Hours after a United Kingdom NATO plane was shot down by the Syrian Military, another attack was attempted on a NATO aircraft mobilized by the NATO Air Force Armaments Groups (NAFAG). The attempted attack targeted a German Eurofighter Typhoon, the same model as the aircraft previously shot down.

The attempted attack caused an engine failure of the German Eurofighter and it was forced to carry out an emergency landing on the main government-owned Damascus Mazzeh Highway. The highway is one street down from the President’s residence. No details have been disclosed regarding the condition and exact location of the German pilot but he is believed to be in the custody of the Syrian government.

Germany has been cautious on further interventions in Syria but the recent events might spur them onto further action.

Prime Minister David Cameron also recently commented on the tragic events in Syria. Will this provoke further NATO action?
