I've already answered. Turkey warns Syrian planes which approach its border prior crossing, after crossing it acts.This is the map that Turkey released:
The distance shown inside Turkey's airspace is merely 3 kilometers.
Even if the Russian plane was flying with subsonic speed, it couldn't have been inside Turkey's airspace for more than 30 seconds at most.
Now, how could have Turks warned Russian plane 10 times in 5 minutes while being Inside Turkish airspace?
Reminds me of the 90s, when Turkey used to violate Iran's airspace dozens of times while claiming to bomb PKK, and it didn't stop until we sent some Tomcats and Mig-29s to Tabriz airbase. Using Turkey's logic. it was perfectly justified to shoot down Turkey's jets who violated our airspace not once, but various times.
Also its third time Russian plane crosses Turkish border. They got warnings but kept ignoring.
