It`s different, Ukraine did lost Crimea to Russia and Russia did more than helped rebels in Eastern Ukraine, it`s typical proxy war between Kremlin and White House. Rules have been written long time ago.
Turkey had no real reason to shut down air plane, i`m not saying that Russia will declare war to Turkey but those who think Turkey will not feel consequences of its act is delusional, they just got themselves a brand new enemy.
Well, I agree. Hopefully Turkey will feel the consequences of shooting down a Russian military jet. This has basically never happened after WWII.
It did happen, Pakistan downed a Soviet Su-25 during the Afghan war. AFAIK no serious action was taken; the Su-25 in that case was I believe slightly in Pakistani airspace, hunting the Mujahadeen supply lines that the Pakistanis had passing into their territory.
