of material:
Until yesterday, the account was 63:0 in favor of the F-16. But yesterday, after 2 Su-24s shot down by the Turks, the account became 65:0 not in favor of Soviet aircraft.
In particular, we are talking about the downed MiG-29 fighters during the NATO aggression against Yugoslavia.
Noteworthy comments from Sohu users.
In the short term, Turkey prevailed. But Russia has already seized the initiative in Syria, and Turkey will soon be defeated.
Let's not forget that, that Iran is also present in Syria. And pro-Iranian forces are not at all on the Turkish side.
Syrians lost 2 Su-24. it, of course, badly. But the pilots are alive. And how much Turkey has already lost there?
Here's what's important: Turkey shot down Su-24, hardly know for sure, who do they belong to. This indicates, that the Turks sent a signal to Russia: ready to shoot down your planes. And so they showed, that they are not, as it were, afraid of a war with Russia.
Yes, let the account at least 100:0, this does not inspire confidence in Turkish pilots.
