According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/2015\/11\/24\/turkish-f-16-shoots-down-russian-fighter-jet-near-syria-border\/?intcmp=hpbt1\">Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A U.S. official confirmed to Fox News that the Russian Sukhoi-24 was downed by an air-to-air missile north of the Syrian port city of Latakia. The official added that the Russian jet was warned three times to depart Turkish airspace.<\/p>\n<p>The official told Fox News that the Su-24&#8217;s two pilots parachuted safely and were last seen attempting to evade capture. Two Russian helicopters were airborne to attempt a rescue mission.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>They now report that one of the pilots are dead and the other has been captured by Syrians. Turkey claims that the aircraft entered Turkish airspace more than ten times and they&#8217;d been warned.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2015\/nov\/24\/turkey-shoots-down-jet-near-border-with-syria?CMP=soc_567\">The Guardian<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Tensions between Turkey and Russia have risen over Moscow\u2019s bombing campaign against ethnic Turkmens close to the Turkish border. Turkey has repeatedly expressed concern over the attacks on the Turkmens, a Sunni Muslim minority whom many Turks regard as their kith and kin. Like the Ankara government, the Turkmens oppose Assad\u2019s Alawite regime. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Turkish fighter jets shot down a Russian fighter that, according to Turkey, violated their airspace, &hellip; <a title=\"Turkey downs Russian fighter\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=62936\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Turkey downs Russian fighter<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":62937,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=62936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/62937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=62936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=62936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=62936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
