Russia's military reported that two of its airmen have died in Syria after their helicopter was shot down in Syria by ISIS fighters.
A Defense Ministry statement reported that the incident occurred Friday east of the ancient city of Palmyra.
According to the statement, the two Russians were making a test flight in the Homs region with a Syrian Mi-25 helicopter that was carrying ammunition, as ISIS fighters broke through Syrian forces' lines east of Palmyra. After Syrian forces requested the Russian crew help strike the ISIS fighters, the Rusians' helicopter was shot down after the crew exhausted its ammunition.
