This is the map that Turkey released:

The distance shown inside Turkey's airspace is merely 3 kilometers.

Even if the Russian plane was flying with subsonic speed, it couldn't have been inside Turkey's airspace for more than 30 seconds at most.

Now, how could have Turks warned Russian plane 10 times in 5 minutes while being Inside Turkish airspace?

Reminds me of the 90s, when Turkey used to violate Iran's airspace dozens of times while claiming to bomb PKK, and it didn't stop until we sent some Tomcats and Mig-29s to Tabriz airbase. Using Turkey's logic. it was perfectly justified to shoot down Turkey's jets who violated our airspace not once, but various times.

this is a great excuse for Russia to check their strategic missile forces effectiveness and test their missiles with a conventional payload.

not sure those things can even carry conventional payloads but would be an epic show of force, the Turks will shit bricks once Russian mirvs start falling right on their border.

If Russia wants to hit back without "violating" anything, they will send MANPADS to PKK.

It will take time and iran will not allow that.
Faster way is to use tactical nukes over mountainous Turkmen regions in syria. US used it in iraq too. Kurds will eventually complete their own way to Afrin.
NATO of course will condemn russian use of tactical nuke.

US warplanes destroy 283 fuel trucks in Syria

Washington (AFP) - US warplanes have destroyed 283 fuel tankers that were being used to transport oil to help fund the Islamic State group in eastern Syria, officials said Monday.

The huge air raid is another milestone as the US-led coalition intensifies its campaign against the jihadists and focuses on their oil-smuggling infrastructure, estimated to net the group some $500 million a year.

Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis said the strike occurred Saturday between Al Hasakah and Dayr Az Zawr in the east. It came less than a week after another, similar strike destroyed 116 IS fuel trucks.

Just as in that earlier case, US jets on Saturday first conducted a low-flying "show of force" over the trucks, then dropped leaflets telling drivers to flee.

The Pentagon says that while the trucks were being used to support the IS group, the drivers themselves were not thought to be jihadists.

US A-10 air-to-ground attack planes and AC-130 gunships then destroyed the tankers, Davis said, adding there had been no reports of civilian casualties.

"We have very methodically gone through this to ensure that we are doing this in a way that is humane and not going to cause civilian casualties," Davis said, while "also recognizing the fact that these trucks are an integral link in the revenue stream that is providing revenue ... to ISIL."

Russia, which is conducting a separate air campaign in Syria, claims to have destroyed dozens of fuel trucks and has declared a "free hunt" for any trucks carrying oil "belonging to terrorists" in IS-controlled areas.

A US military spokesman said that in the earlier US strike that destroyed 116 trucks, the leaflets dropped stated: "Get out of your trucks now, and run away from them.
