While everyone has their panties in a wad arguing about Trump and Russia, the Syrians just shot down an Israeli Viper...Massive response launched.

The plane made it back to Israeli territory before it crashed, the pilots was recovered and taken to the hospital, one in serious condition.

Another Iranian Drone launched from Syrian entered Israel...this could get ugly.

Today a Turkish army helicopter was also shot down by Syrian Kurdish YPG. Casualties TBD.

The drone shot down by an IAF helicopter looks like a copy of the RQ-170.

 

Interesting how little media attention this has:
