Israelis cited for Russia plane loss

– The Kremlin yesterday accused Israeli pilots of “premeditated actions” over the downing of a Russian plane in Syria last week, warning it will harm relations between the two countries.

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said Moscow would be sending an advanced S-300 air defence system to the Syrian military, as well as jamming communications of any military planes that attack Syria from over the Mediterranean. –
