Turkey shot down a Russian plane that was in its airspace

#27

Quote:I heard or read, not sure which, that in cases like this, the country whose airspace has been violated will scramble a couple of fighter jets and escort the offending party out of their airspace. That would seem like the prudent thing to do. I recall a few years ago the Russians shot down a Korean Airliner that had strayed into its airspace, and the world was outraged. Obviously none of us know all the facts, but it sure seems like in this case, Turkey overreacted.


I'm also a little surprised Russia hasn't retliated yet. If it was Iran that shot down and killed one of our pilots inbetween iraq and Iran I'd expect we would be bombing them back to the stone ages pretty quick.
