ISIS shot down Russian Airplane?

[Horn6721]

ISIS is taking credit for that Russian plane that crashed in Egypt.
Retaliation
Putin will not be drawing any red line

Let Russia kill as many as they can.
But if ISIS shot it down how would the pilots have time to radio problems?

Tragic.

It was at 30k feet?
I dont think you can hit that high with a shoulder held missle

 

[Mr. Deez]

I'm very skeptical of this story. I don't see ISIS having the ability to pull this off.

Unless they snuck a bomb onto the plane before takeoff I don't see them having the capability to take down the plane.

The wife of the Russian co-pilot is saying that her husband often complained about the poor condition of the planes he was flying and complained again just prior to this fateful flight.

We've heard that"In war,truth is often the first casualty."

Is it OK to "profile" baggage handlers?

I am sure No one is shocked . I need to change the title of the thread to ISIS takes down Russian airliner.
The first ISIS tweets taking credit for it showed men standing in front of a launcher as if they had fired .
Russia has already retaliated. I do not think ISIS can win in a peeing contest with Russia. Putin ain't no BO

Why anyone would travel to the Middle East for vacation at this point is beyond my comprehension. There are large groups for ME men that want to kill anyone who is not like them.

So, what will Russia's response be? Mossad-like? Egypt clearly has no ability to control the ISIS elements.
