Please read my reply to you at Post #106, which explains the difference.
Further, one of the reasons the Russians are operating the Su 24 at 20,000' is to keep out of the reach of the Rebels' MANPADS. They can and do fight back.
I suspect you are here to have a go at the use of air power, which seems an odd thing to try to do on a military aviation forum. You COULD have a reasonable conversation about that here, but you would have to start by not ignoring the bits in people's responses that don't suit your position and then by getting your facts right.
Or perhaps you are just trying to provoke a response.
