Vladimir Putin slams Turkey for shooting down Russian warplane near Syrian border

[AnABCD?]

Russia isn't a superpower and hasn't been for a long long time. They have a lot of nuclear weapons and..well that's really about it. If Russia went full retard and used nuclear weapons, it would also result in retaliation that would end them as well. In a conventional war in Turkey's backyard, Russia is outclassed easily.

WHat r russian scumbags doing in northern syria where there is 0 ISIS presence. Vladimir lunny tune have no business in syria and its time he realizes that.

Turks must apologize or pay for the loss and swear do not ever sponsor ISIS.

WHat r russian scumbags and their chinese masters doing in syria?

But I thought rebels are the legitimate representative of Syria according to saudi fanboys, how come they are acting like savages by shooting dead the Russian pilots. I knew it, rebels and isis are always one. Russia must not spare a single rebel-held village, every single one must be burned.

SO shouldn't rebels shoot down the aggressor. RUssian scums r the real savages in syria backing the rat @sshead.

Syria rebels say they shot, killed one Russian pilot as he parachuted, fate of other pilot unknown
The Associated Press Posted: Nov 24, 2015 3:22 AM ET Last Updated: Nov 24, 2015 8:17 AM ET

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called Turkey's decision to down a Russian warplane near the Syria border a "stab in the back."

Speaking at a meeting in Sochi, Russia with Jordan's King Abdullah, Putin on Tuesday accepted his condolences on the death of a Russian pilot who was reportedly captured and dead.

Putin said the Russian SU-24 jet was shot by a missile from a Turkish jet over Syria about one kilometre away from the Turkish border, which he described as a "stab in the back by the terrorists' accomplices."

Putin warned that the incident would have "significant consequences" for its relations with Turkey and criticized Ankara for turning to NATO to discuss the incident instead of first explaining to Russia what happened.

Turkey claimed that its F-16s fired on the Russian plane after it violated its airspace and ignored several warnings.

Video footage of the incident showed a warplane on fire before crashing on a hill and two crew members apparently parachuting safely.

Jahed Ahmad, a spokesman the 10th Coast Division, an insurgent group in Syria, said its forces fired at the Russian pilots as they descended. One was dead when he reached the ground, Ahmad told The Associated Press.

The group released a video showing gunmen standing around a blond man in aviator gear whose face was bruised and appeared dead.

The fate of the second pilot was unknown.

The North Atlantic Council, NATO's governing body, called a meeting requested by Turkey, an alliance member. "The aim of this extraordinary NAC meeting is for Turkey to inform allies about the downing of a Russian airplane," said Carmen Romero, NATO's deputy spokesperson.

Turkey's private Dogan news agency said two Russian helicopters, flying low over the Turkmen Bayirbucak region, searched for the two pilots.

"This isn't an action against any specific country. Our F-16s took the necessary steps to defend Turkey's sovereign territory," a Turkish official said in an email. The official cannot be named because of government rules that bar civil servants from speaking to journalists without authorization.

The official said the Russian plane was first warned that it was within 15 kilometres of the Turkish border, and the aircraft then crossed over Turkish territory.

Turkish officials released what they said was the radar image of the path the Russian plane took, showing it flying across a stretch of Turkish territory in Turkey's southern-most tip, in the region of Yayladag, in Hatay province.

Repeated warnings
A Turkish military statement said the plane entered Turkish airspace over the town of Yayladagi, in Hatary province.

"On Nov. 24, 2015 at around 09.20 a.m, a plane whose nationality is not known violated the Turkish airspace despite several warnings (10 times within five minutes) in the area of Yayladagi, Hatary," the military said before the plane's nationality was confirmed.

"Two F-16 planes on aerial patrol duty in the area intervened against the plane in question in accordance with the rules of engagement at 09.24 a.m."

It said the plane was warned 10 times within the space of five minutes.

A human rights monitoring group said the plane went down in Latakia, although the Syrian government claimed it occurred in a different region. (Google)

"It's the kind of thing we've been warning about," said Ian Kearns, director of the European Leadership Network think-tank in London. "And it's a direct military engagement between a NATO country and Russia, so I think it's a serious incident in anybody's book."

