On 10 August 2017, members of the Turkish national police special operations department in the southern city of Adana, arrested a Russian national on suspicion of planning a drone attack against the U.S. Incirlik air base in southern Turkey. The male suspect, a known ISIS sympathizer, used the Telegram messaging application to obtain nearly $800 to buy a drone. The Russian national admitted that he was scouting the area around the air base in order to shoot down a U.S. plane and attack U.S. soldiers.
