Jake here is pretty ignorant about his subject matter. The SU-24s are pure medium bombers like the F-111s, whereas the F-16s are air superiority fighters. Two entirely different roles, so there can be no match between them. However, wait until the SU-27s and SU-30s start escorting the bombers and the F-16s might have a real fight.

I would not be surprised if, after this point, the Russians started doing escorts, just waiting for an opportunity to pop any Turkish plane which strays even a millimeter into Syria.

“.. just waiting for an opportunity to pop any Turkish plane which strays even a millimeter into Syria.”

Or even thinks about getting close to the border.
