US Navy pilot explains how he shot down a Syrian fighter jet

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Sounds like the Syrians decided that neither the U.S. nor Russia get a say in who they bomb, and needed to have it explained to them using terms they could understand that bombing those we are allied with is not in their best interests. Apparently it causes explosive loss of structural integrity on their fighters.

How did he shoot him down? It was pretty much "point and click" wasn't it?

Man, one of the few Navy guys here played the CDR and Senior Staff a video from the cockpit. I thought the Navy guy was going to tent his flight suit! LoL
