They were only in Turkish air space for two or three seconds, if that. It had to be a timed "set up" shot, with an operator looking at a radar picture with his finger on a button. This was nothing like an incursion where an escort aircraft is sent out. There was no time. Reminds me of an ambush or a trap, ready and waiting. Jets making many sorties probably brush that spur on normal in-out flight path routing. Probably a few times they touched it or crossed it. So the Turks (and maybe the Americans, offshore on navy ships, possibly) had the real-time radar imagery, knew the flight patterns, and set up a missile ambush. IMHO. If you looked at the past 2 weeks radar for that zone, I'll bet it is near a normal takeoff and landing flight path.

Yeah, well ... I don't believe Sputnik, nor the Pentagon, nor Obama, nor Putin ... so I'm not going to bank on any of these claims.

That said, I support the Russians bombing the 'rebels', be they ISIS or of the so-called 'moderate' variety.
It also is clear that Obama - and his mis-use of our resources - supports Islamic terrorists. And Putin's motives notwithstanding - his team is doing the right work.

Yeah ... more or less what I would expect Russian mouthpieces to claim.

Turkey is a ‘little’ nation of no great consequence in the grand scheme of things and they would not have shot down a Russian jet without first getting the permission of the USA. That was my first thought when this whole story broke.

Good post Marvel...Turkey is known for its false flag operations, especially as it concerns Syria.

Something tells me these latest actions are gonna come around and bite them in a big way.

Well, as I see it, Russia has one less combat aircraft, which should be viewed as a positive thing! As far as “getting permission,” I doubt that Turkey gives a $hit what Obola & Co, or the Russians think. BTW, If my memory serves me correctly, this is the second Russian plane taken out by Turkey. Russia also lost a helo to ground fire trying to rescue their pilots. Hey Vlad, war is a bitch, remember how you got your asses kicked in Afghanistan? Maybe if it’s snowing in Moscow, you can go outside and stick your a$$ in a snowbank!

For some reason, Obama wants to get rid of Asaad. The Russians are really mucking up that idea.

Asaad is a bad guy but I would bet whoever replaces him will be much worse. I know that because whatever Obama wants, is automatically wrong.

Love the comments on sputnik:
“Turks will only learn something when they wiped out of the map as a pay off for their crimes to humanity till now.”

Rather than allowing dear leader to start WW3 by proxy, can we appease Putin by throwing dear leader’s head over the wall?
