What the Kurds would need is surface to air missile, so they don't get slaughter from the air.

Is it even "likely" that you can shoot down a jet with an manually operated anti aircraft gun? Sure it's "possible"

Not likely at all unless you have masses of them (which the Kurds don't have), though they may successfully harass attackers and reduce their bombing accuracy.

Does Turkey have guided bombs? And will they be re-supplied so that Turkish air force could use them at will?
