Q&A: The Latest Developments in Syria, and are the Paris Attacks connected to them?

Question: The Syrian airspace, especially after Russia’s brutal aggression on Syria, has become a militarily arena for American, Russian, Syrian and other aircrafts, in addition to the military conflict on the ground. Successively, the political talks have escalated in Vienna 1, Vienna 2 and Vienna 3 in addition to the side talks… My question is why hasn’t there been a military clash between these aircrafts in the air even though they are carried out by different countries?

Or are they irrelevant and that the synchronization of events was a coincidence? Please provide me, without delving into deep political analysis, with a simple answer easy for me and the general public to understand, Jazak All
