I think the downing of the plane has less to do with Turkey being annoyed that Russia was potentially violating its airspace, and more to do with the fact that it's been widely reported that Russia's bombing campaign in Syria has also targeted the rebels opposed to Assad (said rebels which Turkey supports).
