Two, possibly 3 Syrian SU-24 fighter-bombers shjot down by Turkish AF F-16(s). The SU-24 is a BIG plane. It wasn't a dogfight, seems to have been infrared missiles brought the planes down.

It ain't the aircraft. It's the driver. The Turks have been building their own F-16's since 1984.
They shot down a Syrian trainer aircraft (an L-39A Albatros) today too.
Mind you, this guy says the Turks are short of plane drivers.
