Where’s the confirmations? There should be lots by now.
Btw, be careful as wars/conflicts come with lots of BS from all sides, always.
Yeah. Already posted in Breaking News with no confirmations.
We’re looking kind of stupid, here.
Without multiple confirmations I’d guess the one in breaking might not last much longer. Our media is shell shocked from poking the bull and going with unsubstantiated reports. Like the recent Oregon shooting, where they initially broadcasted a suspect who turned out was not even involved.
This one isn’t even referencing the same event that is in breaking news. This is from four days ago and allegedly occurred in Damascus and not near the Turkish border in Aleppo.
I agree. FR is being taken in by a lot of Syrian rebel/Al Qaeda propaganda.
I wouldn’t worry about that if I were you.
Here’s another report from just now, which may or may not reference the same incident. It claims Turkey shot down a Russian plane in response to Russian radar lock-ons. It seems something may have happened. What, exactly, is still unclear.
The Turks wouldn’t have a large mouth and bold actions if it weren’t for Islamist Erdogan’s Turkey being in NATO. Same as they did against Kurds fighting ISIS months ago in Syria bordering Turkey - Turkey bombed the Kurds.
As it says in the article: “”You can’t really have two air forces fighting different campaigns aimed at different objectives over the same territory without the real risk of a clash.”
BTW, State of “Azerbaijan” mentioned in the “news source” is Turkish speaking and heavily influenced by Turkey.
Think i will go out and shoot several guns in to the air to celebrate.
Ok, maybe not.
If this is true, I just hope it wasn’t a USA manpad that brought it down.
Thanks Obama.
