A video has emerged from a Syrian rebel group which appears to show a Russian pilot immobile and badly wounded on the ground.
The footage was uploaded to the internet just hours after the Turkish military shot down a Russian fighter jet which the Nato member state claimed had breached their airspace.
A member of the rebel group claimed that the pilot was dead.
But those claims have been denied by Turkish officials – who say both pilots are still alive.
“A Russian pilot,” a voice is heard saying in the video, as a group of men gather around him.
“God is great,” another voice proclaims.
The video is thought to have been taken by a rebel group operating in the north-western area of Syria, where groups including Free Syrian Army are operating but Islamic State has no known presence.
Two parachutes were seen falling through the sky after the Russian jet was hit by explosives.
Moscow have yet to confirm the location or status of their pilots.
