One of Russian pilots in hostage of Turkmens - VIDEO
Turkish fighter jets shot down a Russian-made warplane near the Syrian border on Tuesday after repeatedly warning it over air space violations, Turkish officials said, but Moscow said it could prove the jet had not left Syrian air space, Reuters reported.
Turkish presidential sources said the warplane was a Russian-made SU-24. The Turkish military, which did not confirm the plane`s origin, said it had been warned 10 times in the space of five minutes about violating Turkish airspace.

Separate footage from Turkey`s Anadolu Agency showed two pilots parachuting out of the jet before it crashed.

One of the pilots was in the hands of Turkmen forces in Syria who were searching for the other pilot, broadcaster CNN Turk reported, citing local sources.
