In news that will only make you despair even more about the current situation in Syria, a Russian jet has been shot down after apparently violating Turkish airspace. According to the reports, the Russian defence ministry said the Su-24 jet was on a bombing mission in Syria and crashed after it came under artillery attack from the ground. Moscow has insisted that the bomber did not enter Turkish airspace, however Turkish authorities says the plane was warned repeatedly before they opened fire. In mixed news, Russia have said that the pilots ejected from the plane – however have had no contact with them since. More bad news for Vladimir Putin it seems… Russia has confirmed that one of its jets has been shot down over the border of Turkey and Syria
