One crew of was rescued by Russian special forces, while the other died defending against attack by ground forces sympathetic to Turkey. Trailer is in Russian, but in a translatable format. [RedStar] The film, produced by the Tri XMedia film company, was shot jointly with the Russian Ministry of Defense with the participation of the Russia-1 TV channel. This is the first feature film about one of the operations of a Russian military group in the Syrian Arab Republic. The film, directed by Igor Kopylov, is based on real events in the Syrian Arab Republic, when in the north of the country, on the Syrian-Turkish border, on November 24, 2015, a Turkish fighter jet shot down a Russian supersonic fighter-bomber Su-24. The crew managed to eject. Navigator Konstantin Murakhtin survived and was rescued. Pilot Lieutenant Colonel Oleg Peshkov, who was descending with a parachute, was shot in the air by the militants. Later, all the terrorists involved in the death of the Russian pilot were destroyed, and the deceased pilot was awarded the title of Hero of Russia posthumously. Now there is a fighter-bomber named after Oleg Peshkov, and the roll call in the fifth company of the Yekaterinburg Suvorov military school, where he studied, begins with his last name. A monument in honor of Hero of Russia Oleg Peshkov was erected in Syria at the Khmeimim airbase. Nearby Khmeimim airbase, there are also monuments to his comrades who have completed their military duty to the end: the helicopter pilot Colonel Ryafagat Khabibullin, who died in 2016 while liberating Palmyra from militants, and the pilot of the Su-25SM attack aircraft Roman Filipov, who was shot down by terrorists over the Syrian province of Idlib in 2018 performing a combat mission in the Syrian Arab Republic. |
