Hi Maddogjim

Tony did once get a fast, low, sharp turning scenic flight between power poles, trees and the hi rises of Baghdad after his C130 picked up some " signatures".

It is too early to say much about the latest incident.  More facts need to come to light.

No country  wants to play piggy in the middle between Iran and Israel or Iran and Turkey  or indeed Turkey and Israel BUT that is where Russia now finds itself.
