A fighter is shotdown near the border

[Blanc]

I'm having a hard time buying the Turkey story, it seems odd to have a Syrian aircraft violate her air space while at the same the Mig-23 is down under Syrian territory.

Let's see if SAA makes a move to relocate a few SA-6 batteries near the border in retaliation.

You sure it was a AIM-120 that was used and not a AIM-9 Sidewinder?


It's a beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile with active radar-guidance. The seeker-head alone is beyond the capability of many countries' defense industries.

It has to be. We again used the AMRAAM missile when we shot down that Syrian Mi heli. This time the target was a fighter jet (no matter how junk it is). Destroying the target is not the only objective. You must do it with tye safest way as we can never know what the enemy plane is armed with. So we cant keep approaching it till the Sidewinder locks on it

If you look at the map you can see how the pilot who was on a sortie in the Kasab area could have easily flown into turkish airspace. It is very difficult to bomb the town or border crossing without doing so.

On todays news, i read something like. ISIS put that threatening video 1 week ago. So basically it has been more than 3 days which they were suggesting they will attack if our soldiers won't pull out of the tomb in 3 days.......

Eeh? The ISIS will give itself a death sentence, if it ever thought to put a toe out of line with Turkey.


One tactic they - the Turks - can use is to support the moderate forces in Syria against the ISIS.

The interception was done by 2nd Tactical Air Force Command, 8th AJÜ (Main Jet Base, HQ of 2nd air force), 181st "Pars" Filo. Which means it was a F16 Block-40P LANTIRN.

Let this be a message for al that russian and china fanboys in the forum. Assad can go to putin.

Putin is contained and too busy with the West.

Here is what the Brits had to see:

F16 is 35 years old... whats your point.

Constant upgrades means that the F-16s are as good as the MiG-29s.

no need for all the celebration

Let's what Iraq can do to prevent an enemy from entering their country, and then you can lecture us about celebrating.

We might talk about celebration later on.

Turkish media: The Syrian jet moved into Turkish space
Syrian media: The Syrian jet didn't violate Turkish space, and it was in Syrian space only...

both medias: the jet fell inside Syria
Syrian media: pilot are rescued...

what does the Turkish media say about the fate of the Syrian pilots?

so lets say the Syrian jet did move into Turkey for a small amount of time and distance, it was only to bomb the terrorists that AKP erDOGan is supporting and allowed them to enter Kesab,Syria from Turkey... and yet Turkish members here complain that terrorism is going to hit them, well thanks to erDOGan supporting terrorism...

Israel owns a superpower to back them everytime mate, and we don't.

Update; It's said that there were two syrian fighters, after warnings one of them left the airspace and escaped and the other one kept closing and that's the one we shot down.

Pakistan will always be there for All Islamic countries In sha ALLAH Pakistan Is the Fortress of Islam and we will defend the Whole Islamic world IN SHA ALLAH
