What was Turkey up to?

Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov believes that the Turks plotted to invade Syria. What is happening on the Turkish-Syrian border speaks of intensive preparations for a military invasion, said Major General Konashenkov. On the same day, a high-ranking source at the Russian Foreign Ministry told a RIA journalist “News”That Ankara’s ban on Russian observation flights confirms Moscow’s concern over the use of the Turkish-Syrian border to support IG.



What is happening on the Turkish-Syrian border shows that Turkey is preparing for a military invasion of Syria, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov told 4 on February.

“We have serious reasons to suspect Turkey’s intensive preparation for a military invasion of the territory of a sovereign state - the Syrian Arab Republic,” Konashenkova quotes. Interfax. “Signs of the covert preparation of the Turkish armed forces for active operations in Syria, we are fixing more and more.”

The official representative also recalled that earlier the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation presented video evidence: the shots show how Turkish self-propelled artillery installations fire at Syrian settlements in the north of Latakia.

“We are surprised that the talkative representatives of the Pentagon, NATO and numerous so-called human rights organizations in Syria, despite our call to respond to these actions, are still silent,” said Konashenkov.

He also said that the Russian defense ministry strengthened all types of intelligence in the Middle East.

“Therefore, if someone in Ankara thinks that the cancellation of the flight of Russian observers will allow something to be hidden, then it is unprofessional,” he said. RIA News".

As for the cancellation of observational flights, there is news on this topic. It dates back to the same February 4 as the statement by Konashenkov for the press.

Turkey’s ban on Russian observation flights confirms Moscow’s concern over the use of the Turkish-Syrian border to support the Islamic State, said RIA News" high-ranking source in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.

The agency does not disclose the source name.

Moscow considers Ankara’s refusal to conduct an observation flight over Turkey within the framework of the “open skies” treaty blatant, this source told RIA Novosti.

The agency reminds that the flight of a group of Russian observers over the territory of Turkey was planned from 1 to 5 in February. However, after the announcement of the planned route, the Turkish military refused to conduct it, citing the instructions of its Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“The case is, of course, blatant, because today, in fact, the agreement on open skies is one of the few mechanisms that continue to operate in the common European space. Moreover, this agreement is effective, and it allows you to have reliable information about the steps taken or not taken by this or that state, ”said an unnamed interlocutor of RIA Novosti. And he pointed out that “a year ago, when our Western partners tried to actively accuse Russia, that we had some kind of unspecified activity along the border with Ukraine, it was the flights of the planes of NATO countries under the open sky agreement that completely refuted all those fabrications”.

So what can a Turkish ban mean? The source has the answer to the question: “There is no need to try to solve some rebus. This is an obvious fact. If you are not allowed to fly there, then there is something to hide. There is something to hide not only from us, there is something to hide from the international community. This once again confirms the concerns that the Russian side has repeatedly voiced about the use of the Turkish-Syrian border in order to support the ISIL militants. ”

In the evening of the same 4 February, the press published a response from the Russian Foreign Ministry about the Ankara ban.

Russia does not intend to leave unanswered the ban of the Turkish authorities on the observation flight of the Russian An-30B in violation of the open sky treaty and is waiting for support from other countries, the agency reports "Prime".

Consider and comment the other side.

As the IA "REGNUM", the reason for the refusal of Russia in an observation flight over the territory of the country and near the borders of Syria was explained by the Turkish Foreign Ministry. A ministry spokesman, Tanju Bilgić, said that observation flights are carried out when both parties reach agreement on a flight plan.

"In the case of the observation flight requested by the Russian Federation on 2-5 February 2016 of the year, the parties could not agree on the flight route, and thus it was not carried out," the agency quotes the official representative of the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

Meanwhile, the REGNUM news agency reminds that earlier Sergei Ryzhkov, head of the Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for Control over Contract Enforcement, reported that the flight to An-30B was planned from February to 1 through 5. Ryzhkov said: "There were no preconditions or restrictions on the observation flight by Russia from Turkey."

The fact that the political relations of Turkey and Russia are in one of their worst phases is also indicated by the breakdown of the Geneva talks, arranged by Turkey and the United States with the aim of provocative attacks on Russia.

