Russian Jet 'shot Down By Turkish Forces by HolyHero: 5:10pm On Oct 10, 2015 |
Turkish forces have shot down a Russian jet after it flew into the country's airspace, according to unconfirmed reports on social media. It has been claimed by eyewitnesses that there was a large explosion in Huraytan, northern Syria, while three fighter planes were seen overhead. Rumours of jet being shot out of the sky come amid heightening tensions between Russian president Vladimir Putin and the West. It comes days after another Russian bomber violated Turkish airspace. According to the Daily Express , one journalist tweeted that three Turkish planes had been responding to 'mysterious' lock-ons from Mig-29 jets, which are used by Putin's forces. MailOnline has approached both the Russian and Turkish authorities for a comment. A spokesman for Nato said it had so far received no reports of a plane being shot down. Details of the reported incident emerged after the Pentagon announced that Russia had agreed to resume talks with the US on air safety during Syria bombing campaigns. Press secretary Peter Cook said the talks were 'likely to take place as soon as this weekend'. Nato and the US have been alarmed at violations of Turkish air space by Russian planes. Earlier this week Nato urged Moscow to end air strikes on the Syrian opposition as fighter jets were scrambled to intercept Russian warplanes that had violated Turkish airspace. Turkey sent two F-16 jets to head-off a Russian fighter that violated its airspace near the Syrian border last weekend. At an emergency meeting, NATO warned of the 'extreme danger' of such violations and condemned the incursions. Last week Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said: 'Our rules of engagement are clear whoever violates our airspace. 'The Turkish Armed Forces are clearly instructed. Even if it is a flying bird, it will be intercepted,' he added, while playing down the idea of 'a Turkey-Russia crisis'. cc lalasticlala ishilove www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3267595/Russian-jet-shot-Turkish-forces-flew-country-s-airspace.html?ito=social-facebook

This is unverified. It's from a twitter post. Russia has reportedly not deployed Mig-29 in Syria but Su-24, Su-25, Su-30 planes. 2 Likes |

We are about an inch away from WWIII. Too many things like this and we are in it and this one will go fast. On the flip side, Let's hope Russia gives Turkey a good hiding. Turkey have been completely duplicitous in this affair from the beginning - trying to fool the West it is hitting ISIS, while continually assisting them and opposing Assad instead. About time these duplicitous Turks were taught a lesson in hard politics. |

overhypedsteve: No pics of the shot plane, no named source of the news, no confirmation from any nation in the world, not even turkey who shot the plane etc. All are rumours which stem from a single post on social media but YOU have enough info to determine it's a Syrian Mig plane piloted by Russia?
