"The head of state has given orders to send emergency ministry (teams) to Egypt immediately to work at the plane crash site," a Kremlin statement said.
Putin also ordered the government to launch a special commission "due to the catastrophe of Kogalymavia company plane in Egypt," the statement said.
An emergency ministry meeting shown on Russian television announced that teams of rescue workers along with the emergency minister, Vladimir Puchkov, will fly out to Egypt at 1300 GMT.
Russia's transport minister Maksim Sokolov and the head of Russia's air transport agency Alexander Neradko are also leaving for the site, Russian agencies quoted the ministry's representative as saying.
Russia's Investigative Committee said it had launched a criminal probe into any possible violation of air safety rules, a standard procedure when air crashes involving Russian planes occur. It is also sending investigators to the scene.
Russia's air transport agency Rosaviatsia said that the plane, an Airbus 321, was carrying 217 passengers and seven crew when it disappeared from the radar after taking off for Saint Petersburg from the Red Sea resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh.
It was operated by Kogalymavia, an airline carrying out charter flights for tourism operators, and operating under the brand Metrojet.
The charter flight booked by Moscow-based tourist firm Brisco, a representative of the firm told AFP.
In Egypt, military planes have spotted the wreckage of the plane in the Sinai peninsula and 45 ambulances have been directed there to evacuate the dead and injured, the government said.

A militant group affiliated to Islamic State in Egypt, Sinai Province, said in a statement it had brought down the plane "in response to Russian airstrikes that killed hundreds of Muslims on Syrian land", but Russia's Transport Minister told Interfax news agency the claim "can't be considered accurate". http://news.yahoo.com/egypt-loses-contact-passenger-plane-over-sinai-sources-071732582.html# Islamic State claims responsibility for Russian plane crash in http://news.yahoo.com/islamic-state-claims-responsibility-russian-plane-crash-egypt-141923681.html

Highly unlikely it was brought down by a MANPADS, at 23 minutes into the flight it would have been at an altitude out of range of a MANPADS. This is just an opportunity for the goat-fuckers at ISIS to get some free press.

are could this be a response for all-out war
Putin was looking-for all along. like a lot of boots on the ground

The response would be all-out war

Putin doesn't need a plane shot down for that when US SpecOps are in Syria illegally/unlawfully without the authorization/invitation of the Syrian govt.

I submit it's Uncle Satan itching to kick off WW4 and Putin is keeping them in check, both in Ukraine and Syria.

If you believe anything Bonesman Kerry has to say then you're in the same place as Mozart and 7th Dumpster believing what CIA head Brennan has to say. lol

Surely you posted this as comic relief, 'cause it's pure fantasy. Uncle Satan is strictly there to protect those (on the payroll)* trying to overthrow Assad.

*or perhaps they're hunting for the 4 or 5 'moderates' they spent $500 MILLION 'training'.
