A U.S. strike aircraft shot down a Syrian government fighter jet shortly after it bombed U.S.-backed Syrian fighters in North Syria, the Pentagon said in a statement Sunday.
The Pentagon said the shoot-down came hours after Syrian government-backed forces attacked U.S.-backed fighters, known as the Syrian Democratic Forces, in the village of Ja’Din. As the attack unfolded, the U.S. military used a deconfliction channel to communicate with the Syrian government to stop the skirmish, according to the Pentagon statement.
U.S.-led jets stopped the fighting by flying close to the ground and at low-speed in what is called a “show of force,” the Pentagon said.
Roughly two hours later, despite the called-for stand down and the U.S. presence overhead, a Syrian Su-22 jet attacked the Syrian Democratic Forces, dropping an unknown number of munitions on the U.S.-backed force. A U.S. F/A-18 promptly shot the Syrian aircraft down “in accordance with rules of engagement and in collective self-defense of coalition partnered forces,” the Pentagon statement said.
A statement distributed by the Syrian military and distributed on Twitter said that the aircraft’s lone pilot was killed in the attack.
“The attack stresses coordination between the US and ISIS, and it reveals the evil intentions of the US in administrating terrorism and investing it to pass the US-Zionist project in the region,” the Syrian statement said, using an acronym for the Islamic State.

Well boutox is going full re which is not surprising.
Where's hater and our Russia trolls spinning this . That is a pretty tepid response to us blowing the out of one of their coalitions jets.
They only have 45 or so jets to begin with.
I have actually been hoping for this. The Syrians having been bombing the peshmerga for years and we finally started defending them. About ing time.

Sad that Russia shut down the security communication lines and promisedfireworks if ISIS airforce flies close to their bases.
Now any "accident" or confrontation is very likely.

That was aimed at raider and his quick jab
so calling sandy hook fake isn't trivializing (cause to appear unimportant) the massacre that happened?
be consistent chris
Piers Morgan would be proud of your approach. Where's Ben Shapiro when you need him? What did I say about Sandy Hook? Be specific and consistent please.
am istanding on the graves of dead children?
why do you need ben shapiro to defend your own position, are you a mute?
and shapiro doesnt go around pretending it was fake
there was a massacre. you pretend it didn't happen and it was imaginary/staged
by the definition you provided, you are trivializing it. oh, that shooting doesnt matter since it probably wasnt real anywayz. is that specific enough?
