Turkey downed two Russian fighter jets - Putin says the US leaked its flight path


Russian President Putin has accused the U.S. of being complicit in the destruction of its military jet three days ago - he has suggested that the Americans knew exactly when and where it was traveling and had divuged that to Turkey. Putin made these charges during a press conference at the Kremlin. He has said that the Russians had given prior information to the U.S. of the flight path of the plane - but the U.S. had 'leaked' the information to Turkey.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 27 November 2015.
The Turkish military had shot down the Russian Su-24 warplane close to the Syrian border after it had reportedly violated its airspace. Both pilots ejected from the plane and one of them was rescued by Russian special forces after he landed in the forest in rebel-held territory. The other pilot was shot dead by rebels.
Anyway, Putin's dreaded S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems that had been mobilized after the destruction of the fighter jets were being unloaded from military transports in Syria.
President Putin has vowed to join France in coordinating bombing campaigns against ISIS forces and has also agreed to share intelligence information.
Incidentally, Russia has accused Turkey of 'planned provocation' and supporting ISIS in selling human organs.
However, thee are hops that there will be closer ties between Moscow and the U.S.-led anti-ISIS coalition after the Paris terror attacks in spite of animosity surrounding the downed jet.
