Breaking News: Turkey Shoots Down Russian Jet For Violating Its Airspace by duketunde: 11:34am On Nov 24, 2015
A major international crisis is brewing between Turkey and Russia as Turkish military earlier today shot down a Russian war plane near its border with Syria, Ankara and Moscow confirms.


The Russian Sukhoi Su-24 jet was shot down by Turkish F-16 fighter planes on Tuesday morning after violating the country's air space and ignoring nearly a dozen warnings, army officials said.

However, Russia's Ministry of Defence claims the jet was in Syrian airspace, and was shot down from the ground.
Footage shows the plane engulfed in flames as it comes crashing down in Syria's Turkomen Mountains, an area which has been the cause of recent tensions between Turkey and Russia. See more at - http://www.duketundesblog.com/2015/11/breaking-news-turkey-shoots-down.html

Yes, a country need to protect her territorial integrity,but wisdom need to be applied when doing that.

This is a total senseless act from turkey. When things go south. NATO that is cheering her,will not be their to save her ass.

This ferosity of stupidity that the turkish government is exibiting. Will soon plunge her into reality of regret. They are diplomatic means to settle this issue,but the megalomoniac of a president have choosen rascibility over common sense.

This is the same turkey that constantly violates syrian air space on her quest of bombing kurds. They'd better prepare for karma.

On the flipside: it may be that the plane was downed by by shoulder fired surface to air missiles provided to Al Nusra Front by the CIA. Same scenario with how CIA armed mujahideen in Afghanistan to down russian jets.

Turkey knows perfectly well that that aircraft presented no threat to Turkey. It was shot down because it was attacking ISIL terrorists operating in Syria and near to the Turkish border. Turkey shows which side it is on.

Turkey should continue shoot down any violator. Putin cannot be supporting a murderer and butcher and still have the audacity to poking the eyes of others. Whatever Putin intends to do he should look closely at the soviet union and remember how mere cavemen brought down such abomination with ease no sophisticated weapons.

Syria is a failed state habouring isil and other terrorists while at the same time inviting terrorists to kill its citizens. Russia should shoot down any plane and see how it gets what is coming to it.

If Turkey has shot down a Russian aircraft this is an outrage which will have far reaching conseqences. They are clearly the main supporters if ISIS along with their NATO allies which together have enabled ISIS to stockpile trillions of dollars in oil revenues and supplied them with arms all with the sole aim of deposing Assad. The world needs to wake up and unify before this gets completely out of hand.

So lemme get you well. Russia "violated" Turkish airspace, Turkey shoots down Russian plane.

All fine and good!

The gentleman has then asked you can Russia go ahead and mete out the same treatment to Israeli, American, Canadian, Turkish, French, British, Jordanian, Saudi and Emirati aircraft that violate Syrian airspace with abandon?

All you can do is spew vitriol and grandstand daring them to do so! Lol! Not surprised he ignored you.

By my on calculation. I don't think russia will want a direct confrontation at the moment.
www.nairaland.com/2760086/russia-deploys-missile-cruiser-off Considering the fact that NATO is conscious of possible russian retaliation.
By going through putin's statement. You will deduce russian stand on this saga.www.nairaland.com/2759443/russian-president-vladmir-putin-speaks russia will get her own pound of flesh,but it will not be now. It will strike militarily when the storm is calm and NATO is less consciouse. At the moment,it will thread the path of economic sanction,while it lay trap militarily. I foresee assad declearing no fly zone on turkish syrian border. This will give russia leverage to toast any turkish plane in sight conducting strike against kurdish YPG or her sabotaging bombing advanture against ISIL.

The tactical nuke team is heading syria just incase.

Well noted and resoundly analysed, soulja.smiley i think Russia would go for the second option-let the storm calm down a bit. Keep them in suspense, and just as Ankara thinks it has had its way, then gboooom......the sucker punch. I tell ya, sleepless nights will increase right now in Turkey. I dont expect a Russian direct retaliation against Turkey, plus the fact that this might just open up options like a Syrian government issuance of a no fly zone in Syria to be enforced by the Russians in bed with France who have not hidden its loathing of Turkey at anytime. The Russian retaliation may most likely be covert, but make no mistake about it, this will mark the end of Turkish air violations of Syrian airspace, cause anytime they will enter from now, it would be suicide. They wont even recieve a warning.
Erdogan fvcked up big time. He just started a game he can not finish.

I only hope that this should not lead to something more sinister.

I don't catch your drift. Are you saying that the stakes are too high hence Russia wouldn't do something as siilly as shooting down planes unauthorized to fly in Syrian airspace? No, they won't - expect if such a craft poses a direct and immediate threat to the Russians. They aren't gung-ho like Americans

I trust Putin to be a smart, pragmatic and patient man. There will be no brash reaction; rather he will could hit Turkey where it really hurts - tourism (already happening), arming the PKK, covert assassinations, increased and no holds barred bombardment of these Turkmen looneys and their black market crude oil lifeline, etc.

Russia is already on the right path to victory and Erdogan is sorely mistaken to think this outrageous provocation will get Putin to do something stu.pid or ostentatious to show just how "tough or fearless" he is.

So if you have been rubbing your palms in glee expecting to see Russia draw in more troops into a Syrian quagmire or the break out of a hot war between Turkey and Russia - and NATO consequently - I am afraid you'll be sorely disappointed. tongue

Someone give this Russia Hasbara trolls some cake, their songs are changing script, Putin is no longer that mean guy who steps on toes with no fear, now he is a calculative guy who takes his actions. Lol this thread is rich in despair. Wailing just went international.

Yes

Putin and erdogan are two individuals cut from the same cloth. They play "strongman politician". Will you be saying the same thing if it was the other way around? Or putin can show how strong he is and Erdogan should not?

How is Russia on the path to victory exactly?

I already stated that no hot war will happen even thou pro russian trolls said russia will bomb Turkey in retaliation and nothing will happen.
