Nutloose: "First off, my sincere condolences to the crew who lost their lives and their families and friends, regardless of their Country of origin they did not deserve to be murdered like that."
The aircrew were dropping ordinance on the men below and jagged metal doesn't exactly tickle when it meets flesh.Shooting at a helpless man in a parachute is on par with an aircraft dropping a munition over a man with an AK47 ... both are helpless at fighting off their attacker.P.S. my reading of the incident is the Russian aircraft is dropping munitions on the Turkmen below and to do this the attack run went over an area of Turkey that projects into Syria. The Turks are simply protec.ting their men below.
