Um, flying into Turkey's airspace multiple times was a "planned provocation."

Shh, you're ruining the whole narration about how Turkey defending its airspace from armed foreign powers is somehow odd or unusual.

There's actually a pretty simple solution: Keep your armed aircraft out of Turkey's airspace, or if you start to stray, actually listen to the guard channel where flight controllers are warning that you will be shot down if you continue.

All of the objective evidence demonstrates the Russian jets never crossed into Turkish space.

Have you looked at a map? At worst while doing a target run in Syria these guys flew over a 1 mile strip of property that juts down into SYRIA and is claimed by turkey.... At 580 kts they were over that strip of land for 16 seconds

This was not an exciter mission

Lavrov is probably right that this was a Turkish setup, they moved assets into that area the day before and may have had turkish forces on the ground inside SYRIA
