U.S. led NATO member Turkey announced its F-16 Falcons shot down a Russian warplane they claim violated Turkey’s airspace.

Some news reports say the plane was a Syrian MiG-23, however, other news reports said two parachutes were seen after the plane was hit.  The combat version of MiG-23 is a single seater, only the trainer version is a two seater.  Video on the internet shows a Sukhoi 24 two seat strike aircraft going down.  Syria also flies Su-24s, not just the Russians.
