online dog fight


Explanation:
"Sanal" kelimesinin tam karşılığı "virtual" olsa da, burada internet ortamı kastedildiğinden "online" tabiri de kullanılabilir.

cyber brawl


Explanation:
Based on the context of Hurriyet's news piece, two facts are absolutely clear: 1) The TL equivalent of the word "sanal" is NOT "virtual", but "cyber", simply because the article refers to the medium of the ongoing problem between the Turkish and Greek airplanes over the Aegean as "the internet". Secondly, the nature of this conflict is not a "fight" per se, but rather a "brawl" which hints at a yet unintensified fight, i.e. a fight in its preliminary phase. I am fully confident that the SL phrase corresponds to none oher than "cyber brawl".

Example sentence(s):
  • After a long and trying cyber brawl, the opposing political parties came to a consensus on the new climate change bill.

Cyber-warfare (also known as cybernetic war or cyberwar


Explanation:
Cyber-warfare (also known as cybernetic war[1], or cyberwar) is the use of computers and the Internet in conducting warfare in cyberspace.[2]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberwar

As an
initial approach, these terms can be translated as 'cybernetic war,'
'informational war' and 'warfare within computer networks.'
