Turkey is a member NATO and Soviet fighter jets will be shot down if they enter NATO territory. They’ve done it before.

Not if they have clearance from the Edrogan govt. And to be accommodating all Edrogan need do is offer Turkish fighter protection. The Turkish AF can exchange places with RFAF over the Black Sea. Or the Russian fighters can simply return to base once approaching Turkish air space. As nutty as Zelensky might be he’s not going to order an attack in Turkish airspace. Or the simplest solution: fly three planes like POTUS’ helicopters. The idea that Putin is worried is a bit round the bend.
