Based off of the Turkish radar image and flight path that is a lie. The area in question that the SU-24 flew over was 3 km. If the aircraft violated Turkish airspace it was no more then 17 seconds.
As for Turkey crying about airspace violations they regularly violate Greek airspace, Syrian airspace, and Iraqi airspace. Now with SU-30sm escorts and the s-400 any hostile Turkish aircraft can be shot down deep inside Turkey.
Iraqi Airspace violation of such you call is based on the agreement made with saddam regime, There is no violation or the new governments didnt as for a revise as well . Also we have right to hot-track the terrorists into iraq based on this agreement.
Syrian airspace ? Even we hit IS targets witout passing border.
Remember because of what the engagement rules are tightened, syrian shot down turkish fighter with no warning while off to international border ( But claimed to be extended on syrian side) "without warning " because they couldnt show any proof of warning a record or whatever. Even in 1st speech the Assad told he has no "information" on what happened probably some soldiers pampered by Russia in those times ,did it. ,
Come on everyone knows how Russian think themselves as " full of prestige" , even Turkey had meetings several times with them and indicated this point of airspace violation multiple times, and now one Douchebag pilot ignores the calls on emergency frequency which is even heard by passenger planes then Turkey is accused of shooting down? . Who gives Russian pilots to do Shortcuts over turkey ? Are their pilot disabled on turning around ? We should questionaire on the rather than just trolling by accusations on Turkey.
Neither S-400 nor a fighter plane can thouch a flying bird in the Turkish airspace as we are not intended on passing border, so everything is fine. Just a few weeks ago the same happened, and you trolls were moving around " ehehhee Turkey is scared of Russia and just warned the fighter cant do any else" now you saw we can do the things and pain the a$$ should be so deep till you cant relieve it.
The plane is warned since 30 miles as their direction was "toward " turkish airspace , 10 miles and 5 miles the warnings got more frequent reaching up to 10 in total, It was realized that they are not changing the direction eventhough it got sure they are passing the border and they are hit. Also they didnt identify themselves and we dont IFF system would give them a neutral sign, so should we know its a russian plane by visual contact? be realistic. Eventhough it doesnt matter whether its russian or syrian. The planes were already got the call but they were trolls as you to pass by Turkey's airspace, and crying like a kid once they are hit
Anyway just in hours we could release the radar flight path , it took russia to do a day and more and they came with a MS paint work shows F-16 TuAF had a sharp turn is about 100g
And weirdly Russian plane has flied as normally. They are aware of this fact and its so sad you fools are believing their lies.
