It would be nice if more information was available. At the very least what they mean by 'war plane' as that could be anything from a drone through helicopters to fighter jets to even a bomber (all four are in the air in the region). The Reuters article mentions 'jet,' but the Turkish source states 'war plane.'
All the same, very interesting.

The video-photo posted online shows a parachute opening when the plane was shot down, so it appears to be a piloted aircraft.

So if the Turks haven’t lied, they didn’t shoot down a US or French plane. That leaves Russian, Iranian, or Syrian.
So what is the response? A Russian declared no fly zone over Syria and attacking any Turk planes that come in?
S300s and 400s blasting any Turkish planes that come into Syrian airspace attacking the Kurds?
These damned Turks are something else. They fly into Syrian airspace daily, but want to try to start a NATO war if someone crosses their fence.
Maybe we’ll know more tomorrow.

The one FACT, is that everybody flying over there is attacking Syrian rebels of one sort or another.
So Turkey shot down a good guy. Unless you support the Jihadis, that’s the only conclusion available.
Why are these ISIS supporting Turds in Nato still?

Says two personnel ejected, that should narrow it down. Probably not a drone.

Who let them in in the first place? Everybody knew that was going to be trouble, even if their govt was friendly at the time.

You may be correct. Let’s see, where the flea flopped.

The Iraqi AF also has operational SU-24 FrogFoot in use against ISIS.
