"It is a very serious incident," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. "It would be wrong to make some assessments, proposals or announcement when we don't have the full picture."
The plane had exploded in the air and the fireball fell on a Turkmen mountain on the Syrian side of the border, CNN-Turk and NTV televisions reported.
Russian media reported that the plane was a Russian SU-24, which is in use by both Russian and Syrian air forces and was shot down by Turkish F-16s after being warned to leave Turkish airspace.
Russia has denied that the plane entered Turkish airspace and had been in Syria the entire flight.
"Throughout its flight the plane remained exclusively over Syrian territory. Presumably as a result of firing, an Su-24 plane of the Russian forces crashed in the Syrian Arab Republic," Russian news agencies quoted the defense ministry as saying.
A joint Russian-Syrian rescue operation was underway in Syria's Latakia province where the jet came down in order to rescue the two pilots who ejected after it was shot down as reports that one of the pilots who been captured by Syrian Turkmen rebels had died................http://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/middle-east/93434-151124-turkey-shoots-down-military-plane-on-syria-border-media
