There’s no way they were in Turkish airspace for anything like 10 minutes. The tip of Turkish land/airspace the Turks are showing the aircraft crossed is not even 5 miles wide. At 500mph, that SU-24 would have crossed it in 36s, less than a minute.

No, this was pretty clearly the Turks saber-rattling, and it’s the reason NATO is not really backing the Turks, asking them why they didn’t just escort the jets out.

BTW, are you aware the Turks frequently violate Greek airspace? Why, you may ask?

Because the Turks hate the Christian Greeks, they can, and are *holes.

We really need to exit the base at Incirlik. Nothing good can come of staying there.

After this the Russian strike bombers will probably get fighter escorts.

I do not know that. They were warned to move. Yes, we have RADAR in Turkey.

Putin says his fighters were within half a click.

Whatever.
