    Turkey allegedly shoots down Russian war plane over Syria

    Seems like a good example of how multiple forces attempting to wage wars against different factions in the same space can lead to problems.

    Turkish warplanes have reportedly shot down a Russian military aircraft on the border with Syria.
    Russia's Interfax news agency cited the Russian defence ministry as saying that a Su-24 had crashed in northern Syria, and that its two pilots had ejected.
    Turkish military officials said Turkish F-16s shot down the plane after warning its pilots that they were violating Turkish airspace.
    Video footage showed the plane crashing into mountains in Latakia province.
    Russian launched an air campaign to bolster Syrian President Bashar al-Assad against rebels in late September.

    Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn’t be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps one learns: if you belong to a successful nation you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity - too bad for you -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

    Want to know the exact spot it crashed. Good to know when it comes to Turkey claims - Russia denies game.
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    Both sides will have their report on the matter. 1 will be correct but no matter what won't be accepted by the other. Result will be nothing as usual.

    In Syria, came down like a pointed brick too so almost no chance it was shot over Turkey.
