Turkish air force reports it shot down unidentified drone

Turkey's air force shot down an unidentified aircraft - reportedly an unmanned drone - that entered Turkish airspace near the Syrian border, the Turkish armed forces said Friday in a statement. The drone was given three warnings by the Turkish military, but there was no response, Turkish officials said. All Russian aircraft returned from their combat missions in Syria, and Russian drones continue their aerial reconnaissance and "are functioning as planned," the Russian defense ministry said via Facebook. The origin of the drone is still unknown to officials but two U.S officials told CNN that the drone was from the Russians. Russia also recently entered the 4 1/2 year war that Syria is battling right now on the side of President Assad. Russia jets, in coordination with the Syrian regime, have conducted airstrikes against ISIS and other terrorist groups, broadly interpreted as opponents of the Assad regime. My reaction to it is I don't understand why all these countries are fighting and having all these wars when there doesn't need to be wars!
