Turkish air force shot down a Russian fighter jet killing the pilot over the skies of Syria in order to protect ISIS oil sales to Turkey, Russian President Vladimir Putin told journalists following a meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan who is visiting Russia.
“We have long been recording the movement of a large amount of oil and petroleum products to Turkey from ISIS-occupied territories,” Putin said. “This explains the significant funding the terrorists are receiving. Now they are stabbing us in the back by hitting our planes that are fighting terrorism.”
The Russian president claimed that the Su-24 fighter was shot down over Syrian territory by an air-to-air missile launched from a Turkish F-16 plane and fell on Syrian territory, four kilometres from the Turkish border.
When it was attacked in the air, it was flying at an altitude of 6,000 metres, one kilometre away from the Turkish territory, Putin explained.
“In any case, our plane and our pilots were in no way a threat to the Turkish Republic in any way,” Putin said. “This is obvious.”
