Turkish warplane missing off Syria

A Turkish air force jet has gone down in Syrian waters, but Turkey's prime minister said he could not confirm media reports that it had been shot down by Syrian forces.

NATO country violates Syrian airspace, Syria shoots down NATO country's jet.

Well, that's certainly one way to escalate things.

Re: Syria v Turkey, 2012 Mid East's.

fly a war plane low and fast over another's airspace is a good way to get it shot down.

An attack on one NATO member is an attack on all NATO members. Awkward!

Hmmm, nope imo. Violating the airspace of a sovereign country with no NATO or UN approval then get shot down - no way NATO is getting involved if they didnt want to already (which is the logical interpretation of actions so far).
