Turkey shoots down "Russian Jet" near border

. . . . .
Let's hope we will see F16 vs Su30 action too.........
Do you even realize what you are wishing for? Such a confrontation would bring Russia and Turkey face to face which is not good for anyone.

Im a staunch and firm supporter and backer of Turkish great nation and their Armed Forces. But on this i must take a moral position. Russia is fighting ISIS - if NATO is serious about fighting ISIS (it isnt, it's supporting ISIS) then they would let the Russians do their job. Syrian govt. authorized them to be in Syrian airspace.

Proper protocol is to make radio contact and/or intercept the SU-24s and escort them out if they intrude Turkish air space despite warnings to desist. Shooting down the aircraft was a huge escalation and not necessary (my opinion). The poor pilot of that aircraft was hit by small arms fire by FSA/ISIS terrorists supported by Obama govt Qatar etc and others (France even). IS this right? Do these terrorists care a damn about Geneva Conventions? Russia has my support when it comes to anti ISIS operations and saving Syria from destruction. Russia and Turkiye need to quickly sit down and un-do the flames before they become on a direct confrontation course which would only help to serve ISIS (Daish). **** that. Dont lose focus from the mission!

Obama and USA - stop supporting ISIS!

Erdogan and Assad used to be great buddies lol, its too bad Erdogan got involved in Syrias problem. It was a mistake now Turkiye has to deal with millions of refugees and other mess. PKK and Kurdish forces are taking advantage of situation and vested interests in the region - they are fighting Turkiye too and making problems. What a mess! Anyways - as long as Daish ("ISIS") is targeted - whoever targets them has my 100% blessing and prayers. **** DAISH

A well observed post 100% agree , while Turkey was 100% correct (By the book) , however protocol was not followed for safety like 10-17 second warning for a pilot that does not speak English or Turkish , is not enough time for a pilot to react that they are in wrong territory

A regrettable accident and unnecessary loss of life

I don't think great danger was posed to Turkish Air space by the ground operation based Sukhoi plane

And merely , escorting the plane out would have been reasonable response to protect Turkish airspace and no escalation

If senior people here can wish for Nuclear strike on Turkey, then why can't I wish for a little dog fight???

They did many things in Afghanistan. The result, I suppose, you can remember. As for history, Russia invaded the Ottoman Empire during WW1 resulting in Bolshevik revolution. Let's see what the FATE has stored for us this time. However, I can say this much - the ultimate gainer will be China and Turkey. Off course the LORD knows the best. Note: this is nothing new for us. For the last thousand years we have seen much more extreme ups and downs. By HIS grace, we're still here.

Even if you did not shot the plane down this was the Russian plan from the begining . The Russians are modern day Nazis , killing and exterminating others is part of their culture . Unfortunate that such savages exist in our world .
