Chief Of Russian Air Force Accuses Turkey Of Coordinated Ambush On Downed Jet<\/a><\/h3>\n

By now everyone is aware of the Turkish side of the story of how a Russian Su-24 was downed by a Turkish F-16 on Tuesday morning, when it allegedly crossed into Turkish airspace for a grand total of 17 seconds, with Turkey supposedly warning the Russian bomber which had been targeting alleged jihadists in the region no less than “ten times.” Turkey even produced an\u00a0alleged recording\u00a0<\/a>of said warning, which Russia implied was faked as the surviving pilot made it\u00a0very clear no actual warning\u00a0<\/a>had been received by the Russian warplane.<\/p>\n

So now that Russia has had three days to go through the evidence and assemble the pieces of what it thinks happened, here is the summary as presented earlier today by the Commander in Chief of the Russian air force, Viktor Bondarev, which however presents a very gloomy picture with dire consequences for the peaceful geopolitics of the middle east.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In summary, what Col. Gen. Bondarev said is\u00a0that Turkey actively sought to ambush and bring down the Russian jet starting long before the actual missile was fired,\u00a0<\/strong>which can be confirmed by the flight patterns of Turkish warplanes which had taken off well in advance, otherwise they would not have had enough time to reach the battlezone.<\/p>\n

The Russian ministry of defense made this grave accusation quite explicit on Twitter an hour ago,\u00a0when it said that Turkey had engaged in a choreographed ambush.<\/strong><\/p>\n

#<\/span>SYRIA<\/span><\/a> #<\/span>Bondarev<\/span><\/a>: Two F-16’s were in the duty zone for 1 h 15 min (from 9:11 till 10:26) ready\u00a0to attack from the air ambush<\/p>\n

Here are the details of the Su-24’s final hour as\u00a0recounted by RT\u00a0<\/a>which notes that a pair of tactical bombers took off from Khmeimim airbase in Latakia at 06:15 GMT, with an assignment to carry out airstrikes in the vicinity of the settlements of Kepir, Mortlu and Zahia, all in the north of Syria. Each bomber was carrying four OFAB-250 high-explosive fragmentation bombs.<\/p>\n
