"Clear video footage has emerged purporting to show Syrian rebels shooting down a helicopter with a shoulder launched missile.
Amin, an avid reader of this blog, translates the commentary as saying that
the incident took place near the Nayrab airbase near Aleppo.
He points out that the
weapon used appears to resemble Chinese
anti-aircraft missiles highlighted in hands of rebels elsewhere by weapons
blogger Eliot Higgins on his Brown Moses blog.
Higgins suspects the rebels have gained access to a new supply of
Chinese-made anti-aircraft Manpads."
