They could both be telling the truth. There could have been either a transmission problem or a reception problem.
In my opinion there was no need for a shoot-down as the general rule seems to be an interception and escort rather than a shoot-down. This was a pointless and dangerous escalation, especially since Turkey regularly flies over Syrian territory on their missions to bomb the Kurds. This essentially gives the Russians permission to shoot down F-16’s over Syria. Some of those might be ours.
Cuz they knew that in half a second, they'd be out of Turkey. It's not like you can change course on a dime.
This morning on Varney (FOX Business)Gen. MacInernie (spelling?)predicted a Turkish F-16 will be shot down in the next several months. The Gen. also said the Turkish downing of the Russian jet was a planned event and wrong.
On the same show Andrea Tanteras said Turkey should be kicked out of Nato.
