This is becoming a truly "Twilight Zone" event. The Turks were screaming blue murder that this was going to be the last time EVAH that Russia was going to fly into Turkish air space right?

The Turkish military claimed it was following the same protocol it would have for any jet crossing into its airspace, but insisted it was unaware of the nationality of the bomber jet.
Turkey's military said in a statement: "The nationality of the plane was not known... and the rules of engagement were automatically used."
Now Turkey claims it DIDN'T KNOW doomed jet was Russian before blasting it out of the sky
