USA tells that russian jet was in Turkeys air 'for seconds'.Ten warnings, you say?

Warnings are given if an airplane within a certain range of Turkish territory starts heading for Turkish territory.

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.

They apparently have two checkpoints before you enter Turkish airspace. They start warning as you approach 10km and scramble jets at 5km. They only fire once you enter their territory but they could have had approval well before then.
