Turkish AH-1 eats Russian MANPAD

[Orgasmo]

Here is what Turkey's "official" version of the story is:

Official Turkey reported that : “The Cobra aircraft, taking part in the counterterrorist operation, crashed at 2:50 GMT in the Hakkari province due to a technical failure, according to the general staff. Both pilots were killed in the crash.”

Getting hit by missiles do have tendency to cause technical failures.

If Russia directly or indirectly gave the Manpads to the Kurds it sounds like the Russians want the Turks to know they are getting payback.

Russian heat seekers are so damn effective, did you see where that hit? right below the engine.

You think the Turks will be given the green light to give MANPADS to jihadis.

Israel and the US will be very resistant to the idea.

The PKK can do some serious damage if they now have anti air weapons, they might even start officially taking territory.

Turkey and Russia are pissed off at each other so Russia gives weapons to Kurds, Kurds take down a chopper.

That's what I thought. Title to me almost implied that Turks ate as in destroyed Russian thing or whatever a MANPAD is.

I'll be honest I hope Turkey breaks up. They are an embodiment of out of control Hitler type power and regional aspirations. Not to mention the genocide and ethnic cleansing they committed against the Armenians, and Greeks and the current persecution of innocent kurds.

Its MANPADS

man portable air defense system, basically shoulder fired AA missile.

Since MANPADS sound plural some people call a single MANPADS a MANPAD.
