According to reports, eyewitnesses saw a large explosion in Huraytan, northern Syria, while three fighter jets were hovering above.

One journalist tweeted that three Turkish planes were responding to "mysterious" lock-ons from Mig-29 jets, which are used by Putin's forces.

Express.co.uk has contacted the Turkish government and the Russian military but neither could be reached for comment.

Just wondering.

Not good. I would not thing Russia is sending their B team pilots in there, so getting shot down is not good for PR.

If Turkey goes to war with Russia, we are at war with Russia because of the NATO agreement.

I don’t want to fight Russia to defend Turkey air space. It is air. They are fighting ISIS nearby. Does that really require shooting down their plane?
