Russian plane shot down by Turkey

[Dazzer]

There's a video of a guy with Russian pilot gear lying dead as the guys around shout allahu akbar, so I think it's impossible that he is alive.

S-sorry. I let the hysteria overpower me. Deep breaths.

Those damned Russians breaching international law by flying over the Turkish border. Turkey is our ally so we have to believe them. Fuck Assad and ISIS. Priase Ghandi.

[Liam]

I'm sick of your trolling! This is serious! This is world war three!!!! You're not keeping calm minds!!!!

fucking hell YOU'RE NOT CALM EITHER, CALM THE FUCK DOWN YOU DUMB TU*K!!!!! 

[Herishey]

This isn't world war 3, this is where everyone disowns Turkey and Turkey becomes Russia, or a wasteland.

[Olafson]

To be honest it is only 2 guys spamming this thread. If one of you spammers post again I will ban you. And I am not kidding. I do not care if it is against the rules. Lets reopen this.

I think I also cleaned all the spam.

wow I didn't know Russia was only in Turkeys airspace for such a short amount of time. But they still doesn't explain why the pilots didn't respond to Turkeys warnings. Unless there really were no warnings?

[Volk]

I just want to say it's really sickening what became of the 2 pilots. Shooting another country's plane down from the sky while unprovoked is extreme in and of itself, shooting down the 2 pilots trying to just survive in a foreign country is completely barbaric. Then destroying the people sent to rescue them and repatriate them back is just awful.

Before I get bombarded for "kremlin troll", imagine if this were to happen in, say, Islamabad when Seal Team 6 went in to kill Bin Laden. Imagine Pakistan, a USA ally, shot down their helicopters, killed the crew, then destroyed the rescue team trying to rescue said crew. It's the same thing really, and barbaric no matter how you look at it.

I'm not much of a fan of politics, but when even just basic human dignity and respect are downtrodden, it's time to reconsider who you call your "Friends".

Maybe they didnt think, that Turkey would actually shoot them down, as Russia has been in other countries' airspace many times before, and just escorted back

[BabyJesus]

Was it Turkey who shot the pilots and the helicopter? I thought it was rebels or something

The Russian planes still should have responded.

Turkey shot the planes, "Rebels" shot the Pilots and the rescue Helicopter.

Did they actually kill or capture any of the rescue team members?

Well this is war, and technically, the guys who shot the pilot and the rescue team are at war with russia. So to me that seems like a totally normal action.

Probably because the plane wasn't shot until it was 2-3 kilometers inside Syrian airspace.

Turkey is the shittiest NATO member. Not only are they not attacking ISIS, they're letting ISIS come through their border to reposition because it helps them fight the Kurds. They allow the oil ISIS has to be sold in their country, and they repeatedly go into other nation's airspace they aren't supposed to be (namely Greece).


Also, whoever the person was saying that it is a war crime to shoot downed pilots when at peace, but that the Turkmen rebels didn't commit a war crime by firing on the pilot because they are at war, you are categorically wrong. For it to be a war crime you have to be at war, and it is always considered a war crime to kill ejecting pilots whether they are parachuting down or have landed on the ground. The only time you can kill someone in a parachute in war is if they are an armed paratrooper, else you're committing a war crime.
