US Backed "Rebels" Execute Russian Pilots While Parachuting, Caught On Tape

Tyler Durden's picture




 

If Putin was angry when Turkey shot down a Russian plane, which may or may not have crossed Turkish territory - reports on both sides are conflicting - he will be absolutely livid to learn that, according to Turkey's Dogan News, the Russian pilots who had parachuted in an attempt to save their lives after the plane was shot down, had been executed while parachuting down by local rebels, which considering the video released earlier belonged to the Free Syrian Army, are same "rebels" who are funded directly by the CIA.

And this:

As Telegraph points out, the above tweet is from CNN Turk's Foreign Editor who tweeted that the Turkmen rebels DHA spoke to said: "We hit at the two pilots after they parachuted."

This, as many have already pointed out, is a war crime.

The only question is whether this, together with the provocative action by Turkey which many can see being an act of war, will be deemed as such by Putin.

The parachuters can be seen in the second half of the clip below:

 

For those who missed it, here is the video uploaded by the Free Syrian Army of at least one dead parachuter.

 

And here is the video of rebels opening fire on Russian pilots:

As one commentator notes, in the video one person shouts over the gun fire, "don't fire. Let's take them prisoners. Don't fire. Prisoners" but it was not meant to be.

Reuters confirms the pilots' death: Turkmen forces in Syria shot dead the two pilots of a Russian jet downed by Turkish warplanes near the border with Turkey on Tuesday as they descended with parachutes, a deputy commander of a Turkmen brigade told reporters.

"Both of the pilots were retrieved dead. Our comrades opened fire into the air and they died in the air," Alpaslan Celik, a deputy commander in a Syrian Turkmen brigade said near the Syrian village of Yamadi as he held what he said was a piece of a pilot's parachute.

"Our units, who received the information that the two pilots were alive, are working to get them from opposition rebels safely," the official said.

The Russian General Staff said that, according to preliminary data, one of the Su-24 pilots has died after being fired at from the ground.

According to the Geneva Convention attacks on persons parachuting from an aircraft in distress are stricly banned: if the person in distress is not acting in a hostile manner, he is to be given the chance to surrender after reaching the ground.

A repeat post from an other thread

 

Semi Official Russia response:

" The Russian defense ministry has stated in the most emphatic terms, that they are sure the plane was in Syrian airspace.  If true, this constitutes an act of war."

If this sounds worrying, it should. Turkey would never have done this without US support. NEVER. We all know that. This act is what I call a "Shit Test". NATO decided to kill some Russians, and do it in the wide open. Now, Russia either runs away and hides, which is the desired result. Or they come out swinging.

Russian Defense sources say they are SURE, it was in Syrian Air Space. The US Defense Secretry promised that Russia in Syria would soon have casulaties. Remember his speech? This was a threat, now we see the result.

When someone "shit tests" you, they are using a tactic all Bullies know and love. They sucker punch you, and see if you have the balls to be a man and defend yourself. Russia has just been shit tested in the extreme. If they do not react, the whole NATO will begin to squeeze Russia in Syria. And note this: Ukrainian army forces just added 1,000 troops and tanks in direct line of attack on Donetsk, this added to an already considerable force in jumping off positions for an offensive. Look for NATO to hit in two places at once.

We enter a dangerous time. NATO and Washington are going to go all in! They will either turn Russia back inside it's borders by force, or all hell is about to fall on us innocent citizens.

Remember who is in Washington doing this!  Neo-Conservative War Party , which is just code for zionist.

Hopefully China will back Russia in economically destroying Turkey, and removing the corrupt Turkish president's son from this earth (currently in Italy). Unfortunately, they cannot conduct outward military operations against the Islamist Erdogan, due to Turkey being a NATO member.

As usual Jack....over the top.  Dead on.  I hope the young ones read your posts and give some serious thought to what you have to say.  This morning I told some friends that Obama makes me want to puke but he is not the only turd in the sack.  Most of the group in  Washington have long since lost reality.  Like I said earlier today I liked Donald Trump but he blew his brass balls off with the water boarding comment.  I wish he hadn't said anything. 