The US State Department and President Erdogan behind him explained the actual disruption of the inter-Syrian negotiations in Geneva by the operation of the Russian videoconferencing system, the newspaper reminds "Sight". Representatives of the legal authorities of Syria, as well as Russian diplomats, are convinced that the disruption of Geneva-3 was planned by the delegation of the opposition, acting on orders from Turkey, as well as Saudi Arabia.

Western and Middle Eastern patrons of the "opposition" turned the blame on the Assad government, and the State Department blamed Russia. The Geneva talks were terminated due to the fact that the Russian Aerospace Forces allegedly fired on a humanitarian convoy, said State Department spokesman John Kirby, pointing to "bombing against civilian targets."

Turkish President Erdogan bluntly stated that negotiations to resolve the crisis in Syria cannot be held as long as the operation of the Russian Aerospace Forces continues in the country.

And one more fact speaking about the “frosty” stage in Turkish-Russian relations.

Last week, Ankara accused Russian pilots of violating Turkish airspace. The Su-34 bomber incident occurred on January 29, notes RBC. The Turkish side claims that the pilot was warned in Russian and English. In turn, Moscow rejected these accusations of violating the airspace and demanded evidence.

It is clear that Turkey, the Middle Eastern monarchies like Saudi Arabia and, of course, the United States, will continue to do everything to overthrow Assad in Syria. Erdogan, who considers Assad a "butcher" and a "murderer," has long dreamed of ending the current Syrian government. The same goals are pursued by the United States. Ankara, feeling behind its back the invisible presence of the United States and NATO, is capable of any actions. The possible invasion of Syria does not seem fiction at all: everything that Uncle Sam approves of and that can somehow harm Russian interests has a high chance of coming true.

          I do not think that the Russian leadership will calmly look at such aggression of Turkey.
          But it’s interesting, what does the NATO charter say about the military operations of one of the NATO members not agreed with Brussels? Mandatory support, termination team, or another concern?

            Here is a quote from Article 5, taken from the site of NATA itself:
            The Contracting Parties agree that an armed attack on one or more of them in Europe or North America will be considered an attack on them as a whole and, therefore, agree that if such an armed attack takes place, each of them , in the exercise of the right to individual or collective self-defense recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist a Contracting Party that has been subjected or to Contracting Parties subjected to such an attack by immediately exercising such individual or joint action, which it considers necessary, including the use of armed force to restore and subsequently maintain the security of the North Atlantic region.

            Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result of it are immediately reported to the Security Council. Such measures will cease when the Security Council takes the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.

            That is, he considers it necessary to use armed force - apply. But he doesn’t consider it - he will only provide moral support in the media. Well, maybe he’ll share his humanitarian aid ...

          Miracle is Erdogan's "stroke".
          It seems that the players from the "other" side made a key stake on him in organizing a big batch on the BV.
          If this figure disappears from their plan, then this will entail its correction in terms of the start of the war in connection with force majeure circumstances.
          At least, the fact that the war is already on the verge also indirectly confirms the fact that literally from the beginning of February, active information processing began of the Western citizen’s consciousness about Russia's aggressive intentions in the Baltic States and Sweden, the bombing of peaceful Syrians that provoked a flow of refugees to Europe and violations of the cart. expanse of Turkey, leading to the idea that it is necessary to defend itself and this is inevitable.
          As for the timing, it seems to me that the start will be given three or four months before the US presidential election, so that the mattress people rally in front of an external "threat". In the battle between Republicans and Democrats for the presidency, the factor of war will be decisive for the advantage.
          They just seem to have forgotten that not so long ago the GDP said that in order to protect its interests, the Russian Federation would use all its weapons, including nuclear ones. Maybe Wang was right predicting that the black president would be the last in US history? Time will tell. Russia is terrible for its improvisation, and our arguments are iron. We will break through.

          Do not confuse modern Russia and the Russian Empire since the time of Nikolai the Bloody! These are two big differences.

          In addition, the Russo-Japanese War was essentially an invasive war, unleashed not without the help of the British and Americans. And if it were not for the mediocrity of the tsarist generals and their direct betrayal (Stessel and Fock are examples of this), then we would hardly have lost the war! By the way, Russia's lag in military-technical terms also affected. White shirts were clearly visible, the shells in the fleet were much inferior to the Japanese, there were practically no machine guns, corruption and betrayal were almost universal!

