They have a pretty good Air Force. In the last 20 years its come a long way. Syria is no match for the TAF.

No, silly, you're in England!  :old:

You're only invaded by grouse, and pheasants!

Anybody got details on what got shot down? MiG? Sukhoi?
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Beeb says it was a MiG, fighter-bomber.

There's a good couple of pics here, those in the know will be able to recognise it, I don't.

Don't bother with the vid, it's just a bunch of FSA types chanting Allahu-Akhbar.

Looks like a Mig 23 or 27.

The pictures are kind of misleading, doesn't appear to be crashing or burning. Just appears to be possibly firing rockets and pulling out of a dive.
