Officials confirmed early Tuesday that a Turkish F-16 fighter jet shot down a Russian fighter jet with an air-to-air missile near the the Kızıldağ region near Turkey’s Hatay province close to the Syrian border.
The two SU-24 Russian pilots, one reportedly dead and the other captured, can clearly be seen parachuting down after an at least somewhat successful ejection from the aircraft.
