Well, Russia is just testing NATO's resolve and defences. I'm saying NATO because this Russian jet was warned by NATO against violating Turkey's/NATO's airspace.

BRUSSELS/ISTANBUL -- NATO has called on Russia to act responsibly after Turkey summoned Russian ambassador to protest what it claimed a violation of its airspace by a Russian warplane.
"A Russian combat aircraft violated Turkish airspace yesterday, despite repeated warnings by the Turkish authorities," said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Saturday in a statement.
"Previous incidents have shown how dangerous such behavior is," he said.
He called on Russia to act responsibly and to fully respect NATO airspace. Turkey has been a member of the alliance since 1952.
Stoltenberg urged Russia to take all necessary measures to ensure that such violations do not happen again. "I welcome the direct contacts between Ankara and Moscow, and I call for calm and de-escalation," he said

Russia should be very careful about its provocations, nobody wants to escalate tensions in the region which will serve nobody interests. We dont want a repeat of seeing the shooting down of a Russian fighter jet yet again. Putin should stop violating Turkeys airspace and let's all focus on daesh.
I know some of you have your issues with Turkey(which I understand), but how is Russian fighters reportedly violating Turkey's airspace Turkey's fault?? Why say they lost their senses?? Is it because you believe they are the ones manipulating Russian pilots brain so they fly their fighters into Turkey's airspace?? Lol
I dont understand your logic.
