Turkey releases audio of alleged warning; Russian pilot denies authenticity
The Turkish military says it has briefed Moscow on the reason behind downing Russian bomber aircraft over Syria; Russia remains unconvinced.
The Turkish army says it has explained to the Russian attaches that it shot down the Sukhoi su-24 under its rules of engagement. It says it gave the Russian plane ten warnings in five minutes and ordered it to change course toward south. The military later released audio recordings of the alleged warnings. But the surviving Russian co-pilot denies the claim.
Murakhtin says he did NOT violate Turkish airspace even for a second since he knows the area very well from previous missions. The other Russian pilot was shot out of sky by anti-Damascus militants. Ankara says it was only defending its own security, but Moscow regards the action as a planned provocation.
