Since Moscow joined the struggle against Islamic State in Syria, its military efforts in the region have become a target in themselves with western mainstream media attacking Moscow, publishing unconfirmed reports and scaremongering at every opportunity.

A drone over Turkey near the Syrian border is one of the recent “Russian” targets. After the Turkish military released a statement saying that it had downed an unidentified drone in Turkish airspace, after issuing warnings that action would be taken against the aircraft, it didn’t take long for reports to emerge pronouncing it Moscow’s spy.
