CNN Türk English has a flight analysis diagram they claim was provided to them by military sources, claiming the Russian jet encroached on Turkish airspace:

[The same diagram on Twitter Verified @CNN_Türk: https://twitter.com/cnnturk/status/669105783729180672 https://twitter.com/cnnturk/status/669105783729180672 ]
The distance between borders at that point is 2 - 3km across (measured via Google Maps), which would be a few seconds of travel time. Russia claims the jet never even entered Turkish airspace. Following the red line, it seems to have crashed in Syrian airspace, not Turkish territory.
I was about to link to this next tweet as an example of the 3km border-to-border measurement, until I noticed... this is the only tweet this account has posted. Which rather undermines its own credibility & makes me wonder how much of a social media propaganda fight is also occurring right now:
