A Russian rescue helicopter has been shot down by Syrian
rebels while searching for pilots missing after Turkey downed a Russian jet.
The helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing in
a government-held area in Syria's Latakia province.
A Syrian insurgent group, which uses U.S. Tow missiles,
said its fighters hit the helicopter with an anti-tank missile.
Video footage has emerged online appearing to show the
helicopter after it crashed in dense woodland.
Vladmir Putin earlier warned Turkey of "significant
consequences" after the Russian plane was shot down.
