According to reports, eyewitnesses saw a large explosion in Huraytan, northern Syria, while three fighter jets were hovering above.

One journalist tweeted that three Turkish planes were responding to "mysterious" lock-ons from Mig-29 jets, which are used by Putin's forces.

Express.co.uk has contacted the Turkish government and the Russian military but neither could be reached for comment.

So was it in Turkey, or in Syria?

Just wondering.

Not good. I would not thing Russia is sending their B team pilots in there, so getting shot down is not good for PR.

I don’t want to fight the Russians to defend ISIS.

This came out MANY hours ago and I was wondering why discussion had dropped off.

Taquya. Probably shot down one they had in storage to provoke an incident. Never trust a Muslim.

F-16 vs. MiG-29, maybe?

Interesting...

One thing is certain, Russia will NOT accept its planes being shot down, particularly when it looks deliberate

hold on, we may be in for some fireworks

Mysterious.

Maybe someone is testing out a new kind of jammer that sends a fake missile lock signal.
