you shot an aircraft in syrian territory. you always scramble jets but dont start shooting one when it comes close to border.
you engage when it crosses the border
That is what they did, russian plane kept crossing the border flying in circles, pilot is warned multiple times with no response. Only after that the plane was shot.
Since there was no reply from the pilot, I'm guessing TurAF could not even have known if it was a Russian or Syrian plane.
And I'm no expert but a plane would not fall straight down like a brick right?
It could have been shot over Turkish territory and fallen down across the border.
