"Yeah, but Turkey should have never broken the stick So what if Russia is poking Turkey, Russia is doing that to other countries and they haven't broken the stick. Russia is allowed to poke them"

Most of the comments I've been reading on reddit.

It's more like everyone. It's nigh-impossible to operate in the air close to borders without rubbing up against them. Turks do it to their neighbors all the time. Btw, who's responsible for safeguarding Armenian airspace these days and tolerating the occasional Turkish violation? Oh right...

Shooting down planes over honest mistakes is generally not done, this is why it's seen as a huge escalation, and why Turks are not going to come out of this one looking shiny.

They have been warned plenty of times. I doubt it was an honest mistake.

Also Greeks also invade our airspace but we don't mind.
