Nedskytingen av det russiske flyet er ikke første gang Tyrkia skyter ned fly i Latakia provinsen i Syria.

I 2014 ble et fly av typen Mig-23 tilhørende Syrias luftvåpen skutt ned av Tyrkia, også anklaget for grensekrenking.

Turkey shoots down Syrian plane it says violated air space

Turkish armed forces shot down a Syrian plane on Sunday that Ankara said had crossed into its air space in an area where Syrian rebels have been battling President Bashar al-Assad's forces for control of a border crossing.

The Turkish general staff said one of its control centers detected two Syrian MIG-23s around 1 pm (1100 GMT) and warned them four times after they came close to the Turkish border.

One plane entered Turkish airspace at Yayladagi, east of the Kasab border crossing, it said. A Turkish F-16 fired a rocket at the Syrian jet and it crashed around 1,200 meters (1,300 yards) inside Syrian territory.

I 2013 ble et MI-17 helikopter også tilhørende Syrias luftvåpen skutt ned i samme område.

Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said the helicopter had been shot down after it violated Turkish airspace.

Arinc told reporters on Monday that a Syrian MI-17 helicopter had been was detected two kilometers (1.2 miles) inside Turkish airspace. He added said there was no information about the fate of the crew, with the aircraft having fallen on the Syrian side.

Merkelig det. Hver eneste gang Tyrkia skyter ned andre lands fly og helikopter etter påstått "grensekrenking" så havner de på syrisk side av grensen. Sånn tilfeldigvis
