The Daily Mail is saying it was an SU-24.
|
|
Kremlin is acknowledging that it was a Russian jet and that contrary to what the Turks are stating, the plane didn't not violate Turk space. Seems like at least one pilot ejected, or both.
CNN. Let's get this party started. Chris |

I don't think the Russian air force can handle the Turks and continue the Syrian engagement at the same time. The Turks may be better pilots. Also, is that a gun kill in that video? I never saw a missile, and there was some "gun like" sound. They're proving that the Russians are not up to snuff, not enough seat time. |

Hmmmm, interesting....not sure if GD wants me to be happy or enraged about this though.

Video of dead Russian pilot ...full of snackbars

Turks and Russians have a long history of killing each other by the boat load. We should do everything possible to encourage this to continue. And then we all pretend to be busy when the SHTF and the Turks pull the NATO card. If Obama had any sack he'd say "why don't you call for Jihad instead of article 5 and let your new Islamist 'friends' help you when those Russian Strategic Rocket Forces start pointing those explody things at your cities, you fucks".

All kidding aside, how big of a deal is this. Is it a pivotal point? Hello me out here.

This whole God damned thing is going to get out of control to the point of no return.

All kidding aside, how big of a deal is this. Is it a pivotal point? Hello me out here. View Quote It'll get handled diplomatically. Russia has waaaay too much on her plate to deal with Turkey right now. Besides, NATO. Alot depends on who is right about where the plane was. The Turks are sensitive about the Turkmen population in Syria, and it's right on the border where Russia is bombing. Russia might actually be in the right on this one. But it'll all get smoothed over. Nobody is going to war over an ancient jet and one pilot. If they're proven to be wrong the Turks will cut a check to the pilot's family and halfheartedly apologize. If the Russians were wrong then expect them to continue to do exactly what they're doing and deny everything. |

Has the BlackLivesMatter crowd filed a formal complaint with the Turkish government and NATO for taking the spotlight off of them yet? |

Yeah, I probably would have evaded too considering they just shot me down. I doubt the welcome wagon was going to be a stretch limo with a hot tub full of strippers...... |

Maybe this will make Russia be a bit more careful about air space violations going forward. They've been bullying other nations and testing the limits for a number of years. It was just a matter of time until someone got tired of it and possessed the balls to do something about it. Whether or not the Russians actually violated Turkish air space today is another question, but we know there have been a few incidents already. At some point, things left to simmer may come to a boil. It is what it is.
ETA: Oh, and this is the much vaunted Russian Su-24, the same aircraft they claimed to have totally disabled (electronically) an Arleigh Burke class destroyer in the Black Sea. Yet in reality, those electronics couldn't even deal with a couple of export F-16s. |
