Regarding the accusations of the Russian Federation in the alleged violation of Turkish airspace by the Su-34 aircraft:
We carefully and discreetly monitored the development of the situation around the accusations by Turkey, as well as official representatives of NATO and the Pentagon, who were in solidarity with her, about the alleged violation of the Syrian-Turkish border by the Russian Su-34 aircraft.
I want to draw your attention to the speed and pattern of distribution of statements in support of Ankara, made on this topic.
For some reason, all the gentlemen from NATO and the Pentagon immediately understood everything. Although no actual data: the area, height, course and speed of the object in the air - Ankara was not made public.
That is, all the objective data about this alleged incident actually exist only in the fantasies of the authors of this stuffing.
But somehow, with the help of Turkish radar, for some reason, the brand of the aircraft was identified - Su-34.
I would like to remind you that in the north of Syria, the air defense system of the government armed forces, as well as our C-400 complex, monitors airspace around the clock.
During the past 24 hours, we have analyzed the data of objective flight control in the north of Syria in the most attentive manner. And, I note, - not only our aviation.
There were no violations of the Syrian-Turkish border by the aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces, there are comprehensive data, note that there is no objective control.
And this is a fact.
Moreover, despite the numerous statements by the Turkish representatives, no evidence has yet been transmitted through diplomatic or any other channels to anyone.
And the hysteria that was launched by the Turkish side is not only “unfounded propaganda”, but also has clear signs of planned provocation.
Therefore, those who warn us about some consequences, without understanding what happened, should themselves first of all think about what kind of trap they are being drawn into by Turkish partners.
If you need facts, please.
On the video, recently received from the Syrian general staff and one of the patriotic opposition detachments, it is clear how an artillery battery at the Turkish border post conducts shelling of Syrian settlements in the frontier zone.
This is called a fact.
We are waiting for the same prompt reaction and explanation of these actions of the Turkish armed forces, from representatives of NATO and the Pentagon.
I also want to remind you that recently, all Russian airplanes perform tasks in the Syrian sky with the obligatory cover of Russian and Syrian fighters, as well as modern air defense systems, including C-400.
