A Syrian military spokesman said a Turkish fighter jet had penetrated the Syrian airspace earlier on Friday and it was shot down by Syrian army with anti-aviation artillery, adding it was dealt with in accordance to the applicable laws.

In a statement aired on Syria's TVs, the unnamed source said around 11:40 a.m. Friday, "an unknown flying object" penetrated the Syrian airspace over the Syrian territorial waters, adding that the target was flying at a low height and at a very high speed.

The source said that the Syrian areal defiance systems had responded with anti-aviation artillery when the object was at a distance of one kilometer off the shore, adding that the object was set ablaze and went down at a distance of 10 kilometers off the Syrian shores.

"Later on, the object has turned to be a Turkish warplane that penetrated our airspace and it was dealt with in accordance to the applicable laws," the source said.

The source said coordination with Turkish forces is underway to find the two pilots that were onboard and the Turkish forces have sent choppers in order to locate the whereabouts of the missing pilots.

Media reports said three Syrian vessels have joined the search for the pilots.

  • @turkzil Actually Turkey economical situation isn't far better if one may say. The budget deficit of the collapsing Greece compared to its GDP stands at some 10%, and the world is alarmed. At the same time, Turkey’s deficit is at 9.5%, yet some members of the financial media describe the Turkish economy as a success story (for comparison’s sake, Israel’s deficit stands at some 3% and is expected to decline to 2% this year.)
    While Turkey’s economy grew by some 10% last year, this was mere More..

    • @linkdude
      LOL, that's a QF 4 target drone form the 82nd Aerial Target Squadron based at Tyndall and Holloman AFB
      They are used for target practice by the USAF and are NOT used by any other air force.
      The turkish air force still fly's The RF-4E, a reconnaissance version.
