The surviving pilot of a Russian jet downed by Turkey has said there were no warnings before they were struck out of the sky, it's reported.
Captain Konstantin Murakhtin told a Russian TV station that his plane was flying over Syrian territory and did not violate Turkish airspace.
Speaking for the first time since the incident yesterday, the pilot said he knew the region like the back of his hand and "couldn't possibly have flown into Turkish airspace".

A Soviet lying. It boggles the mind.
Turks lying. The White Hut lying. You’re right, that’s ridiculous.
Good point. You must always believe the Turks.
He’s a Russian not Soviet!
Sounds like another vote for Hillary.
Yes. And Obama.
Don’t forget Obama’s minions parroting the company line. This forum is rife with them.
According to Obama, the plane was over Turkish airspace for 17 seconds and they gave 10 warnings....so, a warning every 1.7 seconds.
Make sense...if you are a stupid liberal lying his ass off.
And Obama along with his disciples.
Russians now have an excuse to go full berserker against the rebels in Syria, and Obummer can stand there with his finger up his butt and complain all day long.
One would have to be either naïve, ignorant, or just plain stupid if they think our Govt, Turkey or Russia ever tells the truth
this is 2015 he’s Russian, this is not 1985
She will get the votes of a lot of members of this forum, just as Obama did.
17 second overflight. Figure out who’s lying.
I suspect the Turks were waiting to jump them.
Remind me again what the first casualty of war is?
No one ever lies on Russian state-owned television.
Duh truf?
That small strip of land where the Russian was supposedly flying over Turkey would only take seconds in a fighter jet .Turks and our Govt state he got 10 warnings and there is no way there is enough time to give that many warnings and then intercept the Russian jet.
Funny how the Turks state they are protecting their borders and yet cannot against hundreds of thousands of immigrants pouring in.
Russia begat the Soviet Union and was it’s nucleus of power.
Russians lament glory days of their murderous Soviet empire tyranny.
Russians are executing their plan to reconstitute a Soviet Union 2.0 by taking advantage of the west’s weakness.
Russian / Soviet - interchangeable for convenience and derogatory purposes.
It’s a disgrace that we’ve deliberately lost moral authority and to our peril to rely on Russia for anything, be it rocket engines, rides to space, or the world’s new policeman.
