Russia is doing what it can to avoid WW III. Turkey keeps poking Medved in the eye, presumably with 0's approving nod.

When/where have the s-400s been effectively deployed? Do they have any confirmed kills? Who wants to be the first? Depending on what turkey does next we might see what it can do. They were all piss and vinegar 24 hours ago. Erdogan just doubled down on stupid today. (CNN)Turkey will not apologize for downing a Russian fighter jet it says violated Turkish airspace near the Syrian border, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in an exclusive CNN interview Thursday in Ankara, the Turkish capital.
"I think if there is a party that needs to apologize, it is not us," he said. "Those who violated our airspace are the ones who need to apologize. Our pilots and our armed forces, they simply fulfilled their duties, which consisted of responding to ... violations of the rules of engagement. I think this is the essence." http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/26/middleeast/syria-turkey-russia-warplane-shot-down/ Having known quite a few personally, I believe that Turks are all about bombast, but with balls of aluminum foil when push comes to shove. |

lol. I've been rooting for Russian since this whole shit show started. I don't see that changing anytime in the near future. Plus, I like their dictator more than our dictator. Their dictator is working to make his country stronger. Our dictator is a Marxist atheist who, though no believer in "allah," is a fanatical adherent of islam as a political force. The most dangerous enemy to me and my kind is in the White House, not the Kremlin. If, 30 years ago, you had told me I would say something like that I would have laughed in your face. Times change...with startling rapidity. View Quote Heh. Better dead than red conservative go full circle.... |

here's my thought on what will eventually happen.
Since Russia is actually the only country that has permission from the Syrian gov't to fly over Syrian airspace, they will declare that ALL nations (except Russia) are no longer allowed to fly over Syrian airspace and will threaten to shoot down any plane that violates it. Just where I'm thinking this is heading. |

Both Aircrew from the Russian bomber escaped - but the Co-pilot was killed while still aloft in his parachute by Rebel ground fire...that would have sucked after having escaped a burning bomber. |

Erdogan: We’ll continue shooting down violating planesTurkey will open fire on foreign planes violating Turkish airspace in the future, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned amid a diplomatic crisis caused by the downing of a Russian warplane by the Turkish Air Force. "If another violation of our aerial border happens, we can respond in the same way,” he said. "The plane was shot down within the rules of engagement announced earlier.” "We still haven't heard any apologies from the leadership of Turkey, nor have we heard any proposal to compensate damages or to hold those responsible for this heinous crimes to account," said Vladimir Putin during an official address in Moscow. |

An airstrike here, some arms given to militants, there, maybe an embargo. It might get cold for Turkey this winter if Russia shuts off the gas, but Russia is cash strapped. It hurt Russia just as much. |

From what has been said here, any nation that doesn't have a capable air force puts its very best people into air defense, and buys the best IADS they can. I'm genuinely curious as to what type of target that missile can intercept at 250 miles. Is 250 combined range of the missile and a closing target? What altitude can it make interception? What type of energy does it retain? Even if it flies Mach 5, that is four minutes of flight, and an aircraft can do some funny things in four minutes provided it has early warning.
