Turkey Shoots Down War Jet on Syrian Border

Russia as been doing this sort of thing for years. Entering others air space and coastal waters. They tried it with us with high flying surveillance aircraft. This time they were called out and dealt with. Turks don't give a spit about who it is who fly over their land after months of being warned, they will attack. They are an extremely well armed and aggressive military country. Ignore their warnings at your peril.
 
Russia should go all out invasion of the whole region and even obliterate Turkey who, if you do a little bit of research, are buying oil from ISIS(proxy funding of terrorism) AND nudging them in the direction of the Kurds.

Putin gets a very, very bad press. Mainly from British and U.S. media that dominate the world.

Russian air exploration halted with the fall of the soviet Union and resumed only a short period of years ago, where as the U.S. has been doing what media claim Russia is only doing for years in terms of testing boundaries....

And to be fair on Russia, Google a map of nato bases....they all strategically surround Russia and there are American missile sites in European countries bordering Russia.....what business does the us have putting missile sites in Europe? If I was Russian I'd be a little bit provoked by these actions. Also, Google US and Russian defence budgets......

Yeah like i mention momentum. If they were that far inside turkey yet still managed to meet ground in syria they evidently we flying back so why take em out. My mind is open. Given the bears track record they were sooo likely over nato territory, but they are currently fighting a common enemy even if their end result differs from ours. With that in mind i personally question the wisdom behind turkeys actions.

I'm fairly sure the Turks shot down the Russian plane because the Russians were attacking the Turkmen group in Syria who are being supported militatarily by Turkey. If the Russians were en route to bomb ISIS or the Kurds, the Turks would have left them to it. The fact that the Turkmen shot the pilots and blew up the rescue helicopter supports this.

cant understand the Turks with this one, the Russian jet entered Turkish air space for 17 seconds and at the time it was shot down it was well clear of any Turkish airspace and heading west so certainly no threat,if it was making a direct route to Istanbul then i can understand it but not in this case

It seems that, a few days ago, the Turks complained to the Russian Ambassador about the bombing of ethnic Turks (i.e. the Turkmen) in Syria. That does put a somewhat different light on things.
 
With his new war room and all that is going on, I'd say putin is up for it! So whatever the next course of action is its going to have an effect. No idea what Cameron will do , more than likely whatever obama says , which is nothing even though turkey is funding these barbaric bastards. It seems there is a lot more going on that we are not privy too, I dont know how deep this goes or where it will end but its not looking good at the moment.
 
Isn't the fact that in effect this was bound to happen? So many aircraft from so many countries flying around somebody was going to shoot something down. And Dave wants our planes in there !!?? Fuck me we lose a plane and 25% of the RAF is gone !!
