Again, you aren't paying attention to the ACTUAL physical land and associated airspace. What you just told me is, if Taiwani jets violate your airspace, the US can back them up too??? I like this idea
The airspace and the land is bordering between Syria and Turkey, not Russia and Turkey. The Russians have been toying with the Turkish airspace like they have been with Northern Europe. What they are missing here, is that Turkey being the defense line of NATO, a regional power asserting itself already, and already at proxy war with the Kurds/Iran/Syria, can't allow Russian trolling like the Finland and Norway did at times.
So, after many ongoing issues, today, they finally responded. And too bad, every country has a right to defend her air space. Remember when the Chinese forced-land a US P3C? And Bush had to apologize for trolling the Chinese airspace? That's how the world works. If the US back then wanted to send 100 F-15's, I think it could easily have, but you don't do that in situations like this. You follow the protocol to remain peaceful.
Here, the Russians think everyone's going to take shiit from them like Denmark, Norway and Finland have. Well, time to wake up. I can guarantee you ONE thing, the Russian jets ave ALREADY started to follow the ten mile turn protocol before the border.
I am not speaking for Turkey because they are a NATO ally. I'd say the same if the roles were opposite and would be favoring Russia if the intruding aircraft was a Turkish one.
I'd like to see China allow a Japanese fighter / strike jet to troll its coastline for ten minutes, or a Taiwanese fighter intruding the Chinese airspace for 10 minutes, and would LOVE to see a peaceful Chine sending candies back to Japan or Taiwan and asking for more intrusion
