I can't feel sadness over a pilot and his WSO? They both been brutally executed.
No one is being heartless - but it is war.
you need to read some more books.No, it's pure savagery, it's disgusting, I feel the ultimate remorse for the families.

Turkey’s news agency Dogan repeats reports that Turkmen commanders have stated that their forces shot both Russian pilots while they were parachuting down, and that they have the bodies. It's one thing shooting them down, but shooting them while they are parachuting is beyond fucked up. Captured pilots are valuable for intel and as bargaining chips, killing them shows a complete lack of strategic understanding. I hope Putin retaliates.
Now that this has escalated to a NATO country shooting down a Russian combat aircraft, I have a question for you smart folks... what if al-Assad's government declares a "no-fly" zone over Syria and asks Russia to enforce it?
Seems like there's a fair amount of that going on in the region, by several parties....look powerless if they did then couldn't (or wouldn't) enforce it.