          So the comparison is clearly not successful! In the Russian-Turkish wars this was not observed, well, maybe only with the exception of the Crimean War, where almost the whole West entered Turkey! And directly with the participation of its armed forces. Now they are trying to make Russia an aggressor, but so far they have failed. I do not believe that the Americans will go directly to fight for Turkey, they have a different task, so that anyone would fight, but not them!

            We do not have direct access to the borders of Turkey, the Black Sea Fleet is weak in comparison with the Turkish one, it is enough for the Turks to break through the thin line of SAA in Latakia - and in a couple of hours their tanks will reach our base, and it is impossible to repulse the 20-30 thousand attack with hundreds of armored vehicles. Aviation will simply crush the 8 of our fighters in bulk, the anti-air defense units will destroy both the C-400 and C-300. On the ground, a battalion of marines and several tanks with armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, which can only be protected from a pistol, will also not last long. And we won’t be able to help our troops - there are no common borders with Turkey. In our country, Tatarstan supports Turkey, it can strike the rear.

              Well, yes, but in our General Staff there are some stupid generals who have, according to your logic, one gyrus, and that one is from a cap! Nobody sees anything, intelligence does not work, and the generals are sitting and waiting for the Turks to attack them, so what ?!

              Your conclusions are based on your ignorance and absolute non-knowledge of realities! You served in the army, feel free to ask ?!

              If you do not know, then Russia showed in 2014 (if I am not mistaken) how it can transfer large masses of troops and create large groups in a day on the territory where there are no land borders. The exercises took place on the territory of the Kaliningrad region, and if my memory serves me, then in a day ours collected and deployed either 10 or 20 thousand with equipment and supplies, while NATO members deployed their five thousand "quick response" for five days, having no border problems!

              You should talk with my brother, so he would tell you how our special forces work and how much time they need to capture Erdogan’s palace!

                You are confusing something, nowhere is there evidence that exactly all 9 thousand were transferred there from other parts of the country, and not the Kaliningrad region itself, in which many parts are already concentrated

                  Maybe I'm confusing, I do not insist that I'm right! But to think that our General Staff is not calculating the options for attacking Turkey, you’ll agree too silly. Have you found a way to transfer the S-400 in the shortest possible time ?! I am not a great strategist, but I think we have something to answer to Turkish aggression, otherwise no one would get involved in such an adventure, I do not believe in stupid generals! I’m personally acquainted with one personally, quite competent and sensible man, young enough, something around 50 with a ponytail. They are ready for anything, although no one is publicizing it.

                    C-400 was transported via Iran and Iraq via transporters. And to transfer a tank army - you need about 500-600 IL-76. And where to get them and where will they sit? In desert? In the mountains? And where to get ammunition? For one artillery preparation, Msta-S can process up to 8 tons of ammunition. Only one self-propelled guns.

But there is only one thing, but now it’s not 1905, and thank God it’s not forty-first. But the people are the same. While peacetime of actual military generals, not so many of them without any shyness are being pushed by careerists and all kinds of grabbers. So do not flatter yourself strongly, do not. Yes, of course, not the fools but the gods are sitting in the General Staff, and the General Staff is also a likely adversary. Therefore, if a massive offensive begins on the Turkish side, there is almost nothing to oppose to this. No matter how the Turks were blamed, their army is the strongest in Europe and the Middle East. But what do we do in the event of an invasion, I do not even dare to predict. Because the Syrians are certainly good guys, and getting involved in full-scale hostilities is somehow not handy, not only is the theater of operations very far, it is also located outside the territory of a potential enemy. It used to be in Spain.

                In Kaliningrad, there were no air defense systems and there were no enemy fighters. And to send troops with armored vehicles in which armor with a gulkin’s nose on unprotected transporters is to throw people into a meat grinder. We can’t go by sea - the Turkish fleet in the first salvo is almost 3 times superior to ours, and there are missile defense systems both new and not old. Yes, and 12 thousand - this is negligible to fight with a half-million army. When we entered Syria, there was no question of a war with Turkey. Can you tell me how to fight a country without nuclear weapons, where it is impossible to deliver troops?

