Turkey’s two F-16 fighter planes gunned down a Russian Su-24 fighter plane for violating its airspace. According Turkey’s military official, Russian pilots enters into their air space ignoring their repeated warnings.
The two Russian fighter plane pilots parachuted from their burning plane soon after it was hit by Turkey F-16s. However, one of them is reported to be killed while parachuting and other fall into the hands of ISIS terrorists, which means more painful death. Russia immediately sent its military helicopters to rescue its pilots. But, they couldn’t be traced.
A milatary official of Turkey said “This is not first time for Russian fighter planes violating our air space. There were several instances earlier. Russian air force officials came to our country and apologized for violations. Then they assured us for no such mistakes in further. But, it becomes a regular habit for them to cross into our air space. Our air force gunned down the Russian fighter plane to protect our sovereignty and not with any other intensions”
However, Russian fighter plane was found crashed 4 KMs inside Syrian boarders, which makes Russia suspect about Turkey’s intentions. Russian President Vladimir Putin spits fire on Turkey for gunning down his fighter plane.
He said “Our army is doing a heroic war against terrorism. But, the loss today is a stab in the back, carried out by the accomplices of terrorists. I can’t describe it in any other way. Do they want to make NATO serve ISIS terrorists? They should be prepared for facing serious consequences.” This incident ignited sparks between Turkey and Russian governments. Unfortunately, it is turning into a ugly war of words between them.
