Plenty of US aircraft downed over the years. Normally were downplayed diplomatically as there was usually a lot of embarrassment for both sides. Some losses also remain unreported apparently. Impossible now in the era of information and rolling news etc...Originally posted by Goose View Post

And they're gone! Or at least some of them anyway. The naval base and air base appear to be staying. Whats Putins plan here I wonder.

With recent events in Turkey and the potential for more trouble in the near future and an escalation in Turkeys involvement, it might also be a chance for Russia to step back. Take the heat of Russia for a while, let Russian / Western relations cool / improve for a bit and any set backs or breakdowns on ceasefires will be blamed on others. It's an interesting development anyway.Comment

I sniff an offensive in support of another land-grab on the eastern fringes of territorial ukraine."He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."Comment

the Russians will still keep their naval base in Syria and I reckon they must have been paid their Syria bill by Assad, otherwise they wouldn't leave. they're gangsters, after all.Comment
