And their actual deployment seems a little half assed, they have put thousands of troops in there, without a CAP or AA systems? Did they think this was an exercise? This is the country next door, and they cant maintain a CAP? UK sailed 8000 miles and had a CAP - 40 years ago.

They can't maintain CAP because Russia won't let them and the AA they want to use, bought from Russia, won't work against the Russian and Russian-made a/c bombing them. Oh the irony. Sultan Erdogan is between a rock and a hard place and he's going to try to make the EU pay for it...

Th EU is the only entity Erdo can blackmail; opening Turkey border's to EU to the migrants (but that's assuming they were closed and/or controlled to begin with) is both an economical threat and a safety threat.

So what exactly does he want Europe to do for him, to prevent him doing this?

Pay to prop up his disaster of a government

Obey him. Not angering him. Etc...

Oh this wasn't foreseeable Merkel had such a nice deal with him..

It will, ultimately be Trump's and/or Putin's fault.

France, through Jean-Luc le Drian, announced it would side with Turkey following the incident.

I would definitely oppose that. Erdo knew what he was getting into, when he forced himself into Syria. Turkey has enough assets to create their own "no fly zone" if they wanted to.

I have strong doubts that the Turkish Armed Forces retain the capability to conduct high intensity operations against Russia. The purges in the officer corps have left the Air Force in shambles. Same with the Navy. Apart from slaughtering civilians and bullying around Kurdish militias the Turks can't do S**t.

I guess Erdo doesn't want to blame the Russians, since they still have to show him how to use those S400s - the ones he gave up the F-35 for. What a narcissistic idiot Erdogan is!

In other news: The Russians first said Turkey didn't inform them that those were their troops and later said, oh it wasn't us anyway.

As has been mentioned, Erdogan went in half cocked, no CAP or anything. Perhaps if he hadn't executed or removed all his generals after the coup.....

NATO offers Turkey condolences & solidarity, but no additional military aid amid Idlib crisis

On a request from Ankara, NATO members held consultations on the situation in Idlib, Syria, where 33 Turkish soldiers have been killed. But the alliance failed to pledge additional military aid to its member.

Edrogan being strategist.. he cant being emo all of a sudden.. that qualitys of leader need.. u have to be calm.. in other hand obviously due S400 and other business dealings they already made with Russia.. even Russia playing the same game, we do not target Turkey.. clear capability of Airstrike is being done by Russia, SAA just sweep the ground after the bombardment.. both already at each other neck but they clearly refrain from admitting it in the International arena...

If they cant do S**t, they cant capable of airstrike like u witness today... even not much news from Assad forces after the bombardment which mean they has been cripple to pieces as resulted already hinder their operation to proceed in over in overtaking Idlib... Iooking at the video already know how much tanks, soldiers, Artilleries piece that being destroyed... i bet Assad forces soldiers dies around 200-300 people...

RT is reporting Turkish troops were with "terrorist troops" when they were hit.

 

[OldCode]

The Turkish counterstrikes against SAA forces are bound to impact Iran's IRGC and Afghan mercenaries in-country. Wonder what sort of reaction the Iranians will have to their forces taking damage from the Turks.

NATO is strong but not dumb. Erdofool manoeuvred himself into this mess. Grandeur and such now trying to blackmail the EU to get some cash to finance his imperial ambitions.
