Violating NATO airspace doesn't seem like it's from the smart boys book of war either, especially after a warningRussia is operating in Syria following a request from Assad, the Turks may not like who is being bombed but shooting down a jet is extremely stupid. An image released by the Turks shows the jet was operating in Syria and briefly flew over a part of Turkey that juts into Syria. Yes they violated Turkish airspace but shooting down the jet of a country that you're not at war with is crazy.
