Turkish technology and warfare have caused the nation a world of trouble. Russia is upholding the belief that the downing of a bomber jet by Turkish aircraft this week was a planned provocation, but they don’t intend to go to war over it. Russia’s foreign minister declared that there are still serious doubts on the nature of the attack, but they do not intend on letting it escalate to a full blown conflict.
Russia Will Forgive, But Not Forget
Russia’s foreign minister has suggested that the downing of its bomber by Turkish jets Tuesday resembled a “planned provocation.” But he reiterated that Moscow has no intention of fighting a war with Turkey over the incident.
Turkish Technology and Warfare Flop
Despite doubts on the Turkish government’s intentions, Russia maintains that its relationship with Turkey remains the same. The military has recovered the second pilot from the downed bomber jet, as confirmed by President Vladimir Putin.
The pilot, Konstantin Murakhtin, is now at a Russian airbase in Syria. The jet’s other pilot was killed by rebels after ejecting. Because of this entire ordeal, Russia is planning on deploying advanced anti-aircraft missile systems to Syria in a case of any further attacks.
Meanwhile, Turkey Maintains its Original Statement
Turkey insists that the Russian Su-24 jet was downed because it was nearing the Turkish border, violating Turkish airspace. This was the first incident of tension between the two countries since 1950. Putin has called the assault a move in support of terrorism.
