For those who has no idea about Turkish army capabilities... Russia simply cannot do anything about that. Two days ago, Russia started to bomb Turkish origin Turkmen people in Syria and captured their strategic location(it was taken back by Turkmen forces two days later), i think, this was the reason angered Turkey and wanted to warn Russia this way. The region is getting more danger...
 
shot down with what a Aim-9 or Aim-120?
