Turkey Shoots Down Suspected Russian Drone as Syrian Military Launches Offensive
Turkish jets shot down a drone over the country’s airspace near Syria on Friday. While the drone’s nationality hasn’t been definitively identified, U.S. officials told Reuters that they believe it is Russian.
Turkish jets have already been scrambled twice to intercept incursions by Russian aircraft into Turkish airspace since Russia’s air campaign in Syria began a little more than two weeks ago.
