The admission, by U.S. failed State Department stooge Mark Toner, came after a group calling itself Free Syrian Army (there are dozens of groups who call themselves that, it’s how they ‘qualify’ for U.S. taxpayer funding and weapons) posted a video showing they blew up a landed Russian helicopter sent to rescue the pilots illegally shot down by NATO member Turkey. They used a U.S. made TOW (Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided) missile. They can be heard shouting ‘Islamic’ slogans that are not associated with true ‘moderate’ rebels.
The Russian attempt to rescue their pilots was in vain as another insurgent group admitted on video that they shot the pilots as they were parachuting from the damaged Sukhoi 24, a violation of international law that the United States helped write (so much for the U.S. claim of “rule of law”). Not only did they admit to such a crime on video, but they also posted video of themselves shooting at the escaping pilots.
