#3 THis is not an F-16. This looks like an old A-4 Skyhawk.

#4 The picture may well only be for illustrative purposes only, JFM. We do that a lot here at Rantburg -- and not all of us know our flying machines.

#8 Ethnic Turkmen in Syria admit killing Russian pilots as they parachuted.
I suspect things will become extremely unpleasant for ethnic Turkmen in Syria, in the very near future, if it hasn't already happened today.

#10 Migs have been putting F-16's under missile lock. My take is an F-16 pilot took exception. Shooting parachuting pilots will have consequences....
