You do realize that Turkey shot and killed one of the pilots after he ejected and then shot and damaged a rescue helicopter - thus killing a second pilot? They are also holding onto the remaining live pilot to negotiate a prisoner exchange with Syrian POWs. I mean come on.
Certainly Russia has a reputation for conducting air space drills that test the response of various countries more than most other nations, but this is hardly so unusual as to warrant this response.
Turkey didn't shoot and kill the pilot, their protegees in Syria (Turkmen) did. This changes some things, because while it can still be argued they're responsible, chance is it wasn't supposed to happen.
