It was those friendly Al Qaeda / HTS freedom fighters that were pictured, you know those type that were so loveable on 9/11. They believed they had shot it down.
Russia has now put Russian Military Police with SAA units, making it clear that fire on them then it is coming back at you quickly. Also SAF and RuAF have been very active today with a lot of ground lost being recovered.
US Govt has as expected told Turkey to GFY in relation to any military support. Given Turkey attitude on Incilrik this hardly a surprise and Greece vetoed any Nato agreement.
