Ankara, July 14 (IANS/RIA Novosti) The Turkish military has backed down from its previous claim that its fighter jet was downed last month by Syrian forces.

"The actual cause of the incident will be established after the plane wreckage is raised from the seabed," the General Staff of the armed forces said in a statement.

"No traces of explosives or flammable products were found on the debris recovered from the sea," it said.

According to media reports, the F-4 Phantom probably crashed due to human error after the pilots failed to perform an evasive manoeuvre to avoid the Syrian missile.

Syria insists it engaged the F-4 Phantom "according to the laws that govern such situations" after it strayed into its airspace. Turkey says the plane was in international airspace.

Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoebi has said his country's forces may have mistaken the Turkish jet for an Israeli one.

:smokin: it's embarrassing for Erdgoan that his jet was shot by Syrian AA guns.

Nobody says anything like that, just some people claims it.

There was no missile shot at all, it was only Anti- Aircraft guns, the plane was hit easily because it was sol close and low altitude.
 
Thats what Syria claims, still no proof.

Turkey just said the same thing,
Further adding to uncertainty over the plane's fate, the armed forces statement declared no traces of "petroleum-based, combustible or fire accelerant substances, organic and inorganic explosive substance residues, or any kind of ammunition" were found on debris from the wreckage floating on the sea's surface.

so it was shot down by ??? AA gun?
 
I told you nothing is said yet, what they said there is no traces yet because examine of remainings and researches is still continuing.

There still isn't a proof about the fate of plane, I'll believe a claim if its supported by strong evidences.

fair enough, i respect that. and now can you explain to me that picture ?
 
Whats wrong with the picture ?

I don't know when or where is that pic is taken but could be related to Turkish-Israeli modernization program of F-4s which as far as I know done in 2002.
 
Turkey failed very very hard in this. I hope this will be the end of AKP also.
 
Hey,arab cat, a few weeks ago you was arguing the reliablity of the Turkish media and the state; what changed now for you to think otherwise Einstein.

Seeing you believe in us this much, i decided to add a point you have not included.

It is 100% certain now that the plane was not shot with an AA gun, but something else; after the examinations are finished, they will determine how the plane was shot.

"No traces of explosives or flammable products were found on the debris recovered from the sea,"= You know what this means? This statement shows that the plane was unarmed, YOU CAT.

I don't give a dam about you or you're country, but when you attack and insult my country things change; i don't give two shits to be honest, if it was for me i would not even allow the fleeing people FROM SYRIA in to my country. Before meowing here you should vote for a leader that would stop the arabs coming to Turkey--OW, I forgot you don't have the power to do so.......

That picture makes me laugh; just because you arabs don't like jews, it does not mean we should not be allies with them.
Atleast the jew's say what they think, you lot are the type of people who talk behind doors.
 
MrTopal, why does US not give any information about it? US and Russia exactly know what happend.

Apparently, both the US and Russia gave Radar records to Turkey; right now, a commision is looking at them....

But ofcourse these sources are not reliable....

But why did Turkey made such a statement in begin while the US and Russia's has different satellite images that can change the whole scenario? Turkey handled very amateur and i hope this will be the end of AKP. If not in total, i hope it will be the end of Mister Davutoglu that gave wrong information to us and the world and pushed almost Turkey in to a conflict because of this.

Forget all this; Turkey showed it's weakness by no attacking. Look, If a isreali plane was shot, their first reaction would have be an airstrike. Turkey should of carried out an airstrike to then say 50-50. Then we should have called NATO for aticle 4 and all that crap, the goverment is doing now..

The plane was probably not even shot down by Syria and you say that Turkey must have attacked Syria? What after that the statements are showing that it was a Russian attack in order to defend its territory? The image of Turkey would be destroyed in total then because the fact that Turkey cant do anything agains Russia.
