Turkey shoots down "Russian Jet" near border

Russian reply will surely depend upon the posture of Beijing.
And knowing the Chinese, I can say they will not give a go ahead for this.
This will end with more rigorous bombing of ISIS, support to Kruds in Turkey and covert warfare.
They will provide more weapon to Kurds. For Turkey, Kurds seem to be more threat than ISIL.

Russians have so far made it clear that they think it's Syrian rebels who brought it down, not Turkey. It's a weird response, because Turkey have CLAIMED that they shot the plane down.

It's obvious Russia either don't want to respond or can't respond so will spin this off.

Russia can give guided anti tank missiles and MANPADs to the Kurds, this may even make the prospect of a Kurdistan inside Turkey a real possibility.

You see, As long as the pilots are "safe".
Russians will keep their priorities same.

But if the pilots have been killed, Then well, Good luck to whats ahead.

Why are Chinese so anti-Turkey? Is it because of Turkish support to Uighurs?

Russia is too smart to get drawn into a wider conflict with Turkey. There will be some statements, some tensions...and in the end Russia is not going to fly so close to the border anymore.

That will be that......warmongering bozos will be sorely disappointed.
Turkey is always support terrorists. Who the hell can tolerate with it? I can tell you Russia will deploy more fighters along the border and more advanced type. Back off is not the way Rusky dealing things. Next time Tu95 carrying nukes will fly along the border and please shoot it down as well.

Depends

If Russian state television is spinning it off as rebels downing the plane, which is what they're doing, talking about surface to air missiles, according to analysts listening to Russian state TV, then it's pretty obvious that even with a dead pilot, they can spin it by just bombing the rebel areas, without any relation to Turkey.

A war with Turkey is not simple, there is NATO, there is the Turkish army, and not sure, maybe @Sinan can confirm but Turkey have a nuclear deterrent from the US as well?
