Turks Shoot Down Russian Fighter

Turks Shoot Down Russian Fighter[/size]


ISTANBUL — Russia and NATO member Turkey came head to head on Tuesday as Turkish war planes shot down a Russian fighter jet near the border with Syria, setting the stage for a possible Cold War-style confrontation between East and West.

Television footage showed the SU-24 going down in flames over the Bayirbucak region on Syrian territory. The two pilots ejected, their parachutes being clearly visible on pictures published by Turkish media.

Unconfirmed reports said both pilots landed in a region dominated by Syrian Turkmen, an ethnic group that has links with Turkey. The Turkmen live close to the border with Turkey and are considered allies of Ankara. Both pilots reportedly later died from injuries.

While the Turkish military released a radar map to prove that the Russian jet had crossed the border, the Russian defense ministry said no such incursion happened. Moscow also said the plane, traveling at an altitude of 6,000 meters, was brought down by ground fire, not by air-to-air missiles from another jet.

Just a few days ago, Turkmen commanders called for the delivery of anti-aircraft weapons from Turkey to be able to beat back Russian airstrikes. Turkish opposition figures accused the government in Ankara of failing to protect Turkmen in Syria.

Istanbul (CNN)

Russian President Vladimir Putin called the downing of a Russian warplane a "stab in the back that will have serious consequences for Russia's relationship with Turkey."

One of the world's most volatile regions was roiled further Tuesday when a Russian warplane went down near the Turkish-Syria border. Turkey said it "responded" to a plane after the aircraft repeatedly violated its airspace and ignored several warnings.

The Russian Su-24 crashes after being shot down by Turkish F-16s. Inset, a Russian pilot bails out near the Turkey-Syria border.


"Our plane was shot down on Syrian territory by an air-to-air missile from an F-16. It fell on Syrian territory 4 kilometres from the Turkish border.
It was flying at 6000 metres 1 kilometre from Turkish territory when it was attacked."

Violating Turkish airspace, isn't this what NATO and the US planes do all the time to Syria. Maybe its time Russia and Syria takes away NATO and USA privileges of using Syrian airspace.
