Prime Mobster Erdogan must be furious about the lost revenues from oil convoys that Russia attacked. There is the loot lost from current shipments, future oil the trucks could have carried plus the vehicles themselves.
The Russians cannot get too aggressive with Turkey because of the Dardanelles.
A bit of indirect action with deniable actors such as finding the Turk general who commanded the shootdown and blowing him into orbit with a car bomb; taking out the F16 pilot if they can ID him; blowing up some planes on the ground Viet Cong style or whatever subtle ideas they can come up with.
Russian strikes will get fighter escorts now.
I wonder how much payola Erdogan is sending our Loser in Chief.
Just my two dinars.

Blocking international waterway is casus belli. Turks would not dare. Again, if Russia retaliates, NATO can not invoke Chapter 5. So, no point in doing it.
Ruskies could use cyber strike teams to syphon off Erdogan’s wealth stashed around the globe and channel it to finance PKK and let Erdogan know. Also, creating havoc for Turkish economy. Russian FM advised Russians to stay away from Turkey, probably to prevent hostage situations after the payback. IMHO, this will not end well for Turkey.
