I find it hard to believe that the pilot was warned 10 times over that short stretch of land. How long is that stretch of land and how fast was the jet traveling. One could quickly calculate that even if Russia was there for a few minutes it would’ve been out very quickly and shooting it down was not necessary. Turkey is provoking a conflict with Russia

There were multiple incursions, according to the Turkish military.

I’m looking at a map of turkey and the section of land where the violation took place is only about two miles wide. I would think the Russian jet would have crossed that in less than a minute and been back in Syria.
