Su-24 flight recorder confirms Russian aircraft did not violate Turkish airspace
Pravda ^ | December 18, 2015

Posted on 12/19/2015 11:29:54 AM PST by don-o

The Russian Defense Ministry held an open briefing devoted to the results of the decoding of flight recorders of the Su-24 bomber aircraft that was shot down by Turkish Air Force.

As it was said at the briefing, Russia has all evidence to prove that the warplane of the Russian Air Force did not violate Turkish airspace.

"We have all the necessary evidence to confirm the absence of facts to establish violations of Turkey's airspace by the Russian aircraft,"Sergei Dronov, Deputy Commander of the Russian Air Force said, RIA Novosti reports.

He added that the Russian bomber was carrying out its mission in the mountainous area of Syria and did not pose any danger to Turkey and its citizens.

The analysis of the data of flight recorders of the downed Russian Su-24 will be conducted openly. The use of special equipment allows to conclude that the decoding of the data was conducted as usual.

None of the countries that have been following the investigation of the incident with the downing of the Russian military aircraft has denied the information voiced by officials of the Russian Air Force, Defense Ministry and the President of Russia.

"No one, but Turkey, has refuted the data of objective monitoring of air conditions in the specified area of Syria," said Sergey Dronov, Deputy Commander of the Russian Federation Air Force.

First data of the decoding of the Su-24 flight recorders will be exposed on Monday, December 21 at the session of the Interstate Aviation Committee.

That's good, damn good. Better than straining your ears trying to hear the “lock on.” (circa ‘60s APS54)

“Yes I know it’s Pravda. But we also post from NY Times and Wash Post.

Second, video at source charges that US must give the “GO” before Turkey is allowed to fire. Sounds plausible.”


Roughly as plausible as this other bit of Russian news:

That image and many other purporting to show the flight paths of the various aircraft are readily available from multiple sources. Try searching for images on Google with the search term "su-24 flight path".

Also, Wikipedia has images provided both by the Turkish government and the Russian government. Here is the image from Wikipedia

The image posted above was apparently provided initially by the Russian Ministry of Defense. You can watch the press conference where it was presented here

If you speak Russian you can follow the narration of what the Russian government contends occurs.

The 24s were tracked by US EWAC planes over the Med and over Turkey and vectored to the kill - there is no other way.

“Even if it did cross over Turkish airspace, it was only for about 30 seconds.”

At a high-enough rate of speed I’m sure Cuban MiGs could cross part of Florida in 30 seconds.

Hatay Province was essentially stolen from Syria by Turkey in the late 1930's.

I had also read of that quite a while ago. Lots of Turkmen in the region, and Turkey more or less claimed the region because of Turkmen active there. Sort of like what Russia did in Ukraine with Crimea, lots of Russian loyalists so they went in and took it. Lots of contested regions in the world waiting for a war to reclaim them. But yes, Hatay Province is disputed territory by Syria and Turkey. Hope they kill each other without dragging us into a wider war.

One reason I mentioned Hatay Province is that it is still shown as Syrian territory on most Syrian maps. So I'm wondering, if that Russian pilot truly overflew Hatay, could he have been following a Syrian map?

It's quite unlikely that such a mistake would be made by a modern air force, but still...

Thanks for that, looks like WWIII is on Obama and Erdogan.

Even if he is a 9/11 ‘truther’, he still has a lot of information on the russian su24 shootdown. He lives in France, because of his 9/11 stuff he had to leave the US. Being out of the US gives him access to other information.

I would think a modern air force would take note of a disputed region on a map, like a skull and crossbones reminder at the location. Same as when Japanese and Russian vessels approach contested areas, or for other nations disputing territory. Can it be as simple as a map mistake? Maybe. The stuff of fictional movie mayhem that can drag a world into war.

It’s Pravda but at this time I trust them more than any US news sources.
