Of all Israel's neighbors, Syria is the most dangerous. Egypt and Jordan were bought off by the US and the UK. Lebanon is a basket case and as close to a failed state as any in the region. Assad is as horrible a person as Putin.
But this drone affair was just an example of Russia and the US testing one another. Was the Russian pilot acting non professionally? I would not say that, he was doing what he was told to do. Military pilots obey orders. I would be surprised if all the communications between the Russian pilot and Putin were intercepted by US intel.
No actual action will occur because of this. Just as the skirmishes the US and Russia have had in Syria, this was a mutual game of chicken.
Of course, the drone could have easily and deliberately collided with the Russian plane, but did not.
