they couldn't do bombing runs south of Turkey? of course they could, but the whole point was to fuck with Turkey, just like Russia does all the time with other countries...
I mean seriously, think about it, either Russian pilots suck at navigating or they fly very close or inside other countries airspace on purpose, no? it's more likely the latter, wouldn't you call that provocation on Russia's part? |

MUMBAI: A US military plane was grounded on Sunday after it violated Indian airspace. The plane with 200 marines was on its way from the UAE to Bangkok.
It was flying over Mumbai when it was noticed that the plane didn't have the required permission. It was later allowed to leave, but the crew are spending the night in Mumbai to get some rest.
This is the second such incident of a US aircraft flying over Indian airspace without permission, and comes a day before India and the US begin joint air exercises - by some coincidence, the exercise is aimed at improving coordination between military planes.

Turkey's air space has been violated 114 separate times so far this year but each instance was quickly resolved peacefully, the General Staff has said following Syria?s downing of a Turkish warplane for violating its airspace.
"We would have shot down 114 planes if every aircraft that violated a country's airspace were shot down without questioning," the General Staff said, according to daily Milliyet.
A majority of the violations were done by Greek aircraft, with Italian and Israeli aircraft also known to have violated Turkish air space this year. "Air space violations are incidents that happen almost every day, and are resolved in a matter of minutes within international law," the General Staff said in a statement.
Six airplanes violated Turkish airspace last week alone, the General Staff said, of which none were shot down and left Turkey's airspace after they were warned by Turkish personnel.
A violation of one to two kilometers is accepted as "natural" given the speed of aircraft, the statement said. This year's violations of Turkish airspace lasted between 20 seconds and nine minutes, which showed "airspace violations can be resolved by warning and interceptions," the statement said.
