Watch: Turkish-Backed Jihadists Attempt To Down Russian Jet Over Idlib With MANPADS
A new video released on Friday showed the Turkish military and their allied militants attempting to hit a Russian aircraft with an anti-aircraft missile in the Idlib Governorate yesterday.
In the short video, the Turkish forces and their allies militants can be seen on the roof of a building, where they later attempted to shoot down the Russian aircraft in the skies of the Idlib Governorate.
NEW – Video footage from yesterday shows #Turkey soldiers firing a MANPADS at a #Russia jet flying over #Idlib.
Hard to tell what model they’re using, but that’s academic – things are hotting up in dangerous ways between #Ankara & #Moscow in #Idlib.https://t.co/noy3E43oDr

As shown in the video, however, the anti-aircraft missile fails to hit the Russian aircraft that had just flown over their positions in what is presumably the eastern countryside of Idlib.
The Russian jet is seen deploying counter-measures seconds after the surface-to-air missile is fired.
