MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's military says two of its airmen have died in Syria after their helicopter was shot down in Syria by fighters of the Islamic State group.

A Defense Ministry statement reported by the state news agency Tass said the incident occurred Friday east of the ancient city of Palmyra.

According to the statement, the two Russians were making a test flight in the Homs region with a Syrian Mi-25 helicopter that was carrying ammunition. It said IS fighters broke through Syrian forces' lines east of Palmyra at the same time.

The statement said the Syrians requested the crew help strike the IS fighters and the helicopter was shot down after the crew exhausted its ammunition and it was leaving the scene.

Putin doesn't care how many russian troops die in syria. The dead bodies and billions spent are just the cost of doing business to keep his BFF Assad in power. Putin has literally starved tens of thousands of russian citizens just because he was pissed that NATO sanctioned his actions in ukraine/crimea incident. You really think he cares about a few dead pilots in an active combat zone? :smmon:

Similar to how neither Bush or Obama care about how many US troops needlessly died in iraq, libya, afghanistan in support/opposition of whatever puppet regimes we have in the region. Things have been so much better since Ghadaffi, Saddam and Mubarak were removed. :kaboom:
