If one is that retarded to take a selfie at a restricted site, then one deserves whatever punishment is coming. However, there is another possibility to consider. It's possible this worker took this selfie for his own personal album, left the photos on his phone/computer which then was hacked...
A simplistic view on politics. No way they can pull it off? I bet your ancestors thought the same way on first contact with Europeans. Fast forward a few centuries later and the Europeans were ransacking your nation, eventually leading to the Century of Humiliation. Where there is a will...

It is possible that Turkey had no intention of buying the J-31, but is using it to pressure the Russians for a better deal. IIRC, they used the same tactic wrt HQ-9.
