Syrian Helicopter Immolates Before Crashing
Published 2 years ago
In February of 2020, footage was released from Idlib showing a Syrian helicopter, believed to be an Mi-17, catching on fire moments before it falls out of the sky.
The context of this footage is a little shaky, as the reports only come from one side of the aisle. According to the Free Syrian Army, the footage you're watching is the shoot-down of a Syrian Mi-17 that was flying combat operations over Rebel controlled Idlib in early 2020. If you watch the video, it's very apparent from start to finish that the helicopter has been hit by some sort of anti-aircraft weaponry. What that weaponry is however is still unknown.
One thing is for sure, it is highly unlikely that anyone survived the event.
