Turkish fighter jets have shot down a Russian warplane near the Syrian border after it violated Turkey's airspace, officials say.

Russia's defence ministry said the downed jet was Russian and said Turkish airspace was not violated.

The Turkish presidency confirmed the downed plane was Russian.

Turkey's military said two Turkish F-16s were involved in the shooting of the plane after it was warned 10 times in five minutes.

Seemed like a matter of time till something like this happened.
Could this be any more of a clusterfuck? What do you think are the likely outcomes?

Good news! Rumours have it that the pilots got out, and is currently on the ground, possible involved in a firefight between a Russian search-and-rescue operation and turkish troops/rebels/someone else/some other of the gazillion small groups involved in this nightmare.
