F-16s dropping Su-24s like flies. Turkey sure is lucky to have American military hardware.

This might be the world's worst blunder - deserving of a thread of its own - but here:

Pentagon, State Department envoy clash over sending Patriot missiles to Turkey

A senior State Department official is at odds with the Pentagon over sending additional military equipment to help Turkey fight against Russian-backed Syrian government forces, four people familiar with the matter tell POLITICO.

James Jeffrey, the U.S. special representative for Syria engagement, has been pressing the Defense Department to send Patriot missile defense batteries to Turkey to help it repel the Syrian government’s assault in Syria's Idlib province, the people said. But Pentagon officials are worried about the global ramifications of a move they see as reckless.

The internal disagreement is the latest illustration of how the U.S. has struggled to tackle the long-running, multi-sided conflict in Syria, which has drawn in a range of countries and terrorist groups. President Donald Trump has on multiple occasions tried to reduce the American role in the Arab-majority country, only to agree to aides' requests not to fully pull out.

Backed by Russian air power, Syrian government forces are attempting to seize the last remaining territory there held by Turkish-backed Syrian opposition forces. At least 33 Turkish soldiers were killed in Syrian government air raids in the opposition-held province on Thursday, marking a dramatic escalation of a conflict that has driven nearly a million people from their homes in the past three months.

Turkey, a fellow member of NATO, has asked the U.S. to deploy two Patriot batteries on its southern border. Jeffrey, who is also a former ambassador to Turkey, is urging the Pentagon to follow through with the request and potentially to establish a no-fly zone, one of the people familiar with the matter said.

But senior leaders at the Joint Staff and the Office of the Secretary of Defense are resisting Jeffrey’s proposal, according to State Department and DoD officials and two additional people familiar with the discussion. Defense officials believe the move would set a bad precedent and would not change Russian or Syrian calculations in the conflict, the State Department official said.

Aircraft shot down is reported as an Su-24 around Jabal Zawiya. The most recent activity of an Su-24 here is that of a Russian jet. Therefore it is possible that a Russian jet was just shot down.
