Russian SU-24 shootdown: Erdogan is Lying through his Teeth

There are a number of factors that clearly indicate that NATO/US pawn Erdogan is lying. These facts are based on the now known and published flight path of the SU-24, its airspeed limitations and capability and Turkey’s feeble explanation to the UNSC, excerpt follows: "This morning (24 November) [two] 2, SU-24 planes, the nationality of which are unknown have approached Turkish national airspace. The Planes in question have been warned 10 times during a period of 5 minutes via 'Emergency' channel and asked to change their headings south immediately."

Self-styled 'Sultan' Erdogan in his Palace

Now consider that this region is a hotbed of air action against Jihadi militants of all stripes and that Putin, after the Syrian government asked for Russia’s assistance, went to great pains to meet with all leaders involved in the fighting and with leaders of bordering nations prior to embarking on his devastating and remarkably successful campaign against terrorist fighting groups in Syria. Now, that means that all involved parties AND their airforces, would be aware of Russian military aircraft conducting missions, also note that Turkey is not a targeted nation in this civil war. Now, the Russian built SU-24 supersonic bomber is a very distinctive aircraft and has a distinctive radar signature, however, Turkey claims that the “nationality” of these Russian aircraft was “unknown,” now take into account that no other nation is flying SU-24's in the conflict region and it becomes plain as day that Turkey’s claim of an “unknown” ‘threat’ (implied) is utter bullshit -- tell it to your demented grandmother, Mr Erdogan. Erdogan’s tissue-thin lie/excuse deserves considerable attention, however, there’s more, much more.

Now consider the Turkish claim that the supersonic SU-24 entered 1.15 miles into Turkish airspace and exited in a total time-frame of 17 seconds. That would mean, and ask any professional pilot familiar with supersonic aircraft, that the SU-24 was ‘flying’ at stall speed for 17 seconds, an impossibility as that would risk the lives of the pilots and the aircraft stalling and crashing to the ground, now consider the implausibility of any combat aircraft engaged in combat operations flying at stall speed -- in your demented, twisted dreams, you lying, criminal scoundrel, Mr Erdogan.

Furthermore, a 17 second breach of airspace, if indeed it occurred, does warrant the shooting down of that aircraft over another nation (Syria) as footage of the crashing aircraft clearly indicates an almost vertical descent. It seems that Turkey was at pains to provoke Russia and look for excuses after the event, which legitimate excuse, it does not have and without legitimate cause and scientific proof, Turkey’s action against Russia is CLEARLY criminal, notwithstanding it is also a declaration of war, as Erdogan has made no attempt to apologise to Russia and extend condolences for the dead pilot, for the tragic ‘mistake.’

A proportionate response would be for Russia to raze self-styled 'Sultan' Erdogan's much loved new palace to the ground, of course warning that lying, lackey and megalo leader prior to the event -- suck on that possibility or worse Mr Erdogan -- no leader of a superpower would or could tolerate an attack on his nation without a proportionate retaliatory response, be aware.

However, I digress slightly.

Now assess the response by the US and NATO in support of Turkey’s right to defend its airspace, in the context of the US and allied forces breaching Syrian sovereign airspace almost DAILY and the entire charade becomes exactly that, a very dangerous game of CHARADES. Also try to imagine if Russia or Syria legitimately and legally downed a US or allied aircraft for illegally breaching Syrian airspace, which has been occurring over the past four YEARS and continues today and you may gain a little perspective and a background context of this clearly pre-planned event to provoke Putin into a major conflict involving of course NATO and the US, that is why I mentioned razing Erdogan’s palace to the ground, as no innocent lives would be lost, only the ‘face’ of an exposed lackey and very unstable, despised and panicked leader, however, Putin is a far better tactician and strategist than I, though he does exhibit a streak of very noticeable COWARDICE.
