That's assuming that's the REAL/OFFICIAL radar track. Not just what's posted on the interwebz...
Also, who knows how many, and far the Russians have transgressed in the past? Maybe they've been doing it since they arrived in the Syria operation. Maybe the Turks have issued repeated warnings to stop and Mad Vlad just keeps flipping them the bird. Just because it may NOT have made the news cycle in the U.S. doesnt mean that it wasn't happening previous.
As mentioned, whatever the ROE was,
maybe the Turks simply said "enough is enough, next time just shoot them down. Doesn't matter if it's 10 miles or a 1/10 of a mile inside".
I don't have any info, don't pretend to. But basing it off of what the interwebz is posting, NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE.
Until the FACTS come out, NO ONE knows EXACTLY what happened.
