I can't believe you made me find it in that cesspit that is RT:

Russia has admitted making a mistake after its warplanes violated Turkey's airspace.

The Russian Defense Ministry has said that bad weather caused the incident when Russian combat aircraft violated Turkish airspace.
Source.

So is Russian government controlled media reporting on the Russian government a suitable source for you?
