Turkey was involved in the Syrian Civil War in various ways. Mostly, by supporting insurgent groups but also by shooting down Syrian or Russian aircraft that violated its airspace, no matter how briefly. But before that, Turks were on the receiving end. One of their RF-4E recon Phantoms was shot down just off Syrian coast in 2012. Turkey then 'retaliated' by sending their F-16s to shoot down two Mi-17 helicopters, a MiG-23, one Russian and two Syrian Su-24 strike fighters, one L-39 trainer and several drones. This is part one of our video covering these incidents in detail.
