The question is properly framed, is there an advantage to the Americans making an announcement or releasing footage?

If an American AWAC recorded this event I suspect nothing will be said unless Russia goes totally bonkers, proving Putin wrong would not help matters in this case.
Point should be who cares if the plane was in Turkeys airspace, they claim they didn't know it was Russian, if that's the case what if it was American,French or Canadian? What then?
Turkey is full of crap and have been threw out this whole conflict. They can shoot down a war plane going 600 mph over their border but can't stop a 30 mph convoy of illegal ISIS oil?
Obama/other country leaders and Stoltenberg need to cut out the crap and call out Turkey on it's support of ISIS. Has there ever been weaker leaders..ever?