              We do not have direct access to the borders of Turkey, the Black Sea Fleet is weak in comparison with the Turkish one, it is enough for the Turks to break through the thin line of SAA in Latakia - and in a couple of hours their tanks will reach our base, and it is impossible to repulse the 20-30 thousand attack with hundreds of armored vehicles. Aviation will simply crush 8 of our fighters


              Your concerns are understandable, but still I will object

              I hope other factors play:

              1) Access to the borders of the Russian Federation is not needed; to the Russian Federation it does not wage a land war - it is waged for Russia by the allies of Iran with the IRGC and Hezbollah + Syrians loyal to Assad. They will fight in case of Turkish aggression. Te protection of the Russian base does not have to defend itself alone against the 30 000 Turks

              2) The Black Sea Fleet is weaker than the Turkish fleet - yes it is - but in case of conflict the Turkish fleet in the World Cup will be destroyed immediately and will not be able to realize the advantage. Russia will transfer aviation from other directions + there are coastal complexes

              3) Yes, Turkey has strong air forces - the only moment where neither Iran nor Syria can resist. I think c-300 and the transfer by Russia of additional 100-150 fighters more than equalize the chances

              I won’t even comment. Tatarstan is the basis and bastion of Eurasia. The second center and the heart of Russia. Due to isolated cases, it is not worth talking about all the Tatars. They will not choose Turkey instead of Russia

              5) But of course, Turkey is a strong country and also a member of NATO - and God forbid, it will start to fight with Syria Assad (and, therefore, automatically with Iran) - Russia will have to somehow take part to protect the allies. It is clear that Russia will never leave Syria and Iran alone with the Turks and the West. One on one RF will certainly deal with Turkey - But it will all be very, very bad, everything will be here - here I agree with Lesnoy

                1) There are far fewer troops in Syria than the Turks. Do not forget tens of thousands of militants - they will not sit still when their masters advance.
                2) In the event of a conflict, the attacker will have the initiative, so our ships will be under attack, but there is no modern missile defense.
                3) There is no place to throw 100-150 fighter jets - there is nowhere to land such a large compound in either Syria or Iran, especially since Iran will permit the use of its airfields.
                4) The Tatarstan government did not support the sanctions against Turkey, but supported the Turks.

Russia and Turkey are only separated by the Black Sea, where we already have 2 submarines with "Calibers", 2 more submarines are undergoing sea trials, i.e. already afloat. There are good airfields in Crimea. Have you forgotten the range of the SU-30 or SU-35? I'm not talking about bombers. This is for the seed. When (and if!)

              Dear sofa echperd, I recommend that you at least get acquainted with the opinions of knowledgeable people, and only then gag the gag ..
              "The entry of Turkey and Saudi Arabia into the war against the Syrian armed forces will mean an inevitable clash with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation," military analyst, vice-president of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems Konstantin Sivkov emphasized in a comment to the VZGLYAD newspaper. , the expert believes ...
              “The Turks have fairly well-trained armed forces,” Sivkov notes. - In principle, they can conduct hostilities, and quite successful. However, if they begin military operations against the Kurds or against the Syrian army, a Kurdish militia may “explode” behind them. ”

              But at the same time, the level of technical equipment of the Turks can be assessed as average. If we compare it with the Syrian armed forces, to which we have recently supplied quite modern weapons, it may turn out that the Turkish armed forces will be technically even less trained than the Syrian army.

              “The main tank fleet of the Turkish army is represented mainly by rather outdated equipment: American M-60 tanks and German Leopard-1A2. These tanks are significantly inferior in combat capabilities of the T-90, which are already in the Syrian army, the modernized T-72BM. Especially M-60, - the expert explains. “The likelihood that in the event of an invasion of the Turks there will be tank clashes there is high.”

              The Turkish air defense systems are represented by the American Hawk complexes of early modifications. The Turks do not have modern complexes.

