The issue goes to NATO:

Turkey: Syrian plane was carrying ammunition
BBC is more neutral:
BBC News - Turkey's munitions claim on Syria plane 'lies' - Damascus
RT says yes there were weapons, what of it? It is legal, we are sending radar to Syria that we defend legally (for it to continue killing civilians - DDD):
No weapons on Syrian plane grounded by Turkey ? Lavrov ? RT News
China says "Nah it was ammunition"

So how about it? Ammo or not, Turkiye is engaging while USA is negotiating with Assad about chems.
Is it a build up for an upcoming event? Or something that needs to be silenced so as to evade an upcoming event?
