A day after it was published sound which is heard a man calling pilot to change course as it approaches Turkish airspace, Turkey denies that published the relevant excerpt.
"Representative of the Turkish General Staff maintained that gave no such material in the press. If applicable, this confirms once again that the audio communication with our pilots with the Turks own crew is false, "said the spokesman of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, Igor Konasenkof.

English is my first language and the only English part of the message is change your heading south. So what are you talking about? Stop using the motto while lying because it not only diminishes your credibility but that of the site. So if only 4 or 5 words of the warnings were in English no proper warning was given. Isn't that right?
v added that Russia was denied access by Turkey to any material related to the downing of the Russian jet by a Turkish F-16 fighter jet.
“In this case, this is just more proof that the audio recording of communication between the Turkish pilots and our crew published by several media outlets is a regular fake.”
Turkey released an audio of alleged warnings, but the surviving Russian co-pilot denies the authenticity of the recordings.

SO Turkish radar that tracked the plane is more advanced that anything NATO has?
C'mon.
ASELSAN Air Defense Radar (ADR) is a 3-D phased array radar designed to be used as a short to middle range search and track radar for fast and accurate detection of low altitude air targets, classification of them as fixed or rotary wing and identification of them as Friend and Unknown.
ADR can be utilized as a main search radar in various air defense command control systems or a radar sensor in self-operating mode. ADR is the main search radar of Air Defense Early Warning and Command Control System (SKYWATCHER) of Turkish Armed Forces (TAF).

A moving hole in the radar return.
So then not actually invisible?? A moving hole is likely to give off some warning bells.

Deny ignorance!
No, you deny ignorance!
They violated airspace!
No, you violated airspace!
Round and round we go. None of us are denying ignorance, the more we research and rationalize this the more ignorant we become it seems. We act as if one another are the ignorant fools pointing the finger at one another.
We are brethren. Each and every one of us care enough about our world, our existence, our nations stability which is evidenced by our participation here and yet we squabble with one another as children, one accusing the other of out right stupidity. Ask yourself, who benefits? We as a collective are far less ignorant than those who don't even care to research these topics. How is it than, we throw this phrase around as though it means so much, when in fact the motto: Deny Ignorance is as dead as the ideals our nation was supposedly built on. I'm embarresed by myself and my countryman, by my brothers overseas and those who've passed.
Why?
We are now playing their game. We are legitimizing both nations actions by arguing who is right. We are as Skeptic Overlord put it "Stupid" and as our master put it "Useless Eaters" squabbling over the scraps from Longshanks table as it were. A poor player, who struts across the stage....a fool who is heard no more.
The jokes on us.
