Not really, Russia has been taking short cuts over Turkey for months now, the Turks have scrambled F16s multiple times and warned they'd shoot any Russian planes down, finally they did - Russia will just say a few words about it and be all bolshie, but not really care.

Yeah if you actually read the posts you will see I and others here already are involved in that actual discussion.... Which is in a thread about a missing passenger plane over Egypt

So it was fair point to have a seperate thread haha.

Take it the words "hornets nest" and "kicking" are appropriate?

pa55ive · 24 Nov 2015 at 12:57

Interesting....

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called the downing of a Russian jet at the Turkey-Syria border "a stab in the back by the accomplices of terrorists".

He was speaking live on state-owned TV channel Rossiya 24.

Well ****. The wording won't be taken well.

Thanks wesley, can you link to source please?

Putin said:

So that's going to spice it up.

Reports unconfirmed various places that both pilots are dead.

Unconfirmed reports also that FSA have shot down a Russian helicopter, which some claim to rescue/recovery helicopter. Again, not confirmed.

So how big is that gap of Turkey that the jet flew through? And how long would it take for a Jet to fly through it?

how long should Russia be allowed to fly though another countries airspace before they are allowed to take offence?

Claims approx 2km and less than 20 seconds are being banded about....

Again it's all unconfirmed reporting at the moment.
