A U.S. F-16 fighter jet shot down an armed Turkish drone that was operating near American troops in Syria Thursday after several warnings, according to U.S. officials.
The shootdown came after repeated communications to stay away from U.S. ground troops near al Hasakah, in northeastern Syria.
The US and Turkey support different factions in the Syrian civil war. This video from Real Life Lore goes in depth with Turkey’s position in NATO, and IIRC it does mention about Syria:
I too enjoy shooting down my ally’s aircraft as an indication of how much I respect them.
Doesn’t NATO have aligned goals in Syria?

like Prigozhin?
Don’t reports today say it was a hand grenade?
I haven’t heard that report, but I’d guess it’s the Russians that are reporting that. Now why would they have an incentive to say that? ;)
The guy you’re responding to is a Putin bootlicker save your breath
It’s basically admitting it was an assassination lol, just not one involving a missile strike.
