“and whose idea was it EVER to bring Turkey into nato?”
Turkey helped protect access to the Med from the Black Sea and surveilled the southern USSR (Sinop). It is in a very strategic location.
To keep it symmetrical, Putin might decide to give some anti-aircraft missiles to Syria, or even some cruise missiles, and have Syria (Assad) take out a Turkish plane and/or a missile battery on the Turkish side. Then he can keep Russia out of it to the same extent that Obama kept the US out of it. Putin will want to do something like that.
I call BS. This is propaganda, unless they were shooting at a bird that had broken down and been abandoned. In which case it's not what I would call a great victory.

Very odd . They set up in the open and there didn’t appear to be any security for the copter.
Anyone notice the TOW setup was German?
