkey, Egypt undercuts U.S. hopes for Middle East
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jul/29/turkey-egypt-feud-underc...
Two of America’s linchpin allies in the Middle East are bitterly feuding, complicating the Obama administration’s hopes of confronting Sunni Salafists and containing the ambitions of Shiite Iran.
Egypt is accusing Turkey of working with the Islamic State on the Sinai Peninsula, a new low in the already poor relations between the two regional powers.
---------
This could get really fucking ugly for turkey if they were involved in the downing of the russian passenger jet. I would still not discount some Israeli involvement with the Turks on this either.
What part of the Zionist Sabbatean Frankist Jew history do you not understand?
Are you for real? So the whole Russian Navy is caught in the Mediterranean! What about their nuclear subs scattered around the world? What about their 5,000 ICBM's located on Russian soil which have targets embeded in their hardware such as New York, Washington DC, San Diego, Virginia Beach, etc. The only target on that list that I would love to see Russia hit directly is Washington DC.
What if something "happens" when all of their stuff is close together in the med. We are not the only country there with nukes.
What about New York City and San Francisco?
Washington DC is the library of Satan but New York is his fucking living room.
Boston, too. The Ivy League must be incinerated. Maybe something small and tactical for Stanford.
A couple of nukes in Constantinople will clear up the Bosphorus in a hurry. Same goes for Gibraltar, but that seems less likely--nothing but Russian nuclear subs going out of those gates.
See you guys in the forest soon.

The Daily Mail (UK) had a story on the shootdown and the response was enormous, over 6,200 comments. One of the latest comments from someone in Nottingham was: "Could anybody tell me how many bricks and how much sand and cement I will need to build a nuclear bunker ?! Is it a quick job because time is of the essence!"
Tow missile system. Yes those fibers coming out of the cannon are connected to the projectile and guide it all they way in.
Yes, that is fact. Wire guided was the term we used when I was in the service. But now it is indeed a tiny fiber optic line. We even fired torpedoes from our submarine using, then a wire guided, system.
This allow to correct course right to impact, so a moving target get little chance. In the Ukrainian civil war, Russian KORNET missiles have chopped up the tank forces of both sides.
WW3 is great cover for a banking system collapse, and keeps people from probing deeper.

Why does the launcher have a German aircraft marking on top?
That's a controll panel not a marking
German army used TOW missiles back in the 80's already, together with the better working HOT missiles. Could be leftover launchers.

ISIS says, "Thank you for your service."
Good call Billy. So what happens next? My guess is they are trying to lure Putin out so that they can engage NATO... Putin wont take the bait. He will pummel "moderate" US, Israeli, and Saudi assets in Syria. He will come up with something that disappoints them.
ISIS enjoyed almost total freedom until Russia showed up. Obviously all these airstrikes and oil truck assaults must be taking their toll. As the ISIS supporters (The West, the Gulf countries and Turkey) become more desperate to prop up their straw man will they commit an error that will lead to their exposure? Will Syrian, Iranian or Hezbollah troops take US mercenaries or Mossad enablers on the ground and trot them out before the press? Would it make any difference? There's already been a story of an Israeli colonel captured by Iran as he lead ISIS forces in Iraq. Will Putin blow the lid off this thing figuratively or literally?
Let's hope.

That will be his response.
Putin is a cool customer because he has Saturn conjunct the Sun, his response is measured, assured, deadly and accurate. Because Saturn is exaulted in Libra, striking the exact and correct balance.

As an American citizen I apologize to the world and to the people of Paris whom my President helped armed and train the people who attacked you. My president is a terrorist.
Obummer, "...but, but, but if I don't do what they tell me they'll kill my family...if I do I'm RICH forever, just look at the Clintons, and someday my daughter will be the first Black Female president!"
the usa wont be electing presidents when his daughter is old enough but i have to agree she would be voted into office.....
all true, but just wait for the next one (if we make it to 2016). Each successive president makes one lament for the prior one. But alas, they are all just puppets in the end. Barry is quite the fucktard though.
Do you even listen to this guy? You can hear the hatred for this country in his voice when he speaks, I've been round a long time and never in my life have I seen a president as bad as him. He is the true Manchurian candidate.
But each of the four on deck appear to be not only ill intentioned but certifiably insane.
I said years ago that we won't make it through the Obama administration, and I'm sticking to that statement. The candidates on deck are for entertainment purposes only. Circuses, because the people can no longer afford bread.
We will have the election in 2016, one last charade, one last time pretending that we have a nation based on laws. Then comes to the US the suffering that the rest of the world has known at the hands of the banksters and the MIC. Your spare cash between now and then should go into training and preps.
Your spare cash

Does Dick Cheney's old bunker have a putting green?
Highly unlikely to be this true. The chopper's engines are turned off. That wouldn't happen unless it had an engine malfunctioning, and thus it would most probably be abandoned. This is probably another incident from years ago, being rehashed.
Yeah, the time-stamp on the video is clearly from years ago.
There is no time stamp on the video. There is only an upload date to Youtube, which has very little relevance. As for the 3 people who downvoted my initial comment, you obviously have no idea about the massive IT efforts of the Syrian opposition and "rebels". It is a small matter to reupload something.