              “The Turkish fleet at this stage is more powerful than the Russian,” said Sivkov. - There will be problems with Turkish submarines along our coast, and very serious if we have a conflict with Turkey. Syrian capabilities are not comparable - the Turkish fleet is more powerful. But everything will be decided on the continent. "
              The main fleet of Turkish aircraft is F-16, which are inferior to the Russian aircraft of the latest modifications, such as Su-35, Su-34, Su-30, but surpass Syrian ones. In terms of combat training, Turkish pilots are considered to be quite well trained pilots.
              “In military-strategic terms, both Turkey and Saudi Arabia are in a very favorable position,” Sivkov said. - Turkey has a direct border with Syria and has the ability to provide grouping actions directly from its territory. Syria, whose military industry was destroyed during the civil war, can rely only on supplies from Russia. However, the Turks - there is no doubt in this case - will take all measures to at least impede supplies, and possibly block the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. ” In this case, there will be problems with the supply of both our and Syrian troops, since only the air way through Iran remains.

              However, the closure of the straits will be viewed by Russia as an act of military aggression, and in this case Russia will be able, in accordance with international law, to enter the war with Turkey in full. "

What to do then? At the same time, NATO will support them with the words: "according to our control, the Russians attacked the naval base near Marmaris on C300 missiles." And that's all ...

The question is to the top, which can trick and delay production, etc. The Turks in the first salvo will have about 230-250 anti-ship missiles against our 80-90. Most likely, air defense will be covered from MLRS - there, with a system range of 80 km from the border with Turkey, only 48 km. Or 1,5-2 hours on BMP.

In Syria, aviation is outdated, there are no normal missiles.

          It will be a defeat, but the war will be difficult and lengthy, I mean the full-scale war. Look at the logistics, you won’t deploy tank wedges and divisions at once, and Nata will, at the very least, mess up.
          Remain, IMHO, two options for a quick and effective answer:
          strike TNW, which is unlikely
          - hit with Calibers. But there must be a lot of them to drive the Ottomans into the Stone Age, from where they just crawled out. I think at least 1500-2000 pieces. So there should be a lot of carriers, so that not "a teaspoon per hour" but a massive blow. And there are definitely few of them.

          first hour: Putin’s statement that Turkey attacked Russia and that those who want to stay alive should stand by
          second hour: attack on the Turkish air force and navy bases:
          third hour: capture of the straits:
          4 o'clock: a blow to the industry of Turkey ....
          by the end of the first day there will be no one to fight ... and the Turkish ground forces are such a BIG target for the VKS ....

      No, it’s Turkey that decided to return Constantinople to Russia by force lol
      "In 1453 the Ottoman Turks seize the capital of the Byzantine Empire - Constantinople. Almost all Greek historians who described the capture of Constantinople have the following legend. When Mohammed the conqueror entered the Church of Hagia Sophia, the clergy served the liturgy there, and the clergy sang the Cherubic song. an invisible hand closed the royal gates of the altar.Since then, as legend says, no one dares to enter this altar, and the liturgy will continue for centuries, until the very time in which Christians will again take Constantinople. Then the holy gates will open and the priestly archpastor will come out. and, having accepted the Holy Gifts, he will remember the Most Glorious Sovereign, and after that he will go to eternal rest together with the priestly elders. "
      .................
      “The Christian tribe will rise, and will fight against the Basurmans and destroy their sword, and their wives will drive them into captivity, and they will beat their children, and the son of Ishmael will go under captivity and not free oppression under the sword, and the Lord will give them their wickedness, as they do the Christians. And he will find evil seven times, kill him and the Lord will smite them with the hand of Christianity, and the Kingdom of Christianity will be exalted over all the kingdom. "

And are you ready for this? When the SU-24 failed, it turned out that they were ready for this! Here, no matter how it turned out that they did not think ABOUT THIS! What are we going to do when the MLRS goes through parts of the Syrian army, and possibly even through our airfield .. I would not like to ALWAYS respond to an act of aggression after the death of our people (08.08.08). Measures must be taken in advance, and it is possible to announce from the highest stands that Turkey will not be in this case, and NATO membership will not save it!

        A serious question - simply many believe in the omnipotence of calibers. Type one salvo and the Turks fled. As the classic says
        For the general, it was simple. The path to glory went according to the recipe: at six o’clock in the evening the soldiers will receive goulash with potatoes, at half-past eight the army will “empty” in the latrine, and at nine everybody goes to bed. Before such an army, the enemy flees in horror.

