http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-34907983There’s so much going on over Syria at the moment, that it wasn’t a case of if this kind of thing happened, but when. And now Cameron wants us to get involved. Also, Turkey’s in NATO.

To use a quote..
"This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it."
First of all, what common language are all the pilots supposed to be using? Could Russian and Turkish air force pilots actually communicate in any reasonable way?

English. Usually all pilot communications are in English.

So no agreement on how the Russian jet was shot down then.

There is a game like that. It’s called Diplomacy.

I used to play it a lot. The way you win is by being completely sincere and plausible with your partnerships, playing along with the agreements you make until the board is positioned in your favour and then wipe up everyone else.

Question.... At the speed that jet was going at (let's assume it was still subsonic), how long would it have been in Turkish airspace? Would that have given the Turks enough time to broadcast all the warnings they're claiming to have done? And then could the Russian jet have left their airspace any quicker than it did? What's the point for warning them if you're not giving them a chance to leave?
