On October 31, a U.S. military helicopter crashed in the northeastern Syrian governorate of al-Hasakah, according to a number of opposition sources.
Citing a special source, the Jesr Press said the helicopter fell near the town of al- Shaddadi in the southern countryside of the governorate. Other sources reported that the helicopter crashed inside a base of the U.S.-led coalition located in the vicinity of the town.
According to the news agency, the helicopter burned for three hours after crashing. It was apparently destroyed in the accident.
Meanwhile, the Orient News said the helicopter crashed and burned as a result of a “technical error.” No human losses have been reported, thus far.

The U.S.-led coalition and the Syrian Democratic Forces, which control the area where the alleged accident took place, are yet to comment on the issue.
Several AH-64 Apache and UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters are known to be deployed in the U.S.-led coalition base in al-Shaddadi. V-22 Osprey vertical takeoff and landing aircraft are also active in northeastern Syria.
Technical error named Strela.
If these losses continue, the US will have to steal more Syrian oil with their ISIS pals.
This means world war. An attack on innocent US soldiers on our own soil in Syria. I urge UNSC to call in an emergency meeting to stop this kind of dictatorship violence against freedom which can lead to a complete destruction of our planet.
“On our own soil in Syria”… That’s the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard.
Your soil in Syria? You must be kidding, are you? Americans are occupiers of sovereign country. Get that? Great.
Finaly some really good news for a change, sad that no AmeriCunt War-Criminal/World-Terrorist Filth was killed or wounded.
Fat Amerikan tell big lie, Great Khan Know truth, the kishmish hellcopter shoot down by Russian brother mizile..4 fat stoopid Amerikan die…they must go from Syria and Arap land or become mamtu….hahahhaa
Genghis Möngke or Kublai?
Gotta break some eggs to make an omelette …
A few days later there will be a “training crash” somewhere on the opposite side of the planet and by a total coincidence the crew, who will be killed, will have the same names, ranks, and serial numbers of the crew of this “crashed”, totally not shot down, helicopter, who of course all survived.
I hope it was shot down.
