Exactly lol."During our strike of Iranian & Syrian terror targets, a Syrian air defence missile was fired despite clear warnings to refrain from such fire. As a result, a number of Syrian aerial defence batteries were destroyed," the IDF said.

Hey, we're going to bomb you, don't shoot at us or we'll bomb you more."During our strike of Iranian & Syrian terror targets, a Syrian air defence missile was fired despite clear warnings to refrain from such fire. As a result, a number of Syrian aerial defence batteries were destroyed," the IDF said.
ONE missile? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! "One", that's funny. One missile at Israeli a/c? Who believes this stupidity?
"One"...not even close.
Get out your popcorn. Is my assumption correct that large scale direct conflict between Turkey/Russia in Syria would not trigger Article 5 since this is outside of Turkish borders?
Erdogan has publicly considered invoking Article 5 a couple of times during the Syrian Civil War over the downing of a radar plane and the protection of a tomb but it was not met with any enthusiasm by NATO as a whole. From a civilian interpretation, it appears Turkey is barely a NATO member as they continually stymie us with fuqq boi moves (see Germans at Incirlik to name one). Fair to say they are the "Pakistan" of NATO?

Seems legit!
Yes, that would have to be a non Article 5 request.
Us in a war with Russian on the side of Turkey?
NATO or not, no one is going to rush to Turkey's aid. We'd maybe provide some ISR support or something but even that is doubtful because of the Russian ADA presence.
I don't see NATO caring unless Russian went north into Turkey.

Turkey is deploying a fuck ton of regular army man power to take Idlib. The amount of takes on HETTs is rather impressive from a military lift perspective.
So after they take it, what are they going to do with it? Many people basically posit that Erdogan is trying to re-form the Ottoman state in modern times.

The Russians will only tolerate so much militarily and we'll only tolerate so much politically.
The Turks are out of the F-35 program and buying Russian ADA hardware. If they square off against the Russians, that avenue fails. If they think NATO will bail them out, I think that door is closed.
The Turks are overplaying their hand right now. Better to lay the smack down on Syrian/ Kurdish asses then pull out instead of messing with the bull.
This is almost as fucked up as the Taliban/ Haqqani wanting peace article.
I'm tired of endless wars but more tired of the world's shitheads.
Kill.

Wow! They must be really hard up for support if they're sending stuff like this out into the interwebs. Personally, I'd love to see the Rus and the Turk's batter each other bloody.
Over two dozen Turkish troops killed by Syrian airstrike
I feel this could end pretty bloody for Turkey. Judging by footages they and their friends seem to take a beating and things haven't even escalated yet. Maybe they should consider withdrawal before it get's ugly, and safe face.

Looks like Turkey got some retaliation.
