"Kommersant" revealed the details of the air at the Turkish military

The inconsistency of the movements of the Turkish troops could cause an erroneous air strike of the Russian Air Force, which led to the death of the three Turkish military in Syria, Kommersant writes with reference to sources in the military administration.

According to the newspaper, the coordinates of the application of air strikes were selected through space and intelligence intelligence, they were agreed in advance by the General Staffs of both countries, and the preparation of departure was no different “from all previous ones”.

Having identified the targets in El Babe, the pilots threw off the bombs “without critical deviations” and returned to Khmeimim, where the post-facts learned about the incident.

One of the causes of the incident could be an inconsistent movement of the Turkish ground forces to a square specified for applying an air company, the publication’s interlocutors suggest.

This version “must confirm or refute” a joint investigation, Kommersant clarifies. The newspaper also notes that, based on the speeches of Ankara officials, "this tragic case will not lead to the cooling of relations with Moscow."

TASS wrote earlier that Russia and Turkey will not create an airline investment commission.

On the morning of February 9, during air strikes on the positions of the Islamic State in Syria, the Russian Aerospace Forces mistakenly struck the Turkish military, as a result of which three people died and more than a dozen were injured.

The condolences of the Turkish side was expressed by Vladimir Putin and the chief of the General Staff of the Russian Federation Valery Gerasimov.
