MOSCOW- The Kremlin said Monday that shoulder-launched missiles obtained and used by rebels in Syria were a huge danger to all governments after a Russian warplane was shot down there at the weekend.
Russia's Defense Ministry has said that the aircraft, a SU-25, was downed in Syria's Idlib Province Saturday and its pilot killed on the ground after he ejected.
Speaking to reporters on a conference call, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday it was too early to say who had supplied the weapons system which rebels had used to shoot down the plane, but that it was extremely worrying that such rockets were falling into the hands of "terrorists.
