1. Information on pilots is different. I hope the guys are alive. 2. Ok. Then tell me who can make a decision to shoot down russian jet in 10 seconds? The command should be given to turkish pilots before thev volation then. Which again shows Turkey in a very strange light. 3. On the information we have in Russia, Turkish ministry defence don't gets on contact regarding the matter, even on the emergency lines. |
The instructions on what to do in case of airspace violations could have been given beforehand. And ten warnings should be enough, even if the violation is only a few seconds. If you violate the airspace even after ten warnings, you're practically begging to be shot down. In a normal situation I wouldn't consider even a longer violation very problematic, but Turkey has been warning Russia for a good while now about airspace violations, and the plane was warned enough times. In a tense situation with no respect for national borders, this outcome was only a matter of time.
That's of course assuming the plane really flew in Tuskish airspace. So far the signs seem to hint towards the plane flying in Turkish airspace, even if only for a short while.

Yeah. Basically a bunch of douchebags is hopefully going to lose support from whoever is supporting them (which is probably the west).
