After we have fired all those cruise missiles and flexed our muscles in public we get our aircraft shot down in public.
If we do not repond that would be a massive loss of face. General Russian opinion appears to be somewhat between turning Turkey into a large piece of rather hot and irradiated classware and just declaring war on them and doing it the conventional way. (hyperbola intended)
Current actions by Russian leaderships are viewed as slow and indecisive and probably insufficient.
