Wow. I didn’t think you could say anything dumber and yet you just did. You didn’t know that AF1 has military escort at all times, but now that you’ve been informed you think they are Russians? LOL!

The only countries that allowed fighter escorts for Putin are Belarus, Iran and a couple of the former Soviet craphole-istans. Not even North Korea or China allowed Putin to have fighter escorts.

Putin wants to treat Turkey like a former Soviet crapole-istan and Turkey told him where to go. Lol!

“””I assume Air Force One travels with American fighter escort”””

Do they, when our president flies into enemy nations?

I believe the US has or makes agreements with foreign nations to allow US fighter jets to accompany AF1 in their airspace.

See post 31, I doubt that enemy nations like Red China, or North Korea, or Russia allow the American president his own fighter jets when visiting.

Putin is flying into NATO, NATO jets can perform the escort.

What kind of nations? Enemy nations?

Turkey is NATO, not Belarus.

“The point is Soviet fighter jets will be shot down over NATO territory”

I think it was 1991, Paine Field Airshow, Everett, WA, I first saw Mig-29s and SU-27s perform, along with AN-225.

Turkey is a member NATO and Soviet fighter jets will be shot down if they enter NATO territory.

Not if they have clearance from the Edrogan govt. And to be accommodating all Edrogan need do is offer Turkish fighter protection. The Turkish AF can exchange places with RFAF over the Black Sea. Or the Russian fighters can simply return to base once approaching Turkish air space. As nutty as Zelensky might be he’s not going to order an attack in Turkish airspace. Or the simplest solution: fly three planes like POTUS’ helicopters. The idea that Putin is worried is a bit round the bend.

This is the United States, a sovereign country. I wouldn’t arrogantly assume that any other country does things the same way we do.
