Since Russia supports Assad who is the legitimate leader of Syria, then Assad could give Russia legitimate authority to do exactly as you suggest, shoot down Turkey jets that slip into Syrian airspace. In fact, that seems the most likely first outcome.

With the right MANPADS, the PKK could start shooting down Turkish Air Force jets and choppers in Turkish airspace.

Yes, but that would more likely escalate the conflict. Escalation may be inevitable. Who knows. I can hope not.

Nato has been dealing (ignoring) Turkish airforce incursions into Greek airspace which occur weekly.

Videos all over on youtube.

>> “Why didn’t you just escort that Russian plane out of your airspace?” <<

Because it was never in their airspace, but they wanted to avenge Obama’s ‘honor.’