          Regarding calibers, I wonder how many are available? Is there a couple of hundred? I doubt it .. And one volley after which the Turks will flee, alas, but it can only be nuclear .. We didn’t have time to really rearm, didn’t debug the economy, did not create a safety margin, alas, the country had to be CLEANED very hard, but the horse wasn’t lying around in that direction .. So all development options in the current state of affairs in our country lead to defeat! We must face the truth!

        Kohl, it seems to me that you are deeply mistaken in the fact that we were lured there, at work I seem to have an adequate colleague at first glance, but I was hysterical, they say, don’t give us the Crimea, and don’t give us Syria, they say we contain these bad people. We have supposedly pensions, utilities, gardens and more.
        This is at least an apolitical argument, today you are out of politics, tomorrow politics will deal with you. Ukraine and most of the citizens who were in politics are now confirming this.
        Now about the fact that Turkey did not portend us, are you sure that did not portend? All North. Kav, Turkey set fire to us in the 90s, and it’s not a secret, and the special services know about the actions of the Turks, which are much more than our everyday ones, here I think Putin played along with Erdogan, for the time being, well, he did the same, everyone pulled to the last so to speak, to the red line, about which Putin stated in the media that they made concessions, despite some differences, and the anti-Russian actions of the Turks. (this is not verbatim).
        Now about 4 fighters, because sometimes you just have to do the manipulation of removing the pistol from the holster to stop the criminal. So in this case, this is a subtle hint of thick circumstances. Are you sure that all airbases will not be calibrated, and will be refined.

          Well, a pistol, against a fully equipped fighter with a machine gun and grenades. Is she scared? It is enough to compare the Turkish air force and navy with our group in Syria. And then, are you sure that all calibers will directly blow the Turkish airbases to smithereens? In addition to the 200 F-16, there is still not weak air defense.

            Non-resilient air defense are Patriot systems that are not specifically designed to destroy cruise missiles. Another thing is that modern warfare is completely different. Here it is necessary to solve two goals and as soon as possible.
            1. Make enemy groupings useless. To inflict maximum damage to the navy and enemy aircraft on the first day of the war. Is it possible? I think yes. Will it be so? Who knows. It is possible to strike at ports, ships and airfields both with calibers (which by the way xs how much is left in the region), and x-35. At the same time, you can check the capabilities of the instant 31, as a fighter-interceptor of gaining dominance in the sky.
            2. The overthrow of the current regime. This is a necessary action in the short term. If you leave everything as it is, only with an army that is not capable of working, it will turn out like in Ukraine. There will be a hostile state growing a new generation of residents in hatred of Russia - none of this good will come of it.

        Here are just the Turks, once again, they will not ask the Armenians.
        If the Turks begin kneading with Russia, Armenia will be under the hand in any way.
        The border with the Turks is guarded by the "Armenia" border department of the RF FSB. There are 102 bases on the territory of Gyumri. Will these units of the Russian Federation take part in a theoretical war with the Turks? If so, then the Turks should definitely attack these units.
        This can be an excellent test of the CSTO system.
        The big question is the position of Azerbaijan. On the one hand, the bir milek eki will do the trick, on the other hand, you will quarrel with Russia, you can cease to exist.
        Thus, although the war with Turkey is unnecessary for the Armenians, as in the First World War, the Armenians will do their job. They simply will have no choice when the Turks begin to fight with Russia on the territory of Armenia. The most offensive, if everything ends, as with Grandfather Lenin and Mustafa Kemal

It is not known how Russia will behave in the person of Putin. In my opinion, if it comes to war, then it should end on the same day it started (give or take a few days).

In my opinion, an invasion of Turkey is unlikely and serious consultations between the countries concerned are apparently underway.

      What?

      In short, the Turks will have a pre-emptive strike at Khmemim and the fleet in the SM - they will be lost without options (Khmemim is shot at by MLRS MLRS and their Turkish Tornadoes, also active-reactive 155mm shells from Korean howitzers, as well as OCR Idirim, the fleet if not manages to go to Egypt or deploy the neutral port together with the diesel-electric submarine and through the external guidance channel with the F-16 Harpoons at the maximum range - especially the Fist with the 1 air defense system on his nose Bending).

