Lol.."Mechinacal failure" according to the government...after it had been hit that is. Rebels must have some new kit.

They get a hold of some old SA-7's or some of the newer SA-16's maybe? Doubt they did that with their AK's.

Sounded like a heavy gun in the background... some AA of some sort?

It wasnt shot down it was mechanical failure that just happened to coincide with the anti aircraft fire. Any news on the pilot? He wont get a nice welcome from the FSA.

Debka file is reporting that FSA has received a shipment of stingers, so maybe this is the result?

Well im guessing the USA through either Turkey or Israel (not the borders of Israel im guessing, lol).

edit. I guess Iraq's maybe a good place to smuggle weapons as well.
