The navigator of the downed Russian Su-24 bomber, Captain Konstantin Murakhtin, said that the crew had not received a warning from the Turkish side, Interfax reports . According to Murakhtin, the missile hit the tail of the plane "suddenly", so the crew did not have time to perform an anti-missile maneuver. “In fact, there were no warnings. Neither by radio, nor visually. There was no contact at all. Therefore, we entered the combat course in the normal mode, ” quotes the navigator.
