A RUSSIAN jet has been shot down by Turkish forces after it flew into the country's airspace, according to as yet unconfirmed reports circulating on social media.

Mysterious.
Maybe someone is testing out a new kind of jammer that sends a fake missile lock signal.
While the USS Harry S. Truman will likely replace the carrier, it could be up to two months before that happens.
“hovering” jets sounds suspicious
Care to elaborate ?
With Obama, we would do nothing.
Frankly, I think Turkey should have complained (if true) but stopped short of shooting down the plane. There should be other clever things you can do short of shooting down the plane.
Is that airspace so close that it is a problem avoiding it? Should Turkey have negotiated use of that space? I do not know the backstory of this. Shooting down a plane seems extreme to me.
lol...that’s just funny
I hope the Russians invade, reclaim Constantinople and reopen Hagia Sophia as a Christian Church.
the Turks would just LOVE to have the infidels from Europe and maybe USA fight the Russkies for them
a can’t lose deal for Turkey
somehow I don’t think this will happen, however.
we will see....
I just doubt the ruling elite in Europe or even USA is so inclined....
ErdoÄan’s army is occupied with Russia = Say hello to Kurdistan.
You would think so. But since I've been looking at this whole conflict and posting stories I've found there is a time delay to what occurs to when it starts getting reported by unreliable sources on Twitter, then picked up my obscure news outlets in the Middle East and other parts of the world that are awake at that time to finally being reported in the American MSM.
Something like this though should override that natural information flow. Since I saw this being mentioned hours ago it should have percolated into the MSM by now.
NATO is not what NATO used to be. It seems all good things eventually turn bad because dummies take over who do not understand why it was created in the first place — or don’t care.
IF Turkey gets involved in a war with Russia, and they are part of NATO, then we are involved as Russia has violated their airspace several times.
kind of shocked you didn’t know that.
This is the part where Russian cruise missiles accidentally fall in Turkey—like Istanbul.
Oh boy, this is getting serious huh?
Don’t they know that our Beloved Peace Loving President is visiting the West Coast, busy trying to eliminate our Second Amendment Rights and collect Millions of Dollars to Elect his Marxist Brothers and Sisters?
The nerve of Russia, or Turkey. Whatever...
At least Turkey wouldn’t be a haven for ISIS to walk through and to sell oil to.
No, it’s not really bad. Russia will be more careful, and if the Turks have the pilot, they will repatriate him soon. I doubt if they will even interrogate him.
There’s no way Obama is going to authorize NATO to do anything about this.
i hope you’re right. dont want any Americans dying for Turkey of all countries!!!
[ Nato ally.
We prep to defend Turkey. ]
Screw Turkey (The Government not the people). Edrogan really stabbed us in the back with his MB stuff.
