"This is for you guys!" - allegedly with these words undermined himself with a grenade Russian major Roman Filippov, whose Su-25 attack aircraft was shot down on February 3 over the Syrian province of Idlib. Something like this is heard on the network video. Vladimir Putin promised to assign the pilot the title of Hero of Russia. In Voronezh, where Filippov grew up and where his parents live, they intend to rename something in his honor. Still someone would explain to the widow and orphans of the Russian "hero", what he was doing in the Syrian sky and what for the boys for whom he went to the next world, writes on the portal Focus journalist Leonid Shvets.

Much more understandable is the motivation of Mahmud Turkmani, to whom the media of the Syrian opposition is credited with a successful shot from a portable anti-aircraft complex, who shot down Filippov's attack plane. Turkmany is called the commander of the air defense battalion of the combat group "Hayat Tahrir ash-Sham" - "Liberation Organization of the Levant", advocating the overthrow of the regime of Bashar Assad in Syria. The surname of the anti-aircraft gunner directly indicates its origin, Mahmud is a Turkoman, a Syrian Turkmen.

It was on the turcoman settlements that Su-24 struck another Russian "hero," Oleg Peshkov, whose plane was shot down on November 24, 2015 by a Turkish fighter. And it was the turcomans who shot down the pilot who descended on a parachute. And before the anti-aircraft missile found an airplane of Roman Filippov in the vicinity of the city of Sarakib, Russian aviation struck at the local market and the city hospital, as a result of which at least 16 people died. After such a prisoner, Filippov really had better not get.

So it was just Mahmud Turkmani who could rightly say, fixing the hit: "For the boys!" But he, like all the witnesses of the fall of the Russian attack aircraft, shouted: "Allah akbar!" Because these Russians are compelled to come up with some explanation for their participation in a foreign war, some "boys". People who protect their native land are easier with this, with God. "This is the least retribution that we can offer our people. The invaders should know that in our skies they will no longer feel at a picnic, "Turkmeni sources cite.

It would be possible to assume that the Russian pilot receives for his dirty work some serious money that would allow firmly propping up that door, behind which is the conscience. But no. Journalists of the St. Petersburg newspaper "Fontanka" were able to find confirmed information about the financial allowance of Roman Filippov. The major received on hands with all allowances about 100 thousand rubles a month - less than 1800 dollars. Apparently, bombing Syria among Russian pilots is considered by itself a great success, let them say thank you that they do not make them pay extra from their own. The Russian Ministry of Defense has already called journalists traitors. Still, to mold a major hero from the Major Filippov and a role model becomes even more difficult when it is known how cheap the country in the person of the managers on behalf of the boys evaluates the services of the pilot for the destruction of the Syrian population. "Meat" Putin's friend Bashar, inexpensive.

Vladimir Putin really lucky with the population. As there were no questions about the meaning of the introduction of troops into Syria, so there are no questions about their finding and death of servicemen after repeated reports about the final victory and withdrawal. There is a high willingness to die without asking too much. Against this background, the latest news about the awarding of medals to artists of the Great Moscow Circus for their participation in the military operation in Syria plays a special color: they came with performances at the airbase Khemeymim. The line between military men and clowns. Both those and other cheap and in assortment to services of boys. All the giblets that sometimes remain in a foreign land.

The saying "bomb Voronezh" after the death of Voronezh Roman Filippov received a new sound. Not his family was bombed, he bombed other people's families. And the result, consider the same, thanks to Vladimir Vladimirovich for the funeral.
