You would think that Turkey would have more interest in the Russians ridding ISIS from their border than a slight infringement into their airspace, oh hang on...
Turkish Police discovered an arms shipment heading for ISIS. Medals all around. No. Erdogan, Turkey's lovely Predident, ordered the arrest of all the Judges and Police Officers involved. The man is the Dictator in the region and the West just sit back and watchElroy Blue said:

It does sound awfully 'Russian' of them to ignore 10 warnings though! Maybe they were just lost or going on holiday to Turkey (2nd favourite holiday destination for Russian military personnel behind Eastern Ukraine).

Erdogan is an unpleasant fellow, but he won an election. The election was far from perfect, but it was a lot cleaner than the sham process that purportedly gives legitimacy to Putin.
Erdogan closed down all the newspapers and TV stations that refused to support him. He arrested the Editors. It's a dictatorship with a legitimate face. Elroy Blue said:

On the cards for the past few weeks. It will blow over.
I dont think it's the first time this month that Russian military jets have flown over areas of interest to quite a few countries. I cant work Russia's agenda out, they're either dumb as fk or operating on an intelligence level way above what I can comprehend with what they do. simo1863 said:

A jet needed to be scrambled to go inverted 2 metres above the Russian cockpit while the pilot is flipping the bird at the Russians. It's the only thing they understand Apart from that, NATO Article 5 is twitching. With luck and diplomacy the incident will indeed blow over, as long as the pilots aren't buggered about so to speak.
