Russia has started to equip their Su-34 fighters with air-to-air missiles in preparation for potential dogfights.
In a statement from a Russian Air Force spokesman, the Su-34s have not only been equipped with air-to-air missiles, but they’ve also been equipped with high explosive aviation bombs and hollow charge bombs. The spokesperson also said that these weapons were being equipped for “defensive purposes”.
We all know the truth. Russia isn’t equipping its jets with that kind of firepower to fight ISIS militants, they’re doing it to keep Turkish F-16s from shooting down more Russian fighters. And they’re right to do so.
Despite claims from Turkey that the Russian Su-24 bomber violated Turkish airspace on Nov. 24, they had no right to shoot down a plane they weren’t even in conflict with or even posed a threat. There’s also that little bit about how even if a Russian jet crossed the Turkish borders, it would have only been there for a matter of seconds. Now, because of the stupidity and pride of Turkey’s president, the world is teetering on the edge of a global conflict.

Russia is an Ally.
I hope. NATO does not do. Anything
Quick President Obama – raise taxes, steal more money from productive Americans and American business; so that you can give Putin more lunch money. We sure think you are a brave and wise leader Bamy, by the way have you slayen any solar flares or removed, Mr. Obama, any sun spots in your war on climate? (You do understand that those are, by far, a more important consideration than using the EPA to strap US industries and institute bugos penalities to fund your racketeering from of government and avoid managing real world problems with a much higher priority – don’t you? Or what are you up to?)
No one in my family will fight for NATO in the name of turkey
Let’s hope Russia takes out NATO we have no use for that corrupt organization
While oboma won’t
I hope Obama’s there when they bomb them
It’s coming!
I do hope President Putin does not let himself be provoked into shooting at an American pilot.
The only way putin will engage turkey is if turkey closes the straits that is a support line for russian military in syria or Turkey fires upon any Russian military.I suspect some sort of terrorist attack on Russian soil soon due to russian economic actions against turkey.
