Turkey shoots down "Russian Jet" near border

Calling spade a spade.

More from Putin after his meeting with King Abdullah of Jordan. The Russian leader virtually accuses Turkey of supporting Isis in its sale of oil

We have long been recording the movement of a large amount of oil and petroleum products to Turkey from Isis-occupied territories. This explains the significant funding the terrorists are receiving. Now they are stabbing us in the back by hitting our planes that are fighting terrorism. This is happening despite the agreement we have signed with our American partners to prevent air incidents, and, as you know, Turkey is among those who are supposed to be fighting terrorism within the American coalition.

If Isis is making so much money – we are talking about tens or maybe even hundreds of millions, possibly billions of dollars – in oil trade and they are supported by the armed forces of an entire state, it is clear why they are being so daring and impudent, why they are killing people in such gruesome ways, why they are committing terrorist attacks all over the world, including in the heart of Europe.

Stepping up?? Into ww3 u mean?

Russia will increase its presence in Syria. Russia will challenge Turkish air power. Russia will use this as a media coup to curry sympathy with the West. This is the first step in Russia pushing back Turkish influence in the region. Who knows, maybe this is the first step of Turkey being excluded from NATO.

Dudes, We always need to underline some facts. There are hundreds of Turkish members in PDF talking How advanced Turkish Army is While you were talking How Ruskie antenes blind all Turkish aircrafts bla bla. You should put your heads some facts that Turkey is not a Georgia and It is told Ruski officials that Playing such stupid games with 12 fighters next to our borders for purely chest-thumping while bombing Turkmens a few meters to our borders While ISIS is locating all around them, will cause serious headache to them. If Russia has a plan, Turkey also has. If they want some action, They will receive their response ! The Third World countries can't comprehend the meaning of honor and proud issues of own flag waving inside of own borders, Even If It is the Russia against you ! We have told Ruskie officials that Keep your f@cking aircrafts away from our borders but They did not. It is the reason of such actions. We are ruling this region for centuries and We will keep ruling. Availability of Russia next to our borders playing such nonsense bombing games won't change any fact.

Turkish state television, TRT, released an image purporting to be a military radar representation of the Russian jet's flightpath (dotted red line) passing over the Turkish border (thick blue line).

Can any one comment on fact that sending an un escorted bomber near turkish airspace without fighter cover was plain stupid or what?

This would escalate things massively.No NATO member would defend crazy jihadists shooting to kill parachuting Russians.I don't like the Russians either but i wouldn't touch this situation with a 100 metres long pole.What the world sees is Russian airmen gunned down by crazies shouting "Allah Akbar".....good luck selling that in Washington,Paris,London.
We are well aware. When Greeks began murdering Turkish civilians in Cyprus. Nobody lifted a finger.

Highest priority for Russia is to destroy the so called "Turkmen", who are nothing but a fifth column of Turkey. I'm hoping to see more videos of white phosphorus employed. :devil:

You are crazy , why not tactical nukes. Russia used shrapnel bombs and Syria barrell bombs against Türkmens ,
thats WAR CRIME

Some Su-30 escort will very good.
or deploy SU 35s, it's strange this happened because when they first began their operations in Syria, SU 25s had flanker escorts in full A2A config.

Too many pages to read.

Russian jets locked their radars onto Turkish jets in the area before and they have violated Turkish air space before. Don't forget when they sent recon aircraft to Turkey's black sea coast during the recent Crimea incidents. Russia was insulting Turkey by violating its air space repeatedly and by bombing ethnic Turks right under Turkeys nose. They invaded Turkey's neighbor Georgia in 2008 and took over Crimea just recently. They are mainly bombing Turkish and U.S backed forces in Syria. These are all provocations.The only option was to give them a strong response and when they violated Turkish air space the opportunity was not missed.There is no way Turkey can be blamed for this.

Even if you say the Russian jet never entered Turkey then at least you have to admit that it is highly plausible especially if Putin claims it was only 1 km away from the Turkish border. :-)

Right step taken by turkey...
No action would have been seen as sign of weakness...

Nothing will happen ...russia will just need to back down..
Right brother! This is what I expected from the millet which produced likes of M M Alam. You have bravely fought Russian invasion in Afghanistan. Believing pilots cool increases as the altitude is gained further.
