Turkey reported that its Air Force shot down a drone along the Syrian border today, after the drone was repeatedly warned to turn back and didn’t respond. Turkish officials say the incident was “within the rules of engagement” for their forces.
The big question here is whose drone this actually is, and that’s unclear so far. Turkey just flat out says they don’t know, while the US says they suspect the Russians, likely in no small part because the US always suspects the Russians.
Russia, however, says they aren’t missing any aircraft, and didn’t offer any insight into whose drone this might’ve been. No one else is claiming ownership of the drone either, though ISIS has also been known to fly some limited drones in their airspace.
Turkey had made high-profile threats in recent weeks to shoot Russian warplanes out of the sky if they got too close to the border, and that seems to be informing a lot of the speculation about this being a Russian drone, though the fact that a remotely piloted drone “didn’t respond” to warning broadcasts seems a little silly, and seems mostly focused on Turkey trying to sell the idea that they tried to avoid the incident.
What do you do when a drone enters your airspace? And why does Mr Ditz thing the warnings were "broadcasts"? I loved the typically unsubtle propaganda line: teh Us suspect the Russians because it "always suspects the Russians" but the Russians say they aren't missing any aircraft, it isn't because they always deny everything. When propaganda is so flat-footed and laid on so thick, what use is it? It can't possible fool anyone!
One of the reasons for Erdogan regime to blame Europe for refugees crisis at Turkish-Syria border is that this man knows the end time for his support of Isis is around the corner, European are afraid for Erdogan to free two million Syrian and Iraqis along with deserted Isis barbarians into Europe'' which is the reason for Europe offering bribes money to Erdogan regime to keep refugees for know.
No matter what the political or economic situations, the reasons for refugees crises is the USG and Europe, Israel, that Swedish King, Saudis religious expentaion into Syria and beyond is what to blame, not the Syrian people nor the Iraqis or the Iranians, for Europe is time to bribe Turkish Erdogan regime in one hand and in the other to restablish their political and economic relation with Russia which such voices and demands are heard all over Europe. All that nonsense, falsified, arrogant politics played by Europeans is nothing new, capitalism has its second masks-face in the closet ready to be used when its needed. The refugees don't have any feature in Europe, European simply have nothing to offer which in time the social situations will create a chaotic social economic situation all over Europe.
doesn't appear to have actually been an "incident."
photos of the drone on other sites show a cheap
balsa-wood glider that apparently crash-landed
with no sign of being shot down. suspect some
farmer found it, turned it in. turkey simply making
noises due to embarrassment.
russian drone? not likely. their drones are
higher quality, and have russian markings.
they make no secret of flying drones over
the area of hostilities.
