"The downed fighter jet was warned 10 times in 5 minutes according to a statement released by the Turkish Armed Forces."
Back in the Cold War, Soviet military aircraft didn't have the same Guard frequency as Western planes, supposedly to make defections by their pilots harder. Given the power of inertia and the cost of equipment upgrades, does anyone know for sure that Russian military planes now monitor the frequencies the Turks would have been transmitting on?
