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). |
Turky is supporting the people that fired at the parachuting Pilots. Those are their sponsored anti Assad terrorists.
Given airspeed and tiny length of Turk airspace the Su24 might have flow through, there is no way ten warning were given while it was actually in Turk airspace. To small a space and to fast its speed for that to be legit.
Imo hope we may see Flankers going to town on the Turks fighter aircraft now.
