My guts feeling tells me the Turks set up an ambush almost. If you look at the map, you see that the window of opporutnity where they cou,d have shot at a Russian plane over Turkish soil, is incredibly, almost hilariously small. And Erdoghan has a reputation - and by past acts of him by now also the experience - to stage forged events in the air and to provoke something that would not have happened without him wanting it to happen. Russian and Turkish interests over Syria are quite different. Russia is not the West'S ally. But Turkey is not the Wests ally either. Forget that NATO membership, that's just a too hot iron as if anyone would want to touch it - plenty of daydreaming still going on. Turkey betrays the West, that simple it is, and since a long time already, since Erdoghan came to power.
