It is one of those ill-defined incidents that any side can use any time for any reason de jour. I agree, it was likely a probe of Syrian air defenses or a spy mission [although satellites and drones are safer] - whatever, the truth may never be known - only what the various sides say it was and use it for......oh, boy, another WAR coming right up. NATO must be fueling up already and strapping on the bombs.....sadly, civilians will be the main victims - aren't they always!
