Watching TV news video an hour ago, first they show the plane being shot down, then show the surviving pilot talking to reporters - with his back to the camera. He doesn't want to be identified! Why not?
He doesn't look like someone who has just survived an attack in the air. What a miracle - not a scratch on him??? And he's telling the reporters he wasn't in Turkish airspace and they weren't given any warnings.
I find it hard to believe that he was the person in the plane - of course he doesn't want to show his face - someone might identify him as an actor.
If he had a bandage on his arm or a scratch on his face, he might be believable but this guy can't be real, surely???
