| 2015-11-25 |
| A Turkmen commander tells reporters of how a Russian warplane was shot down after it entered Turkish airspace. Alpaslan Celik, the second-in-command of the Turkmen Coastal Division, said the Russian warplane dropped a bomb on a Turkmen region of Syria after his forces re-captured the a mountain region from Syrian forces. Celik also said the rebels shot and killed both Russian pilots who parachuted from the plane after it was shot down. It has not been verified that either of the pilots are dead. A group of fighters could be seen in the background shouting "Allahu Akbar" and firing into the air with machine guns as Celik made the announcement. |
