Turkey Scrambled 8 F-16 Fighter Jets To Track Russian Plane
In a brief statement this morning, Turkish military authorities have admitted that:
- *EIGHT TURKISH F-16 JETS TRACKED RUSSIAN PLANE IN BLACK SEA
- *TURKEY SCRAMBLED F-16'S YDAY AS RUSSIAN PLANE NEARED BORDER
Which appears odd given this was a "military exercise" that we are sure the Russians had cleared with neighboring nations that it would be entering their airspace. The Turkish air force has been busy recently following the failed 'drunk' Sochi hijacking and Syrian intercepts.
The Turkish Air Force scrambled eight F-16 fighter jets after a Russian surveillance plane flew parallel along its Black Sea coast, the military said on Tuesday, amid increased tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine.
The incident occurred on Monday and the Russian plane remained in international airspace, according to a statement on the website of the military General Staff.
Ukraine's Crimea peninsula, which juts into the north of the Black Sea, is at the center of the current standoff between Russia and Ukraine's new pro-Western government. NATO member Turkey forms the southern coastline of the Black Sea.

I had a friend that served in Vietnam. At one point he was stationed in a forward camp with Turk soldiers. The US Army was charge with guarding one half of the fence line, the Turks the other half.
So zippers would scale the fence and steal shit. The US would arrest them, feed them, and eventually release them.
The Turks would cut off their hands and release the thiefs.
Guess which half of the camp had the most theft.
The motto - Don't fuck with Turks.
new a guy now since passed but in his late 90's his eyes would light up when talking about how he used to slit the throats of turks, he fucking loved it!!!
I've carved a Turkey before, does that count?
only if they were looking you in the eye when you did it......
shut up twatter.
fucking turks are not special.
just swarthy leather faced cia tools
Obama is trying to hold his hand. Weird Vik Yanukovych is caught in that awkward spot you get into when you are next to the spouse of the spouse who is coming on to you and you don't want to make a scene. Been there done that, I feel ya Vik.
I did not know Michelle was pregnant. What an awful dress. Hideous.
Hillary does look a little too eager to please, scary. [play Twilight Zone music, maybe Psycho music]
Nah - it's just a fresh face-stretch.
Turkey should have just fired a couple of short-ranged missiles into the ocean
and called it a day, like the North Koreans.
No, they are just checking to see if they still fly right.
If Russia attacked Turkey from the rear, would Greece help?
you tell us.
More likely, grease would help.
Reggie Love and his pal probably would!
Yea the Turks didn't even get that riled over the Mavi Marmara massacre!
Scrambled, didn't catch up to anything! SU T-50 test?
If it was an AWACs type aircraft you can bet he had buddies around. Eight might not have been enough.
The Russian plane was carrying the gold payments for the profits from Erdogan's party's billions of dollars of investments in Russian economy. The Turks are joined economically at the hip with the Russians. They were just making sure their gold drop went off without any complications. Remember gold always has an affinity for water, look at all those boating accidents where gold gets 'lost'. I can see the conversation on the Turkish radio. Mehmet did you see where it hit the water, get your laser on that spot and get the GPS coordinates and give them to the Submarine.
Ok, what the fuck do they want now?
... to be taken seriously .. by the EU.
/sarc
Will they try something on Stockholm again? They made a bomber run exercise a while ago and it was too late to intercept them when found... it was only an exercise then.
FUCK THE EU
I didn't realise Turkey was so close to all of this

Should be good for another 10 pts. on the S&P.
Just a bigger tail to wag the dog.....
Bullish...... To the moon!!!
Good thing they were on the job..not like the Swedish Air Force that only works 8 to 5....with no overtime..two breaks...and an hour for lunch
Uh oh Turkey didn't get the message that the S400 is the greatest super weapon ever and it can shoot any plane or ICBM down in the sky.I know it's true because I read it on the internet and people on this site have seen it.
you can always rely on the jewish man erdogan to help israel,the city of london and washington out.
that boy still doing what he is told even as his fucking turkey is next for imf cia mossad deconstruction.
And Obama schedules more "boys only" golf outings in order to play Reggie Love's flute.
The Socialist Semite Democrat media has been enabling Obama to cheat on his wife for his entire term. Is it OK to cheat on your wife if you do it with another man?
Imagine if GWB had carried on multiple homosexual affairs while in the WH.
If both parties are the same, as many suggest, WHY does the media treat them so differently?
I hate it when these Johnny-come-latelies with a shitty economy try to piggyback on our wars.
Go invade Greece.
