Turkey shoots down "Russian Jet" near border

[madmusti]

This still doesn't equate with the Turkish line- that you hailed the Russian plane 10 or so times prior to engaging them?

+ 1km near the Turkish border is still not Turkish airspace, you stll have no authority to shoot them down. Even if it was 1km or 10km inside your territory, why shoot them down at all? Why not pursue this through diplomatic channels? Escalating this to force was a massive over-step by the Turkish side.

I only say that "Vladimir Putin" has said this officially, this is more confirming that the "Russian SU-24AB" was in Turkey then in Syria.

Erdogan's a reckless bastard that's trying to send the world into war. NATO should kick Turkey out before it escalates. This guy is unbelievable.

They will provide more weapon to Kurds. For Turkey, Kurds seem to be more threat than ISIL.

Turkey can also start to arm Ukranian forces... Russia know that they shouldnt play with Turkey!!!

Of course Russia wont exaggerate it for the people mentioned above.

Its Russian plane and Russian pilots who are down.. not Iranian or Syrian but his own...

Putin is smart ...

Yup, true, but if you consider the region where the plane was flying and operating, so you will know which backyard it is......

Russia has been so overreach

And from a secular progressive Muslim nation in to another veritable Islamic shit hole.. Fortunately Turkish people are still strong in their secular convictions to prolong it

Turkey has always been a economic power house give it's geo strategic position.. Erdogan haven't done any miracles

No it hasn't, in 2003 when Erdogan first became PM he inherited a $303 billion GDP by the time his PMship ended Turkey has become a trillion dollar economy. The economy has grown by $700 billion under his tenure, no Turkish leader in modern history has generated that much economic growth.

And from a secular progressive Muslim nation in to another veritable Islamic shit hole.. Fortunately Turkish people are still strong in their secular convictions to prolong it

You better watch your mouth, you come from a little s-hole island yourself. How has he turned Turkey into that? Turkey remains a secular country, with rule of secular law, what he has done is lifted strict restrictions on religions.

The Turkish airforce no doubt issued to warning before the Russian jet entered its airspace as its done according to the rules of engagement. Sorry but even if they didnt enter our airspace, the fact that they retained the flight path to Turkish airspace and only were "1km away"(which is an unrealistic joke claim by Putin) from the Turkish border shows they intented power projections, that shitt aint gonna fly with us. They did this twice in the past and we clearly stated that there wont be a next time when they dared such a thing again. Its their own fault so they should stop crying like children about it now. Let them Ruskies know, dont fvk with us.

You Turks fell into the trap!!! Now you gave Russians a reason and justification for massive military deployment!!
No wonder your pm is called a dumbo!!
Now EU will distance itself from you!!

Could not believe some of the things, why would the pilot in the SU-24 with the bombing configuration will ignore the warning of the Turkish F-16 again and again for 10 times, either they are mad, or they on the suicidal mission. Next time when the SU-24, or Su-34 pullback flies with the SU-30MKK try it once again, and see the result.

Reuters now also reporting that Turkmen rebels claim to have opened fire on the pilots as they descended with parachutes. The deputy commander of a Turkmen Brigade in Syria said both were shot dead. - Sky

Time for Russia to strike the Turkmen too

 

[A1Kaid]

If you have a good observing power you can go by disciplines and rules of engagement, you dont need to be a spokesperson for that. Its just that you dont need to keep a bias.

You don't know exactly what procedures were taken by the Turkish pilots and what rules of engagement they implemented. Don't try and sound too smart for your own good. Until that information is publicly available don't try to come on here and lecture anybody.

Like i said whats prolonging Turkey being turned in to another Islamic shit hole it's the Turkish people, Most who still hold on to values of Ataturk.. Even though Erdogan is trying his best.. Rest of you're vain threats are just empty farts of no value
