@gregorylent No. I think it far more likely Turkey is playing a double game.

@emptywheel 1) Have been wondering what language Turkey used to warn Russian SU-24 planes. The choices are: -
@emptywheel 2) Con'td: a. English. b. Turkish. c. Arabic. d. Russian. -
.
@emptywheel 3) English is std for civilian air traffic, but don't think so for military air traffic in war zone. -
.
@emptywheel 4) If Turkish, wouldn't expect Russian pilots to understand. -
.
@emptywheel 5) If Arabic, again wouldn't expect Russian pilots to understand, but Turkey might use if they thought was Syrian pilots/planes -
.
@emptywheel 6) Don't believe it would be Russian. Don't think Turkey would necessarily know. Plus Turkey claims "unidentified" aircrat. -
.
@emptywheel 7) Bottom line: Did SU-24 pilots even know they were being warned about breech of Turkish airspace? -
@LemonSlayerUS Was Russia warned not to breach airspace or not to attack Turkmen rebels? - 3 more replies
