Well there's one defending it.

It was in Turkish airspace for 17 seconds, at top speed that means it covered about 8 miles of Turkish airspace. There was definitely no attempt of escort and claims of no warning.  I cannot believe anyone would consider this anything other than an hostile act. 

I wonder if the response would be different if it were a French plane that crossed their airspace for 17 seconds and then shot down outside their airspace? It could have been any Nationality as Turkey said they didn't identify the plane;  yet some will suggest they knew it was a Military Bomber. They will even fix posts to make sure it is pointed out.

FWIW

Quote:President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia had given prior information to the United States of the flight path of the plane downed by Turkey on the Syrian border.
"The American side, which leads the coalition that Turkey belongs to, knew about the location and time of our planes' flights, and we were hit exactly there and at that time," Putin said at a joint press conference with French counterpart Francois Hollande in the Kremlin.
