After Plane Downed, Russian Cruiser Moves Close to Turkish Coast

After Turkey downed a Russian warplane on Tuesday, November 24, Moscow responded by sending a warship close to Latakia, near the Syrian-Turkish border, where Russia has a military base. On Thursday, the Kremlin released footage of the ship and of a surface-to-air missile system they say will be used to protect the base and Russian personnel in the region.
