| [AnNahar] Jihadist Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group (IS) fighters shot down a government warplane over the eastern province of Deir Ezzor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The IS shot down a regime warplane over Huweijet Saqer in Deir Ezzor province on Sunday, the Observatory said. The aircraft was downed after the air force carried out some 20 strikes against jihadist positions in the province which neighbors Iraq. |

| #3 You couldn't shoot down a Brewster Buffalo, they fell out of the sky all on their own... |

| #1 Piper Cub? Sopwith Camel? SE-5? Brewster Buffalo? Mig-15, 19, 21? Sukhoi-15? Yak-5? Hey fill in the details, if it was a Protopopov -10 that isn't much of a trick but if they shot down a Mig-29 that's a big deal. I'm leaning toward the deceased aircraft being something like an ANT-10 or something. |
