#1 Russian Sukhoi jet fighters hitting ISIS targets designated by U.S. SOF targeteers, who knew? Gotta be some good training there somewhere. I have to wonder though.... how many of the Sukhoi pilot are actually Iraqi ?

Probably a good percentage. They've had a few months to get their crews up to speed.

I wouldn't discount Farsi and Slavic language speakers being among the rest, though.
