Default Turkish Air Force shot down unidentified drone
[Turkey's air force shot down an unidentified aircraft -- reported an
unmanned drone -- that entered Turkish airspace
near the Syrian border, the Turkish armed
forces said Friday in a statement.
The aircraft was shot down after it did not
respond to three warnings from the
Turkish air force, according to the statement. ]

Drones cost a Fortune

To be fair, it did not respond to three warnings. If a drone came above my house I would be very worried.

Oh right

I was just giving a (poor) example. I'm not well-educated in the realms of drones and how they operate.

Turkey did warn that if their airspace was invaded again that they would use force.Let us hope no more Russian jets 'accidently' find there way into Turkey.

Mr Putin is not going to be fond of Turkey at this rate. Turkey's hostility to Russia is strange really considering they're not too bothered about IS either and focus their attacks more on the Kurds

But a Russian Jet
would get the warnings better


So nice to Get Warnings


I would take them away
and Tell Russia that.
