Topic: Russian Jets

State Department spokesperson Admiral John Kirby faced sharp questioning from an RT reporter regarding proof of Russian jets violating Turkish airspace. Kirby asserted that the violation is a "fact" and not an "accusation," while maintaining that the U.S. is not responsible for providing evidence to Russia. Additionally, Saudi Arabia has expressed readiness to contribute ground troops to the anti-ISIS coalition in Syria.

The Pentagon acknowledged a "close encounter" between a US aircraft and a Russian jet over Syria, though the aircraft remained 20 miles apart. The hosts mock the media's portrayal of the event, noting that 20 miles is not a "close" distance in aviation terms. The incident highlights the lack of a formal deconfliction agreement between the two militaries as they operate in the same airspace.
