Vor Jahren, als der russische SU-24 gegen den türkischen Luftraum verstieß, war dies die Antwort, die er erhielt.

It’s art.

Looks romantic

The best Russian pilots are warm Russian pilots.

Roughly a year later, a turkish cop assassinated the russian ambassador over the russian aerial campaign over Aleppo.

Overall, an intense year.

And 6 months later, Erdogan begged Putin for forgiveness, had the pilots arrested, called them traitors and framed them as part fo the Gülen movement. After Russia started to lift the sanctions against Turkey, Erdogan announced to buy Russian AA systems instead of Amercian ones.

Yet I remember how everyone condemned Turkey for this, how time changes.

HANG IN THE LOURVE!

Ooo! Can we do that again?

And then Russia violated Turkish airspace again several months later.

The only reasonable response. The only response these animals will understand

The airplane never violated any airspace again.

Honestly, this is a legit response. Either they leave immediatly, follow our guides giving through commands and radio or they go meet the devil personaly

There are still people spreading false information, so let’s set the record straight. First of all, after this incident, Turkish pilots were not arrested; their identities were kept secret for their own safety. There is no evidence that they were detained. Regarding the issue of Erdoğan apologizing: after the incident, Europe left Turkey isolated and did not offer strong support, since Merkel’s goal was to appease Russia. Europe was quite passive, and after the Karlov assassination, Erdoğan expressed regret over the incident in order to ease relations, but he did not officially apologize.

After this incident, not a single Russian aircraft violated Turkey’s borders again, because they understood what would happen to them. Let’s not forget that if Europe and the United States had not left Turkey isolated, Turkey would neither have bought the S-400s from Russia nor developed such close ties with Moscow.

Also didn’t had problem ever after

I assume that Finland (for one example) doesnt react because to turn on the radar and missile systems would be to allow the russians to start figuring out where they are. Finland makes a business of not overreacting to this stuff. Russian aircraft routinely violate the airspace so if every time the equipment launches into action they will get critical data. and if they know where the equipment is deployed it will make it easier for them when a war would come. I would imagine that a lot of countries do this to maintain ambiguity about their capacity. a country like Turkey, not to even talk about the US, could far more easily just shoot them down without consequences. The Baltic states have a lot less luxury in this regard.

Europe doesn’t do that anymore… it still believes in diplomacy for some reason.

People saying Erdogan apologized to Putin and blah blah blah. But there is something they WANT to forget, Relations between Turkey and Russia after the RU airfract was shot down and after the murder of russian ambassador in Ankara were so tense, and guess fucking what? NATO countries backed down and distanced themselves from Turkey, a loyal and a firm member of the alliance. European powers went as far as to call for “de-escalation” between parties like there is a beef between two countries somewhere in Southeast Asia.

Turkey took it’s lessons here but so did Russia, it never violated Turkish airspace ever since.
