Jets go pretty fast. 800 miles per hour in the case of the SU-24. Turkish F-16s attempted to defer the SU-24 away from their air space. They spent several minutes attempting to keep them out. When the Russian pilots declined, they were fired upon. 

As far as "no hostile intent" it's Russia. You cant get moist about how strong and powerful Putin is because of his unfounded reputation, but then get upset when people prefer not to be victims of letting him shoot first.

1st... No they were not. The plane was not shot down in Turkey.

Pat said it best, this was nothing more than Turkey showing they have the bigger Richard. The bully got punched in the mouth. 

I'm not "moist" over Putin, but as far as Russian leaders go; he's a saint.
