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.

Exactly - if the plane was in Turkish airspace at all. Meanwhile, Turkey repeatedly violates Syrian air space at its leisure to bomb Kurds.

You’re absolutely right. It takes time for the missile to seek. “0” time is not an option.

Then the pilots get shot while in their chutes.Simply murder.

soetoro / jarret / soros cabal needs the US, Europe and the ME in flames before the 16 election.

The civil unrest fomented by the WH in the US, a shooting war with Russia, China and Iran over US support of isis and al queda with Israel drawn in and terrorist attacks all over would do the trick.

The CIA will soon release a video proving it was an errant spark in the center wing fuel tank.

Don't forget, Turkey claims something like ten miles inside the actually Syrian border as a buffer zone so I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the map they provided shows the actual border plus that ten miles.
