Syria dropped a Turkish Air Force RF-4E Exploratory aircraft 13 miles from Latakia on the date 2012 June 22, claiming it violated the Territorial waters. In the statement made by the Syrian Ministry of Defense;

It was confirmed that "An aircraft was seen penetrating the Syrian border by about 1 km and that the plane flying at a low altitude in the territorial waters penetrated the borders, and as a result of the bombing from anti-aircraft batteries, the plane was located at a distance of approximately 10 nautical miles and that after hitting the target it was observed, it is a Turkish plane, and they participated with Türkiye in the search for pilots”1.

"Our plane was dropped as unarmed and 13 miles from the Syrian coast, outside the Syrian Territory, when we were conducting an intended test flight to try our radar system," Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Ahmet Davutoğlu said in a statement to the press on 24 June 2012.

Although the statement made by Syria seems innocent, the shooting down of our plane is a pr-calculated and planned hostile act.
