Now if it had been a SU-35 that would have impressed me. But a 24 ? Hell, the Turks could have splashed that with one of the F-104's they probably still fly at Incirlik. LOL
Exactly. The Su-24 is a 60's era aircraft that was never intended for air to air combat to begin with. It would have been a bigger story had the Turks not been able to shoot it down with an F-16.

The F-16 is flown by many states in the Gulf region, and other allied (or at least friendly) nations, such as Taiwan. It is one of the most updated multirole combat aircraft in history.
