Russian Defence Ministry summed up results of Russian Aerospace Forces activity

[RodeoX]

I see absolutely no evidence that this plane was over Syrian airspace. The "objective analysis" website that was posted is a Russian ministry of defense website? And I see this thread is moderated by the poster. Free press Russian style.

I see absolutely no evidence that this plane was over Syrian airspace.

The evidence of contrary should show Turkey, not Russia.
There was talks with NATO about to avoid clashes, so talks with NATO help at nothing.

The possibility of moderation give the site, and i'm not a Press Agency, so You can start to eat a shit, dude.

“This incident stands out against the usual fight against terrorism. Our troops are fighting heroically against terrorists, risking their lives. But the loss we suffered today came from a stab in the back delivered by accomplices of the terrorists,”

I hope this doesn't initiate a 3rd world war. Putin is known for breaking the international law, as the US did.

Wow.
He broke the rule - don't touch the OIL of exxon and CO, right?

This is going to get really bad. Russia will step up support for the Kurdish rebels inside Turkey, and Turkey will step up support for various factions of the Islamic State, operating in the Muslim-majority regions of Russia. The Russo-Turkish relations are going to remain strained and frozen for many many decades to come.

That is actually an important clue. the TOW missiles are only given to a few units in Syria. This one could have been captured on the battlefield, however the way that guy set up the DMGS looked like he was trained. That likely means a YPG or FSA unit. I don't think their handlers in the CIA are going o be happy with this. They do not want an escalation with Russia, as this helps no one. The rebels are supposed to use them on Syrian armor, not Russian pilot rescue teams.

To get a TOW from the CIA one must complete training / vetting and then they get one. They get the next missile when they return the spent casing with a video of the attack. This unit may have forfeited their future missiles. Of course they will say "Screw you, those guys bomb us all the time and we will continue to shoot at them".

Sadly I think we will see more and more of this as the bombing campaign against the moderate rebels moves up toward Aleppo.

The YPG (Kurds) doesn't have any TOW missiles with them. The TOW was only given out to a few of the pro-NATO groups such as the Al Jabhat al Islamiyya, Ahrar al Sham and the al-Tawhid Brigade. The Syrian Turkmen Brigade (the group which shot dead the Russian pilots) also received a few dozen TOW missiles, after Turkey provided them with the same.

They need to proof those bombing, Russian Forces are collaborated with NATO about targets, and NATO find no problems in Russian presentation, this is documented, and you can easily find those talks reports on Youtube and MoD of Rusiian Federation youtube channel.

This bomber have target oil tankers of ISIS.

  the U.S. could determine from radar images whether the Russian plane had entered Turkish airspace, Warren said the U.S. was still gathering information.

Warren said: "We need a little time to work all that out."

He said it was not immediately clear on which side of the border the Russian planes were flying.

Ah, you are right! I asked someone I know who is in the loop and she/he said that the YPG is no longer on the list because they were not using the few TOWs they received responsibly.
The latest I heard, which is a month or so outdated, was that individual fighters were selected and required to join Division 31. That group was wiped out in their first contact with the enemy (Al-Nusra front). Here is the list of groups *currently approved.  *this list constantly changes.

Falcons of the Mountain Brigade

Defence Attache at the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey in Russia was urgently summoned to the Russian Ministry of Defence where he was presented an official protest concerning the actions of the Turkish Air Force

Defence Attaché at the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey in Russia was urgently summoned to the Russian Ministry of Defence where he was presented an official protest concerning the actions of the Turkish Air Force containing following statements:

 “Today at 9:30 the Russian aircraft, which performed combat counterterrorist missions was shot down by an aircraft of the Turkish Air Force.

The Russian aircraft did not cross the Turkish border and acted only against objects on the territory of Syria.

Combat actions of the Russian aviation were conducted against illegal terrorist formations, which consist of a large number of militants from the Russian North Caucasus.

Efforts of the Russian Defence Ministry specialists to organize cooperation with the Turkish party by emergency communication link were not successful.

The Defence Ministry considers actions of the Turkish Air Force as an unfriendly act.

At present, the Russian Defence Ministry is designing a complex of measures directed to respond such incidents.

Combat missions against terrorists in Syria will be continued.”

Ah, you are right! I asked someone I know who is in the loop and she/he said that the YPG is no longer on the list because they were not using the few TOWs they received responsibly.

The YPG were the only group which was using the TOW "responsibly". By "responsibly", I mean using them against the ISIS, rather than attacking the secular regime forces. Right now, the YPG is having some sort of an understanding with the regime forces, and they are not fighting each other. That was probably the reason why they were excluded from the list.

I was told they lost their TOWs when they threatened to use them against Turkey. There was also concern about using them against Russian targets. A lot of the rebel groups are complaining that Russia is only bombing moderate groups on the road to Aleppo. Increasingly they want to attack Russian interests.

If I were advising the Russian forces I would do the same. Why attack DAESH when plenty of other forces are already doing that? Besides, sharing the same battlespace with other forces is dangerous and could lead to an unwanted exchange. 

But here is a nasty problem that all the air powers share. The lack of targets. Both western and SAA aligned warplanes boast about how many DAESH oil tankers they have destroyed. However they are not DAESH oil tankers. I spoke with some of the drivers of these oil trucks earlier in the year. The ones I met with were transporting Syrian oil by way of Iraq. These guys were smugglers, not terrorists. They buy the oil from a guy who bought it from another guy who bought it from DAESH. This is why the US starts it's attacks by dropping leaflets that say "Get away from your trucks, they are about to be destroyed." Then they strafe the area nearby as a last warning. Then they let them have it.
The trucks were the last easy targets and it gets tougher now.

The Russians are having good relations with the YPG and PKK, and the contacts were established even before the Syrian civil war. From the 1980s onward, Russia has remained as one of the most important weapons suppliers for the PKK. Also, the Russians have never targeted the YPG in any of their air strikes. So there is hardly any chance of the YPG using their TOWs against the Russians.
