Russia will keep its aircraft further from the border. More anti aircraft missiles will be moved into Syria, by the US (supply to rebels) and the Russians. It will be harder for Russian aircraft to operate in Syria (rebels shot down a Russian helicopter trying to rescue the pilots). US-supplied anti tank missiles will make life harder for Russian-backed government forces on the ground. It may also be harder for the US, France, etc to bomb ISIS targets in Syria (if they overfly government controlled areas). This is a recipe for an increasing stalemate in Syria.

They hit it with a TOW after it landed due to some malfunction. One of the soldiers in the helo was killed.
