Syrian warplane downed during operation against Islamic State: army

Syrian warplane downed during operation against Islamic State: army[/URL]


The Syrian military on Sunday said one of its war planes had been downed in the eastern Syrian city of Deir al-Zor during an operation against Islamic state, where the militant group has been under intense air strikes in the past 24 hours.

The jet came down in the Jebel Tharda area which overlooks the government's Deir al Zor military airport, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the Syrian conflict now in its sixth year, said.

On Saturday U.S.-led coalition air strikes reportedly killed dozens of Syrian soldiers in Jebel Tharda, endangering a U.S.-Russian brokered ceasefire and prompting an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting as tensions between Moscow and Washington escalated.

A Syrian military statement said the plane had come down during an operation against Islamic State in Deir al-Zor and the pilot had died.

Islamic State-affiliated media said it had shot the jet down.

"A Syrian warplane belonging to the Syrian regime was brought down when targeted by fighters from the Islamic State in the city of Deir al-Zor," Amaq said in an online statement.

It really seems like we're the bad guys nowadays.

I wonder just how badly I've been brainwashed over the last 30+ years by US propaganda.

Should change the title to something like 'US Military Intervention, and Why the World Hates US' and turn this into a real thread.

Or maybe 'American Foreign Policy, guess which side we're on?'

Feel like foreign policy can go in the politics thread. Even just the American fucks up in Syria thing should probably be in either politics or the ME threads, but it can stand on it's own if we turn it into a Mil Ops thread in general.
