Since when is a bombing run considered innocent passage?
Since the bombing run wasn't in or against , or, involving Turkey (with the exception of a less than 2 mile wide appendage, where no bombs were dropped)
These russian planes without any identifications on them were bombing the area for several days already.
You really are knitpicking; these planes were on a bombing mission . They were bombing innocent civilians who were con content being ruled by Asad & Co + Ba'ath Party .
To all of y'all...if you decide to ignore the available data; that's on you. However, please don't try to force your uninformed, unsubstantiated opinion on everyone. Stick to and use the available data (not your opinion about the players).

Your use of available data [from the blackbox alone ] misleads the reader imho.

"russian planes without any identifications " -- actually that is wholly untrue. All Russian military planes are clearly marked.

I'm not using black box data...remember, the black box was unreadable! I'm using data released by Turkey and Russia. Comparing the two datasets to see which one is the most logical, practice, probable...it is almost a mathematical exercise...you wouldn't understand that I suppose.
But, it works out like this; which of the two datasets can be real. By evaluating the timing, distances, speeds, etc. it should be (and is) possible to determine which one is true.
It appears that Turkey was lying. You see; IF Turkey used an AIM-9x missile, then it would not have reached the Russian plane where it is said to. And, IF Turkey used an AIM-120 missile, then the whole event occurred while the Russian plane was within Syrian Airspace.

If Turks are lying to what purpose ?
Turks are the party which have suffered the same crime by the same planes who carried NO IDENTIFICATION.
You are saying that on the day Turks shot the plane , plane was not in Turkish airspace .
Are you also disputing the previous occurences of same violations ?
Clearly the Turks are the injured party here for all intend and purposes .
You seems to want a make a case that the Turks had no reason to shoot at these planes .
Why ?
Turks clearly & Lawfully & Legally have given advice to all concerned parties , including the Russians.
Are you saying Turks made a mistake that these planes didn't cross the border on the day there were shot at ?
One of your presumptions is that the Russians wouldn't fake information.
Why would you think that ?

The Russian jet was shot down because the Turkish Presidents son was leading anti assad forces protecting an oil shipment they sold to Turkey from Isis that was going into Turkey. The russians were bombing the rebel leaders position and he called dad and had the plane shot down. Thats the story. We give the rebels guns, the rebels give the guns to Isis for oil and sell it to Turkey to buy even more guns and equipment.

That came a bit later. Russia were attacking the Turkman rebels about about 3 km from the Trukish boarder. Russia had been doing that for about 7 or 8 days. Russia also did a ground attack With Russian forces "only" against these Turkman rebels. One of the first Russian only ground attack in Syria. There should be a News article about this somewhere on the nett?? This was probably a VIP target that might have been important to Turkey or the Turkman rebels. Personaly i think that ground operation trigger the Turks to attack the Russian SUs. I am not sure......

I thought the US found computer data on the oil trade between the Turks and Isis businessmen and state officials in May. It also showed the Turkaman were helping and even ISIS defectors have said they could travel freely amongst the Turkaman and into Turkey.

The Us are now restoring a air Field in Syria that has not been in servise since 2010. This has not been mentioned at all in Our media. If it was it would have been breaking News in this site.
The airbase is located Southeast of the town of Rmelan (Abu Hajar airfield) which is controled by the Kurdish People’s Defense Units (YPG).
I Wonder how the Russians will respond to this move. The US are also doing this without Assads concent..... I gues when this will be known to the Public throught the media. It will go something like this.... Its on behalf of the UN aid to the Syrian People. Because the UN are now going to start to transport aid to the Syrian People without the concent from Assad.

Russia is part of the deal. The US did a 180 after their plane was shot down. They agreed Assad can go after the conflict is over. But that vaccum would be too destructive without something in place. The UN and Russia have agreed to work together with the US.

What ever this black Box reveal. It has already being stated by NATO that they show no interest in that information. This does not meam the Russian information is false.
To a Norwegian reporter Jens Stoltenberg said that the Downing of the Russian SU 24 have created internal differences within NATO. There are NATO members who show interests in the Russian black Box. But the information might not be in the best interests of the NATO coallition. The main goal for NATO members is to try and deescalate the situation and try and establish better communication With Russia and Turkey.
At the end Jens said. There are indifferences within NATO but we have to appear United to the world.
Really?
En overdreven reaksjon
Håvoll mener det er ulike meninger innad i NATO om Tyrkias reaksjon på Russlands krenkelse av luftrommet.
Militæranalytiker Harald Håvoll sier det blir en viktig oppgave for Stoltenberg å sørge for at konsensus innad i NATO-systemet ikke bryter sammen. NATO består av til sammen 28 medlemsland.
Hva som foregår på bakrommet nå, er ikke godt å si. Men Stoltenberg har en jobb med å sørge for at konsensus ikke bryter sammen. Det er tydelig at en del NATO-land er litt skeptiske til det Tyrkia har gjort.
- Generalsekretæren i NATO er ikke sjef i NATO, men er en sekretær som skal koordinere alle innspillene til medlemslandene. Stoltenbergs rolle er å få disse nasjonene sammen og få til en konsensus. Han fronter organisasjonen utad og har sånn sett en viktig rolle, sier militæranalytiker og seniorrådgiver ved Senter for internasjonal og strategisk analyse (SISA), Harald Håvoll, til Nettavisen.
An excessive reaction
Håvoll think there are different opinions within NATO about Turkey's reaction to Russia's invasion of airspace.
Military Analyst Harald Håvoll says it will be an important task for Stoltenberg to ensure consensus within the NATO system does not break down. NATO consists of a total of 28 member states
What's going on in the back now, is not good to say. But Stoltenberg has a job to ensure that no consensus breaks down. It is clear that some NATO countries are a little skeptical about what Turkey has done.
Secretary General of NATO is not chief of NATO, but is a secretary who will coordinate all inputs to member countries. Stoltenberg's role is to get these nations together and bring about a consensus. He fronts the organization externally and has in that respect an important role, says military analyst and senior adviser at the Center for International and Strategic Analysis (SISA), Harald Håvoll, Nettavisen
