    Turkey really shoots down a SU-24 today

    Interesting!

    Turkey claims they warned the mig to go back over the border.

    What will Vlad do next?

    They didn't really shoot it down for violating their airspace. They shot it down because it was attacking a rebel group in Syria that they support.

    And since Turkey is part of NATO you can bet that won't end well. Turkey's actually backing ISIS because they're more worried about the Kurds.

    Yeah, wow. Looks like there's video of it. And it isn't good.

    I mean, it isn't good from the Russian perspective. And frankly, there could be a few upper ranking officers that are sitting bricks right now.

    I'm tired of turkey. They aren't a good ally to us. They've supported terrorism and didn't support us launching attacks from their country even on Afghanistan without serious arm twisting. The whole middleast is a **** hole that we either need to contain, destroy, or get the **** out. Nothing real will be done until a strong republican takes office who's proud to be an American and vanquishes our enemies

    Yeah, I would've preferred the other one, but this is specific to the shoot down, I think.

    A spokesman for the US-led coalition against Islamic State, Col Steve Warren says it can confirm that the Turks warned the Russian plane 10 times before shooting down the jet.

    He said they were working to establish exactly where the plane was when it was shot down.
