This far situation looks like a bomber was hit over Syrian territory. From our point of view (I mean our official position that Su-24 didn't cross Turkish border) this mess can be described as an ambush which purpose was a vengeance for destroying IS's oil structures. Actually that is what everybody here are saying.
What looks even more weird is that Turkey announsed NATO council immediately after this shooting. Just like a boy throwing a stone into neighbour's car runs to his daddy crying - " He did it first!"
My thoughts go to our pilots - there are controversial messages about what's happened to them.

The current unconfirmed reports are that one pilot was killed . If so, hopefully, the other crew member if not both are ok and receiving medical care if needed and will be returned in short order.