On Friday, Turkey's Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador demanding that Russia cease operations in Syria targeting Turkmen villages, saying the Russian actions did not "constitute a fight against terrorism" but the bombing of civilians. Ambassador Andrey Karlov was warned during the meeting that the Russian operations could lead to serious consequences, the ministry said.

Syrian troops have been on the offensive in the area that is controlled by several insurgent groups including al-Qaida's branch in Syria, the Nusra Front, and the 2nd Coastal Division and the 10th Coast Division that includes local Turkmen fighters.

Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the warplane crashed in the Turkmen Mountains region in the coastal province of Latakia.

The Turkmen Mountains region has been subjected to a government offensive in recent days under the cover of Russian airstrikes.

Three Russian journalists working in Latakia province suffered minor injuries when a missile landed near their car on Monday, Russia's Defence Ministry said. They were being treated in a military hospital.

Last month, Turkish jets shot down an unidentified drone that it said had violated Turkey's airspace.

Turkey changed its rules of engagement a few years ago after Syria shot down a Turkish plane. According to the new rules, Turkey said it would consider all "elements" approaching from Syria an enemy threat and would act accordingly.

Following earlier accusations of Russian intrusion into Turkish airspace, the U.S. European Command on Nov. 6 deployed six U.S. Air Force F-15 fighters from their base in Britain to Incirlik Air Base in Turkey to help the NATO-member country secure its skies.

Turkey is not iraq or syria or iran.. it has a good conventional power which can give hell of a fight to Russian's .. Russian's are indeed much larger power..but right now they are in no position neither financially nor militarily to attack a country like Turkey.. Nothing's Gonna Happen

LOL @ Russia outclassed easily by Turkey. Muslims truly are brainwashed by their religion.

Russia has the 2nd most powerful conventional military. They have weapons no one except the US has. Not even China has some weapons Russia has.

In a conventional war, Turkey will be bombed back to the Stone Age. Whatever damage Turkey thinks it can cause Russia, Russia will give it back 10 times worse.

Turkish military is weak with very few numbers of weaponary. They will never be able to sustain a war with Russia.

No Muslim country can take on Russia.

Turkey is an incredibly weak military, it's conventional military is beyond a joke compared to the might of the Russian military.

Russia has faced far worse financial and military adversity and come out winners.

and how exactly is Turkey "incredibly weak military"? Turkish navy is far better than Russia's black fleet for example
Turkey eventhough has a smaller air force can defend easily defend it's air borders against Russian air force that would have to travel a long distance to even get close to Turkey.

then there is also a problem of Russian troops even getting to Turkey, Russia can't sustain a war against a powerful country like Turkey so far from it's borders They would have to dedicated most if not their whole military for the cause
leaving their borders with NATO wide open.

the only country in the world with such capability is US.

This is an interesting video.

Lol the blogger is a moron that believes any article he finds online

No one's going to war over it. You can mark my words. The jet was documented to be violating Turkey's airspace, there are all the legal proofs and radar tapes, warnings recorded, etc.

The real question is, what were the Russians thinking and why was the jet allowed to troll over Turkey's airspace without Russian GC instructing it to leave? OR, the pilots themselves responding to one of the warnings and letting them know that he made a mistake and he'll go back to Syria? How would Pakistan react if an Indian MKI came inside Pakistan and trolled for 10 minutes? This is almost as if the Russians wanted this to happen. Unlike a country is like Iraq, Afghanistan or Syria, i.e. without a proper air defense system, no country would allow it.

Do you "really" think that the jet was "unidentified"? Do Turkish AD or -16's (all US equipment), FOF systems not recognize the SU-24??? They say it was "unidentified" because the pilots weren't responding on purpose. The idea was to do this today, make the Turks chicken out and not respond, and tomorrow half the squadron would be doing it. No sovereign country would allow that. Its a sad event because the Russians lost a comrade, but I also want to blame the responsibility where it goes. 10 minutes, recorded warnings, and radar plots are recorded and 10 minute is TOO much time to allow an enemy or hostilr aircraft to play inside your airspace.

Russia will probably resort to Arming Kurds, but there won't be a direct military response. TRUST ME. Also, the Russian jets will maintain a 10 mile distance going forward . This was a tough step and it had been pending for a while. But Turks had to take it, they had no choice left. Otherwise, the Russians would troll them from Syria and Iran, both sides and imagine the consequences of that!!
