Right. But who knows? Whether in this conflict, or over the course of years how many times has Russia transgressed Turkish airspace? I don't know, no clue. And just because the military or lame stream media doesn't report it doesn't mean it doenst happen.
Circling back to my previous post, maybe it was a simply a case of the Turks saying "enough is enough".

The big Turks kids are ****ed about the loss of that bargain rate IS oil flowing across the border, they were handling it for the head choppers. Funny thing that the oil stopped flowing after the tanker trucks where attacked?
Irregardless, warned or not it was and easy shot into the arse end of a loitering bomber. Rescued NAV says they never seen it coming.
Obviously it wasn't thought out very well by the powers that called it, with gunning the chutes and all (where the stuff did all those cameras come from? the whole event was caught on video..)
One things for certain, everyone's lying to some degree, as can be expected.
Now throw some S-400's into the mix, IST anyone?

Report said the Turkish government has sent four(?) letters to the Russian Ambassador telling them to stop flying into Turkish airspace.
Apparently the Russians either didn't take they seriously or thought they didn't have to bother listen to them.

Savage dictators are the only ones that provide stability in the region. Reference the current state of Libya, Egypt, and Iraq. You would over throw him? You may not like him but we need Assad in power.

Maybe, but that doesn't justify helping him murder his own population. Neither the Turks nor the Russians are proving to be good partners in this fight. Go figure.
