Just to be sure I understand correctly what your scenario is: Are ou really assuming we are going to see WW3 over Syria?

Or if not, what is the scenario?

Do you assume the Russians to send a hand full of Aircraft down there with their own pilots in order for them to get shot down within hours?
Or do you rather expect Russia to dislocate more than 30% of its active inventory of Fighter Aircraft down there within a few days in order to stand a reasonable chance to survive Day 1?
Where would all these Russian planes be stationed?
In Syria? In order to get shot down by rebels or destroyed on the ground by airstrikes/Tomahawks?
What will then be the next step of Russia?

Honestly I have some difficulties imagining a realistic scenario for your 'doomsday' scenario.
