Turkmen forces claim they shot dead two Russian pilots

Turkmen forces in Syria claim they have shot dead the two pilots of a Russian fighter jet downed by Turkey near its border.

A deputy commander of a Turkmen brigade said the pilots were shot in the air as they descended with parachutes.

Alpaslan Celik, a deputy commander in a Syrian Turkmen brigade said: "Both of the pilots were retrieved dead. Our comrades opened fire into the air and they died in the air."

The commander was speaking near the Syrian village of Yamadi as he held what he said was a piece of a pilot's parachute. Last updated Tue 24 Nov 2015

F Turkey, and the NATO alliance. Serve them up to Putin.

Turkey should pay for all the times the last 20 years that they have stuck it in our eye,

You have a few Muslims on here who have.

Yes, that’s why it’s considered bad taste to stand at the rails with a rifle and pick off survivors in life rafts....

That’s a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions and a war crime.

It also is stupid - no living pilot to negotiate with. To treat well and seem moderate to the outside world.

To use that old saying: "It is worse than a crime. It is a mistake".

I agree with Trumpinator a LOT about a LOT of issues.

That said, he ain’t gonna last here. Which sucks, because he and I agree about so much.

But you just don’t come on a forum and act snotty with the founding members.

Islamic barbarity.

DEFINITELY cheering for the Spetsnaz to GET SOME on this one.

BTW, the Spetsnaz will also likely kill their families, their neighbors, their families’ and neighbors’ pets, and pretty much anyone and anything living that is (soon to be was) associated with them in any way. It’s what they do.

Fools.

Turkey is no longer a secular muslim country, the fundamentalists have been quietly turning it into a theocracy for years.

That said, however, I have zero doubt that russian planes were violating their airspace routinely after repeated warnings.

This whole thing is going to be a fustercluck. If Russia attacks Turkey, NATO will have to respond.... worse case scenario we can wind up in a hot war with NATO v Russia when the real enemy are the fundamentalist muslims that are enemies of both these parties.

I doubt it will come to that, but its insane that this is a possibility at all.

Turkey hiding behind NATO while protecting their ISIS pals.

This pretty well sums it up.

Well....laz, If I were in the mood to do it, (which I’m not) I would warmup my keyboard and give Trumpy a historical lesson in geo-politics and Russian history as well as the Turkish proclivity to protect their sovereignty and borders. (something most every country does with some exceptions)

But I’m not in the mood.

But if I was, I might also give a short dissertation about how global wars begin and have begun, and the fact that if one did, ISIS, Turkey, and the Muslim world would not even make the top ten issues of the day.

You act like you are a retread and will retread again.

I’m almost inclined to bust you just on that alone.

You mean how supposedly Christian England, France and Austria protected the Ottoman Empire and ganged up on Russia during the Crimean War? That history lesson?

I see the same stupidity exhibited by the west over and over - divided agendas over spheres of influence allows the Muslims the wiggle room to exist as a threat to the west. As a student of history one wonders what y'all learn.

I have no idea what retread means to you. Keep having this conversation with yourself.
