2 people were killed for trespassing. Sickening, IMHO.

  Stepping over an invisible line has much bigger consequences if you are piloting a powerful military aircraft and acting as agents of the foreign and non-friendly state.

  They were piloting an SU-24 ground attack aircraft. It is not unlikely that it had just finished and was about to continue attacks on areas with ethnic Turks. And certainly the aircraft had participated in attacks on moderate Syrians (whatever that means) which are allied with Turkey.

  On the other hand, I'm sure Turkey would argue that they used the minimum force necessary to remove a repetitive trespasser from their sovereign territory.
