The plane crashed in Syrian territory in Latakia's Yamadi village. One of the two Russian pilots who ejected from the jet was picked up by the Syrian army and is being taken to Russia's base there, Russia's ambassador to France said on Wednesday. Alexandre Orlov told Europe 1 radio: "One on board was wounded when he parachuted down and killed in a savage way on the ground by the jihadists in the area. "The other managed to escape and, according to the latest information, has been picked up by the Syrian army and should be going back to the Russian air force base." A Russian helicopter was also shot at on Tuesday as it took part in the search for the two pilots near the Turkish-Syrian border, opposition groups in Syria said
