Vladimir Putin has broken off any military contact with Turkey
in the fight against ISIS and is deploying a warship, with an air
defence system, to the Mediterranean Sea. The cruiser will destroy 'any
targets representing a potential danger' to Russian forces in Syria, as a
leading Moscow military analyst said war was 'most likely'. Britain has
up to 12 Typhoon warplanes - designed for air-to-air combat - on
standby to support Turkey in any revenge attack by Putin's forces.
President Barack Obama also pledged America's support for Turkey
following a phone call with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan. Australian
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull today said the potential repercussions
of the incident is 'a matter of great concern'.
