To set the record straight: in commenting on today’s intrusion in Estonia, many are recalling the 2015 shootdown of a Russian jet by the Turkish Air Force, often citing that “it took only 17 seconds.” See the last paragraph here:
https://theaviationist.com/2025/09/19/russian-mig-31s-estonia/"The 2015 shootdown came against the backdrop of escalating tension between Turkey and Russia, fueled by repeated airspace violations in the preceding weeks. On Oct. 3 and 4, 2015, Russian Su-30SM and Su-24 jets had crossed into Turkish airspace over the Hatay region despite, as NATO later reported, “clear, timely and repeated warnings” by Ankara. In that case, Turkish F-16s on QRA were scrambled to identify the intruders, which eventually turned back. Still, the situation was already serious: one of the Russian Su-30SMs reportedly maintained a radar lock on the Turkish fighters for 5 minutes and 40 seconds. Moscow dismissed the episode as a “navigation error,” but Ankara responded by declaring that any further violation of its sovereign airspace would be met with lethal force, just as it had done in the past against Syrian aircraft, including a MiG-23 and a Mi-17 helicopter.That warning was not idle. On Nov. 24, 2015, the Su-24 was engaged and shot down, with Turkish officials later claiming the aircraft had ignored 10 radio warnings issued over 5 minutes before the missile launch (a version later confirmed by US officials too)."