      However, the question is what then ... Iskander-M from the Crimea is finishing off to Ankara, K, X and Caliber shoot through Turkey in any projections - the truth can be brought down. Americans on the other hand released thousands of axes in the framework of democratization of different countries, with similar damaging effect and these missiles themselves did not bring victory.

          There are two options:

          2) Enter Syria with a cry - WE ARE FOR EVERYTHING GOOD, AGAINST EVERYONE BAD! With a clear message from the USA and NATO, that if they bomb the Coalition, they will intervene with the troops. But not the fact that it will work. And what if the Syrians bomb them?


          There is a third option:
          3) Two blows of the Kurds + USA + Turks to Mosul and the Arab coalition with the Turks to Raqqa. This will allow us to divide Syria and take away most of its oil from the Rakki and Mukdan fields, as well as Iraq, taking all the northern oil.

              I did not understand your deep thought. That is, if the Turks, knocking down our plane, explained that they considered it a Syrian plane, then everything is normal? If, by firing a gun at the Syrian headquarters, they killed our adviser - is that okay? So this is the problem of the Syrians? And I thought that our actions in Syria were precisely due to the fact that we took the problems of the Syrians to heart as our problems and began to help them in solving these problems. But it turns out that it’s necessary to pretend that these are not our problems .. So let’s help Turkey then? Hold Syria while the Turks rape it? And then there will definitely not be a third world war! Although, whom I am deceiving, both I and you perfectly understand that the matter is not in Syria, and not in Turkey, but the matter in Russia, and in the USA. Whether you like it or not, as long as there is Russia and the USA, the threat of a third world war will always be.

                    to infringe our economy began because of Ukraine and Syria. moreover, oil prices became the main blow - this is the Saudi lever and it was applied purely because of our injections into Assad. VKS participation is already our all-in game, when it became clear that the Assad was blown away, it only increased the pressure of the Saudis on the market.
                    Russia was more profitable to bargain with Turks and Arabs in 2014, for the honorable resignation of Assad, it was possible to bargain for investment and lending, etc.

            There is another option .. - the small-shavens began exercises in Jordan (the goal will sound outlandish: protecting Eastern Europe from Russia) Everything would be fine, but here is a fragment of a British officer's comment: "This exercise is not against IS. In any case, we are more likely to be preparing to join US in Ukraine than in Syria. " "This is not the kind of force that needs to be sent to Aleppo to fight a bunch of jihadists," said one army source. That is, all the fuss of the Turks can be a distracting, and not the main blow .. And the main thing will be Ukraine, Donbass and Crimea .. Again, it will turn out nicely, and Turkey with the straits and the fleet is in business, and the states are already in Ukraine ...

      Arabs in the person of the Saudis, the UAE (the best of all Arabs for equipment and the army) and Bahrain have already declared their participation in the invasion of Syria.

      If they soberly assess their strength and share their participation, then a really serious opponent will come out.

      Again, an elementary example:
      The Turks do not have attack helicopters (Cobra is not serious) - the KSA Apache Longbow has a car, if you drive the 2 wings to Turkey (24 cars), then there will be any unforeseen circumstances at home and at Husitov.

      It is quite difficult for the Turks with the SAM - the 2-3 batteries of the PAK-3 from KSA are easy to transfer, this is not NATO, and in the Saudi it will remain decent PAK-3 to protect the kingdom.

      The Turks may have strained with gaining dominance in the air - F-15 of fresh modifications + Typhoons from the Kingdom.

      The Turks will have problems with covering bases and troops from the Kyrgyz Republic and on marches - Shell-S1 from the UAE.

