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?
