Moscow plans to suspend military cooperation with Ankara after the downing of a Russian bomber by Turkish air forces, Russian General Staff representatives said on Tuesday. Further measures to beef up Russian air base security in Syria will also be taken.

Three steps as announced by top brass:
1) Each and every strike groups’ operation is to be carried out under the guise of fighter jets
2) Air defense to be boosted with the deployment of Moskva guided missile cruiser off Latakia coast with an aim to destroy any target that may pose danger
3) Military contacts with Turkey to be suspended

Sergey Rudskoy, a top official with the Russian General Staff, condemned the attack on the Russian bomber in Syrian airspace by a Turkish fighter jet as “a severe violation of international law”. He stressed that the Su-24 was downed over the Syrian territory. The crash site was four kilometers away from the Turkish border, he said.

Rudskoy said the Russian warplane did not violate Turkish airspace. Additionally, according to the Hmeymim airfield radar, it was the Turkish fighter jet that actually entered Syrian airspace as it attacked the Russian bomber.

The Turkish fighter jet made no attempts to contact Russian pilots before attacking the bomber, Rudskoy added.

“We assume the strike was carried out with a close range missile with an infra-red seeker,” Rudskoy said. “The Turkish jet made no attempts to communicate or establish visual contact with our crew that our equipment would have registered. The Su-24 was hit by a missile over Syria’s territory.”

Russia now plans to implement new measures aimed at strengthening the security of the country’s air base in Syria and in particular to bolster air defense.

Russian guided missile cruiser Moskva, equipped with the ‘Fort’ air defense system, similar to the S-300, will be deployed off Latakia province's coast.

"We warn that every target posing a potential threat will be destroyed,” lieutenant general Sergey Rudskoy said during the briefing.

The Moskva (‘Moscow’) missile cruise is a flagship vessel of the Russian Black Sea fleet and is one of the fleet’s two biggest ships. The cruiser was stationed in Sevastopol but left in summer 2015 after being deployed to the Mediterranean Sea where it joined Russia’s standing naval force in the Mediterranean.

Since September 30, the Moskva cruiser acts as a covering force for the Russian air forces in Syria while deployed in the eastern Mediterranean.

“All military contacts with Turkey will be suspended,” Rudskoy added.

Has the 3rd World War begun unofficially ?

Turkey could not have brought down any bird without the knowledge and backing of their allies. Nobody should expect Russia to go to bed over this incident.

Clarion call to the Nigerian Government and people :

* We should start factoring in a possible world war 2016 in our economic and developmental plans. Lately, the Republican incessant tag of Obama as being inferior to Putin is a tacit exhort for the America to re-exact her dominance on the globe.

One hope the Nigeria government are following events and trends and mapping out strategy for a possible global war.

We should be proactive in our security,economic and diplomatic readiness for the attendant effects of a big war.

You can be very sure the Nigerian govt has no plan for a possible world war in 2016.
All they're concerned about is fighting corruption (which is very important though), blaming political opponents, honouring every foreign invitation, praying, & wining the next election. This seems to be the template for every government that this country has had.

Nigeria is not known for any enduring foreign policy objectives.

Our leaders lack foresight. Nobody is ready to lay solid foundations for his successor to benefit/rubbish or build upon.

The relities of war is not about childish fantasies and hero worshipping. Reason like a rational adult.

Africa will be recolozed and its people forced into the worst form of slavery in the event of another world war.

If not for uncivilised plebean schleps like you, words would've be spoken in riddles.

It amazes why people keep praising Mr Putin. His thirst for global superstardom is gradually dragging the world into total chaos.
Not that he even have the resources to execute a conventional war with the world. He is banking on his country's nuclear arsenal.
These nairaland ignoramus think Africa will be left intact in the event of a nuclear holocaust.

Just imagine if the Russians were the ones wielding the kind of power that the USA has controlled since 1989.

With reference to Boko, you quoted the wrong person.

BTW, do you think Putin cares if Isis overwhelm the whole mid-east? The skinhead is only concerned about his stooge (assad) throne in Syria.
Look what he's done to Ukraine. I guess he's also fighting Isis there.

I thought Russia will go and invade Turkey, yeye! Make them try rubbish see.....beside turkey confidently shoot down Russia warplanes and Putin can't do a dime! So long as America support Turks

Putin or any Russian for that matter are not racial supremacists.

Putin got what he wanted in Ukraine and that is Crimea.

If you even know why they are fighting in Syria you will know it isn't about Assad but for setting a gas pipeline from Saudi through Syria and Turkey to Europe to undermine Russia's hegemony in European energy supply.

Ukraine was a route for Russia gas pipelines and the west propped up a fascist ultra right wing party to undermine Russia.

If you must know Ukraine has a vibrant ethnic German population just like Poland and the ruling party is actually fascist and neo nazi.


Google is there for you to reference.

Chai. Turkey don enter one chance be that o.

So in your minuscule mind, anyone with the slightest pro-american/western opinion must be a Muslim. When did Putin tell you that he is. A Christian?

It might interest you to know that America remains the only true and free home of predominantly conservative Christian evangelicals.

Why do you think islamist terrorists and there rogue nations sponsors (which include Iran, Arabs, N.Korea) are so earger to destroy the USA? destroy America and see the end of Christianity.

Now, how about we discuss this as hardline Christians...since you want to sound like one, and since such sentiment is your only ground for debate

All this window dressing means nothing,
if Putin fly too close to Turkey again,
his jet will get blown up.

What do you know about Tibet, south china sea, some philippino island, Mongolia (and other Chinese annexed territories); East Ukraine, south Ossetia and other Georgian territories annexed by Russia?

The fact that they were too weak to acquire territories during the era of colonialism doesn't negate current realities that these (arguably) rogue states have a dangerous quest for global domination pursued with the worst human right records.

Compare how Chinese companies treat their workers in Nigeria, with that of western owned companies. Maybe you can start moulding your opinion from there.
