"If before the Turkish aircraft flying and permanently violated Syrian airspace, flying now," said Putin at the annual press conference broadcast live on television.
Putin said a "hostile act" to topple the Syrian border in the Russian S-400 bomber Turkey has only gotten Russia intensify its bombing against the Islamic state and strengthen its military presence in Iraq.
"What he did? I do not understand. Do they thought we were going to run away? Of course not. Russia is not one of those countries. We have increased our presence, the number of aircraft. There was no air defense systems and We have now deployed the S-400, "he said.
He also recalled that Russia has proceeded to modernize the Syrian anti-aircraft systems to repair the Buk missile systems.
The Kremlin chief said he is "virtually impossible" to reach an agreement with the current Turkish leadership, alluding to the president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who refuses to apologize for the downing of the plane, as required by Moscow.
"The growing Islamization (in Turkey), which would surely turn in his grave at Ataturk himself, has also affected us. In Turkey there are fighters from the North Caucasus," he said.
