A video appeared to show forces shooting at the pilots with machine guns after they had ejected from the Sukhoi Su-24, which had been shot down by two Turkish F-16 jets for violating the country’s airspace. Gunfire can be heard as one of the rebels cries: ‘Don’t shoot, let’s capture them as hostages.’
