I wonder if this was incident or on porpoise? I mean, Turkey owes Russia some servicemen, but I don't think Russia plays that way, so I'm leaning on incident.

Mr. Putin doesn't seem like the kind of guy to sneak around like that. If it was payback, he would say so in public and then flip them the bird.
