Quote:Russia has warned the US-led coalition fighting in Syria that it will view its aircraft as targets, after a Syrian military plane was shot down.
The coalition said it had shot down the Syrian SU-22 after it bombed US-backed rebels in Raqqa province on Sunday.
Russia, Syria's main ally, said it was also halting communication with the US aimed at preventing air incidents.

It will be interesting to see if Russia and Syria, with their newly acquired SAM missiles, will now start targeting US/NATO aircraft. Question is, "Can Russian SAMs successfully destroy American aircraft?" WW III, anyone?
