What he will do is add to the air defences and fighter cover for all bombers, so it cannot happen again without immediate cost to the Turkish military.
I also think he will likely stop a few economic programmes with turkey and direct Russian money/trade elsewhere in the region as a punishment for bad faith.
Bombing turkey would do no good even if it was successful.
And for the comments about air to air weapons... this Su-24 had upgraded attack capability... they clearly did not intend it to be used against enemy fighters on its own.
The AMRAAM missile is not the super weapon some in the west like to pretend it is, though against an unaware enemy it gets results sometimes.
I doubt the F-16 used anything but an AMRAAM because I doubt they wanted to get too close to the target in case it turned on them.
I rather suspect Flankers will be equipped with R-77-1s which have been in production for the last three years... the fact that it has not been widely photographed on Russian fighters is a stupid argument... show me a photo of an in service Russian fighter with live AAMs on wing pylons and I will point out the black stripes indicating dummy rounds for practise.
The R-73 is still a benchmark weapon comparable to the latest available today in performance if not technology.
BTW posting images without warnings will be a problem and also pretty disrespectful too...
Reread the rules if you are not sure what to do... ask if you are still not sure.

The Su-24's max speed is 1,320 km/hour.
So if we assume the Su-24 was actually going much faster, was 17 seconds more like 5 seconds? Or perhaps even less?

It wouldn't have stalled, but it wasn't going much faster. As Said before, there's no reason for the SU to go that slow on foreign airspace, if they knew where they were. The plane would have been flying all out. SO indedwe should be looking at 200m/s roughly.thus about 9 seconds over Turkish territory. Which makes me wonder if the 17 second isn't the total time for both planes, thus one entering first and the second following one or two seconds behind. Also the fact they "picked" the second plane, while BOTH were clearing out, belies the notion that the plane didn't change course. This is preposterous and screams set up. But hey Turkish Army, born shitheads.
