He died because either Erdogan is deluded or because the Turkish military are undisciplined cowboys.
This is how a proffesional military behaves:

Irrelvent.
NATO standards are not to engage a plane outside of WVR without issuing visual warnings to an intruding aircraft. The radio warnings given by the TuAF are meanigless, they breached international norms by engaging the plane at a distance of 60km that too when it was in their airpace for mere seconds and posing no threat to Turkey.
Turkey has no right to claim the moral high ground here- they messed up big time.
This is cold and calculated murder.
What threat did an aircraft inturding for 2-17 seconds have to Turkey? Unless by national interests you mean the scum terrorists that the Russians were bombing close to the Turkish border- now that is what Turkey may have thought and if so it opens up a whole bag of awkward questions for Turkey doesn't it?
