I'm not sure whether the entire track of the intercepting F-16 has been shown on that map.

Nevertheless, the reported firing distance and geometry look rather extreme for a Sidewinder shot, assuming that it was actually fired from inside Turkish airspace....

Personally, I suspect that the missile used was an AIM-120, probably fired BVR....
