Turkey has ordered its military to shoot down all Russian aircrafts on sight, claiming that a Russian Su-34 plane violated its Turkish airspace on Friday.

The Turkish government declared raising its alert level for the Air Force to what is called “orange warning”, which implies that pilots can shoot down any aircraft they see as airspace violation.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday warned Russia of “consequences”, claiming it is frequently violating Turkish airspace. Before leaving for a visit to Chile, Erdogan said “If Russia continues to violate Turkey’s sovereignty; it will have to face the consequences.”

“These kinds of irresponsible acts not only damage NATO-Russian relations but also the regional and global peace,” the president claimed.

For its part, Russia assured there has been no breach for Turkish airspace, assuring there has not been a single violation of Turkish airspace by Russia air force planes in Syria.

Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Iror Konashenkov said on Saturday “There have been no Turkish airspace violations by the aircraft of the Russian airborne tactical formation [acting] in the Syrian Arab Republic.” He pointed out that “The statements from the Turkish side concerning the alleged air incursion by a Russian Su-34 are proof-less propaganda.”

Konashenkov stressed that the airspace controlling radar stations that Turkey has can only determine the altitude, flight line, and speed of an aerial vehicle, but not its type or state affiliation.

Earlier, the Turkish foreign ministry said it summoned Russian ambassador to Ankara late Friday after it claimed that Russia’s SU-34 violated Turkey’s airspace.

In a written statement, the ministry said Turkish air force warned the Russian aircraft several times on Friday in Russian and English, adding that the violation is also a new and concrete indicator of Moscow’s actions which aims at “accelerating problems despite open warnings by our country and by NATO.”

On November 24, Turkish air force shot down a Russian jet and crashed a few miles into Syria, claiming it has violated Turkish airspace, whereas Moscow insisted the Su-24 stayed over Syria during its flight.

The incident provoked a deep political crisis between Ankara and Moscow. Since then, the two countries have been locked in a war of words.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has demanded an apology from the Turkish leadership and a compensation for the damage. President Erdogan has so far refused to apologize for the incident and blamed the downing on the Russian pilots, one of which was killed in the incident.

Russia’s Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has ordered economic sanctions against Turkey.

The multiple sanctions on Ankara include banning agricultural trade with Turkey, reintroducing a visa regime, and suspending most bilateral economic projects, including the Turkish Stream gas pipeline construction project.

Upon official request by the Syrian government, Russia has been carrying out anti-terrorist operations in Syria since September 2015. Russia’s Su-27 and Su-30 fighter jets, Su-34 and Su-24 tactical bombers, and Su-25 attack aircrafts have been carrying out airstrikes on ISIL and other al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist groups in Syria.
