I don't think so. Pilots will be wearing helmet mounted with night vision goggles so therefore a bigger side window provide a larger viewing area when looking down at the ground.

But the bullet proof glass on those side windows are more vulnerable when taking hits from enemy fire. I think the Indian light attack helo also have very big side windows.

Rumours of a jet being shot out of the sky come amid heightening tensions between Russian president Vladimir Putin and the West.


According to the

, one journalist tweeted that three Turkish planes had been responding to 'mysterious' lock-ons from MIG-29 jets, which are used by Putin's forces.

It comes days after another Russian aircraft violated Turkish airspace.

If true, this is a very serious development. Turkey is a member of NATO, any attack on Turkey could result in a much more serious conflict.

Please discuss this development in detail the ISIS/ISIL Crisis Thread, though some aspects of the actual Turkish military equipment used could be discussed here.

My guess is that it was either ground fire from Turkish AAW or could also have been Turkish F-16s.
