It's real, confirmed by Pentagon. Who knows how it was shot down, some reporter in Beograd says there was a hornet's nest of AAA going off to the north (which is where it went down) so could be a lucky shot or even mechanical failure. Serb TV is playing the tape every 5 minutes, so if they had the pilot they would be crowing about that. If he is running around he is in BIG trouble trying to evade and under the circumstances, I'm not sure how a rescue mission could go in since it is in the middle of a zillion Serb military bases. It would have to be swift and overwhelming. And the Serbs could try to do an ambush trap if they get him.

They also should drop some sort of monster magnesium bombs on the wreck. Well, this was to be expected. It is a war, after all.