China must be sitting back and watching this.  They have a Muslim problem too.  If NATO comes forth then China may have to act.

This should piss a lot of people off. We have been told all our lives what an asshole Stalin was.  During WW2 he did everything FDR and Churchill asked him to do.  To the letter.  FDR was constantly lying to him.  When FDR told Churchill to lie to Stalin, Churchill simply said: "No."  For that I respect Churchill.

I have to wonder, could they not eject and free fall as far as possible then open their chutes reducing time in the air? Or are those chutes automatic (in case pilot is unconscious).

At altitudes up to 30,000 to 50,000 feet, ejection seats have lots of equipment oxygen, etc. and assume that the force of ejection is likely to render the pilot unconscious for a while.

Russia should immediately recognize the state of Kurdistan and the PKK and give them massive massive military support. Bring in regiment of russian soliders.  When will nations learn not to fuck with Russia. For what possible logical reason could turkey give for this attack. Was Russia at war with turkey, was it bombing turkey, Thats like killing my neighbour for trespassing after he came over to help me fix a car. No the thinking person must conclude that the only reason or this was because Turkey is protecting ISIS.

And by America not seeking a neutral position on this, America has taken the dangerous step of throwing away any excuse it can use if and when it does violate anothers airspace. It has basically said to anyone including China, trespass on  our border and you will be shotdown forget about being escorted out in a diplomatic fashion like sane people would do.

Expect a US destroyer to be sunk soon.

Sad to see.  So Turkey attacks Russia.  The 'rebels' have already restated what NATO has said (that was weird).  'They were warned multiple times'.  How would the rebels know that?  U.S. rocket launcher takes down a helicopter.

I guess its hard for us to fight the terrorists when they are us and our buddies!

 

It really does seem that this is enough cannon fodder for WWIII to be on the way.  Buy your military company manufacturing stock now!

"I do not see how Turkey could ever become a member of the EU with its barberic islamic baggage."

 

Yes, its demografics after all.

 

Kalamists are in the big cities, Istanbul and Ankara....the country side is full of conservative Ottoman Muslim turks. The city folk, who are very European in thinking, have 2 kids per couple, the coutry side folk have 5 kids per couple.

 

Do the arithmetic.

 

Turkey is sliding backwards.

 

Colleague of mine, a Turk, came out to observe an installation in Oman. We were outside the equipment room drinking some water and I asked him, 'Where would Turkey be with Ataturk?", he just looked on the horizon at some Omani herding his camels and sad "We'd be there.".

 

Yup.

 

Problem is, he is University educated in Germany and was living in Germany and isfrom a town just outside Istanbul. His family are kamelists.....2 kids, he and his sister.

 

Demographics. You define your country via how many children you have BECAUSE your children carry your ideas with them. If you have few or no children, your ideas die with you. Yes, I know, Einstien and Newton had no kids and everyone knows what they thought.....those two gentlemen are 1 in a billion, hardly common folk. Probably one in 10 billion if you think on how many babies have been slaughtered in the West in the last 40 years.....how many Einstiens were butchered for the sake of convenience.

 

Its interesting how all this stuff is connected.

Poaster....I empathize with where you are coming from but step back 10 steps a re-read what you wrote above.

 

Like you, my first impulse is to think this way but what is shows is how both you and I have been collectively programmed.

 

No one is on anyone's leash. The amazing thing here is, the founding fathers of the USA knew and understood that. They also knew and understood that by-in-large, only corrupt psychopathic assholes want to enter congress....which is why the constitution gives congress almost no power......and yet, here we are.

 

Something will happen in Turkey, a military coup, a series of "Accidents"...something.

 

This is not the USS Liberty, the Russians are not Americans and Turkey is not Isreal.

Okay, so the rebels shot at the pilots who were executing those same rebels with their bombs and guns from the planes.  Then the Russians decided to violate Turkish air space.

Russia has been overly aggressive of late in their military posturing.  Crimea.  Ukraine..  Shooting down a passenger jet.  Putting its own troops in Syria to defend a dictator.  Bombing everything in Syria except ISIS.
