1. An extremely valuable lesson for us....

2. "The jet"
Bluesquid ,   Canada   (06.27.12)
Who cares where the weapon that shot down the jet was made, the truth is Turkey was working to create more chaos by sending an unmanned fighting jet over the Syrian air space and they shot it, plain and simple if the Turks can’t pay the price they shouldn’t do the crime. In my view it’s Turkey that committed an offence.
3. Lessons to learn
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (06.27.12)
I'm sure IAF's intelligence on Syria will benefit from this incident.
4. Turkish pilots
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (06.27.12)
How comes the Turkish government announced the two pilots are alive and they have not been rescued yet ? Are they alive ? Are they kept captive by Syria ?
5. Link to see the weapon downed Turkish plane

6. US propaganda
jerri i ,   USA   (06.28.12)
The statements attributed to official US sources whether military or State Department are simply following Pres. Obama's desire and orders not to engage any new Moslem state under any circumstance. In this case the excuse is that Syrian air defenses are too strong. If this is true then US abilities are much less than Russia, Iran, and Israel, which is hokum. This also confirms an original assessment that our Pres. is just another Chamberlain.

split ,   US   (06.28.12)
A bad news foor Israeli warmongers.
8. To Serge and Bluesquid
Ali ,   Turkish Republic   (06.28.12)
First to Serge sadly no news from pilots SAR units found their boots and helmets. and to Bluesquid, If we wanted to start chaos you can be relax you can see more than this,calling RF4s as unmanned fighting jet your own ignorance btw.
9. I'd love to see an anti aircraft gun round
Sarah B (me not her)   (06.28.12)
which can take out a military jet at a range of 14,000 metres. Because I'll be asking my government why our ships hasn't got it onboard. Normal people are calling the SA15 as the likely culprit.
10. Turkey mixed up with Israel
Atilla ,   Sydney Australia   (06.28.12)
Syria said they thought it was an Israeli'i jet. This should make Erdogan happy and no need for an apology in the public eye.
11. The 3 clowns:Turkey,Iran,Syria!
Benny ,   Iran   (06.28.12)
They deserve each other like Humpty-Dumpty --- had a great fall!
12. NATO

Assad was telling them bring it on. I would do the same thing, my airspace. As other people have noted it was similar to Sledgehammer. Playing it down is for the public. Same thing as the flotilla. The Israelis know what Turkey has planned and what Syria has planned in response. Turkey is a superpower comment. Similar how the US got drawn into Libya by the French strike, while Gates was delaying so Qaddafi had entered Benghazi. He was in his position when this all started and he did not want to know about Syria. I have battled al-Quds in Iraq go ahead invade.
