Nesher 628 Posted September 23, 2014 I like they phrase it as "occupied Golan heights", the BBC needs to check how many British territories they mention as occupied? after 40 years, its ours... okay BBC, thanks! and to the topic, there are a bit mixed reports about the interception but it is confirmed that a fighter jet was shot down over the Golan the IAF and IDF spokesperson wrote it on facebook 12 hours ago.. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macelena 1,070 Posted September 23, 2014 The article says that it was the first Syrian jet downed by the IDFAF since the 1980s, but didn´t two Baz shoot down two Syrian Fulcrums just a couple of days after 9-11? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be more impressive if they use a .50 cal Barrett rifle attached to a glider... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macelena 1,070 Posted September 24, 2014 We had a 59 year old veterinarian drop a huey by throwing a stone at its tail rotor because it was freaking out his dog back in 1989. He argued in his defence his had arthritis and didn´t feel like throwing anything. Zohan could top that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
