Clip claims to record Turkish warning to downed Russian jet

A recording published by Al Arabiya claims to be a Turkish air traffic controller’s audio warning to a Russian jet that was shot down by the Turkish Air Force on Tuesday.

“Unknown air traffic position onto Humeymim 020, redirect to 26 miles. This is Turkish Air Force speaking – en guard. You are approaching Turkish airspace. Change your heading south immediately,” the recording reportedly claims to say.

The recording was said to be provided to Al Arabiya by the pilot of a Middle East Airlines flight that was in the air at the time of the incident and had heard the warning several times before.
