Hours ago, #Russia Air Force Su-25SM (06 RED / RF-95486) was shot-down by AA gun of moderate Jaysh al-Nasr Jihadists/ terrorists near #Idlib while was providing CAS. 06 RED was one of six Su-25s of #RuAF's 368 ShAP recently deployed from Sevastopol, #Crimea to #Hmeimim AB, #Syria

down thread:

Confirmed now, the #RuAF's Su-25SM with RF-96486 s/n piloted by Filippov Roman Nikolaevich is shot-down by MANPADS of Jaysh al-Nasr Moderate Jihadist group over #Idlib, #Syria. Most likely one of FN-6 MANPADS recently delivered by #Turkey is used to shoot down the 06 RED today.

"Most likely one of FN-6 MANPADS recently delivered by #Turkey"

Since Trump/USA cut off McCain's FSA, they have relied on Turkey to fund, supply and support them. Maybe in return, Russia can lend a little support to the Kurdish YPG...
