"The Sukhoi Su-24 was shot down when it returned to the Hmeimim base. Our aircraft was intercepted in Syrian territory by a Turkish F-16. The analysis of the data shows, unequivocally, that Turkish airspace has never been violated. The F-16 launched its missile when our aircraft was at an altitude of 6000 meters. The pilots managed to eject themselves from the aircraft, but their fate is still unknown ”.
This is what the Russian Ministry of Defense communicates.
