This is Turkey’s coy “we did a bad?” statement to the United Nations (via WikiLeaks), after they shot a Russian fighter jet out of the sky, claiming it violated their airspace — even though even they admit it crashed in Syria (goddamn wind, right??).

As it were, a few contained details appear questionable.

As the infamous publisher of secret “cables” points out in the tweet below, Turkey claims the fighter was moving mighty creepily through their space (that is, if it was ever at all). “A very slow 243 miles/hour” is molasses for a fighter jet, which usually flies at an average speed of at least 500 mph and tops off well over 1,500 mph when maxed out.

The Turkish officials say they “warned 10 times during a period of 5 minutes via ‘Emergency’ channel and asked to change their headings south immediately”. Okay.

Also, 17 seconds was the length of time the jet was over the border and in Turkey’s backyard. Only. 17. Seconds. The average red traffic light stop is 120 seconds.

Another extremely interesting morsel: they also refer to the fact that they had no idea who was inside the warplanes they subsequently blasted back to Earth:

“This morning (24 November) 2 SU-24 planes, the nationality of which are unknown have approached Turkish national airspace … “

Are they to be believed?

These are the countries that own the SU-24 model aircraft, aside from Russia: Azerbaijan, Algeria, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Libya, Syria and Ukraine.

It’s been reported that Turkish warplanes have already shot down a Syrian air force fighter, as well as one of their helicopters, for invading their borders.

WikiLeaks also went on to publish documents highlighting a bunch of past incidents where countries invaded another country’s airspace, and virtually nothing was done about it.

How about these startling revelations?
