Plane interception angers Russia

[Jimbuna]

Could this be the beginning of Russia coming out more publicly in support of Assad?

Either way it looks like further escalation over the troubles in the area.

Moscow has accused Turkey of putting the lives of Russian passengers in danger by using its military to force a Syria-bound plane to land in Ankara.
The Syrian Air plane, from Moscow, was intercepted and searched on Wednesday on suspicion it was carrying weapons.
Officials in both Russia and Syria have strongly denied the allegations, with Damascus accusing Turkey of "piracy" and violating international law
