The USA isn't suppose to be in Syria. The USA is there to support the Arab Coalition and the Iraq military. There is no legislation regarding the USA in Syria.
There are jet fighters involved with Syria coming from the Arab Coalition. Russia needs to come to an agreement with the Arab Coalition in regard to their efforts to secure their countries and end the threat of Daesh.
Jordan lost a pilot in this struggle. It is not just the USA. The fact the jets of the Arab Coalition are coming into proximity of Russian jets is because Russia has not set up a relationship with the Arab Coalition.
And Russia should not be practicing brinkmanship. If Russia had set up a relationship with the Arab Coalition then identifying jets would not be necessary. The real problem here are leaks. The Arab Coalition have their strategy. What guarantees can Russia provide that any information shared won't be leaked to a very computer saavy Daesh?

Russia (click here) said its warplane flying bombing raids in Syria came close to a U.S jet in the area, highlighting the risks of its military campaign as the former Cold War foes remain at odds over how to coordinate their operations in the Middle Eastern country.
A Russian Su-30 fighter jet flew within about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) to 3 kilometers of a U.S. warplane on Oct. 10 during a mission in Aleppo Province, according to a statement by the Defense Ministry in Moscow on Wednesday. The intention was to identify the plane and “not scare anyone,” with Russian and U.S. officials planning to discuss the incident, it said in the statement.
While Russia’s ready to talk about its campaign with “maps in hand,” the U.S. only wants to hold technical discussions to prevent clashes between the nations’ air forces conducting bombing operations over Syria, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told lawmakers in Moscow on Wednesday. The Defense Ministry said it plans to discuss the close call between the warplanes by video link with the Pentagon.
