Russian entry into Turkish airspace lasted 'seconds': U.S. official

38. So you shoot down a jet for flying 17 seconds into your air space

AND where the missile hit its target, the offending jet is already BACK in Syrian Territory.

The rule is no discharge from a weapon can enter the air space of another country. Thus while the Jet broke international law, so did the shoot down. That the offending jet crashed in Syria can be dismissed as just the result of what it did in Turkey, the fact that the missile that brought it down did NOT shoot down the Russian Jet till it was while in Syria is a major problem. i.e. if the missile had hit the place while in Turkish Territory, no problem if the plane later crushes in Syria. The problem is the missile hit the jet in SYRIAN TERRITORY and thus a violation of SYRIAN Air space AND PEOPLE WERE KILLED AND PROPERTY DAMAGED.

The Shoot down could have been justified, if the target was hit in Turkish Air Space, but even the Turks are admitted it did NOT. Thus Turkey did the same thing they are blaming the Russian of, violating Someone else's Air Space.