      That is, if they share Erdogan’s main plow principle, KSA helps the best aircraft and air defense systems, the UAE helps SPN and 1 BTG detachments at Leclerki and BMP-3. This will seriously strengthen Erdogan in the military and political sphere (since it’s not only the crazy sultan who got into an adventure, but the whole COALITION, which Sudan will most likely connect to, maybe they will buy Tunisia, Pakistan and Egypt are breaking down for now).

    well, the Turks will enter Syria, they will find an excuse. officially go in to fight terrorists - igil, rpk and - this will be the number - hezbollah. will enter not alone, but as part of a coalition (KSA, UAE, etc.). when they enter, they will say that, they say, they are not going to fight with Assad, the official Syrian opposition, the Russian VKS and the Iranian, and finally - it will be fun, but I would have done so - they will offer the above to join their coalition. and the Syrian opposition, "thinking", agrees. go, urinate the Kurds, repaint the igil in the ssa. and in the "liberated" territories they immediately put up tents and place refugees

    It is impossible to harness a horse and a quivering doe into one cart - it is absolutely impossible to imagine that the Saudis and Turks will fight seriously on ONE side. As much as they hate Assad, fighting is a completely different matter. This is a lot of blood - and a lot of consequences. And the fact that the logistics of our grouping in Syria will be disrupted is yes, although they will be supplied by sea from the Baltic, the "shoulder" will be large. And it seems to me that time is working for us now. The Syrian army is slowly but surely "wringing out" the Barmaley, and there is less and less time before they leave for the territory of neighboring Iraq. From there, let the Turks invade. And we'll take a look at this.

    The Turks are making grandiose plans - to restore the Ottoman Empire, which is deadly for Europe, which is why the West will not support the implementation of this crazy idea, which hurts a person’s head - a big war, therefore, is unlikely. Local skirmishes are resolved, especially Turkey will be forced to act as an aggressor. And further. Saakashvili tried to start a small victorious war - he received a solid blow to the infrastructure and almost lost Tbilisi. I think Erdogan is in the know.

      Erdogan and Davutoglu are very reasonable and prudent characters, successes in the economy during the period of crazy prices for imported hydrocarbons, prove that they are also merchants.
      they are not building any plans to conquer Europe. They identified promising regions of influence - these are the balkans, Transcaucasia, and Western Asia. Well, we still threw Ukraine to them, until they seriously took up it, because she was not in the plans.
      all these regions did not have, have lost or are losing any industrial potential, for Turkey they are becoming a market, this is what Turkey is striving for.
      Moreover, I think I will not be mistaken if I say that Europe is tired of both the balkans and the Middle East and their eternal mess, and giving them back to the Turks for Europe will not be so bad - a woman with a cart ...

      Russian special forces are taking part in ground operations and unfortunately there are losses among them.

      Special Forces Center near Tsentaroy. In Chechnya, it was here that the fighters who now operate in Syria in the rear of ISIS were trained. It's time to talk about those who ensure the success of Russian aviation on earth at the cost of their own lives. So far no names - everything is classified.
      “We, unfortunately, have losses. They are in order to live peacefully in the future on the territory of the Chechen Republic,” said the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov.

      Just Kemalist Turkey claimed the maximum status of a state of regional importance. Provided non-interference of foreign actors in her affairs. During the reign of the Kemalists, the attitude towards the Ottoman Empire was negative, it was compared with Nazi Germany and the Stalinist USSR. They emphasized that it was the Turkish people who suffered the most. Erdogan has gone very far from the ideas of the Kemalists. The modern heirs of Ataturk's ideas are in opposition to Erdogan.

        Sending the first Soviet ambassador S. Aralov to Ankara, Lenin said in particular: “Of course, Mustafa Kemal Pasha is not a socialist, but, apparently, a good organizer, a talented commander, is leading a bourgeois-national revolution, a progressively-minded person, a smart state figure. He understood the significance of our socialist revolution and is positive about Soviet Russia. ... It is necessary to help him, that is, to help the Turkish people. Here is your job. Respect the Turkish government, people, do not boast. Do not interfere in their affairs. England set the Greeks on them ... You have a serious job ahead. Comrade Frunze will leave the other day for Ankara from the Ukrainian Republic. Apparently, you will meet him in Turkey. - We can help financially Turkey, although we ourselves are poor. ... The Turkish people will feel that they are not alone ... ”(excerpt from an article by historian Vasily Chenkelidis) (http://www.pontos-news.gr/ru/article/143454/pontiyskie-greki-v-vospominaniyah -p
        ervogo-sovetskogo-posla-v-turcii).

        So, so that the Turkish people have already destroyed the Armenians in Asia Minor and Western Armenia, would not be alone in the destruction of the Greeks ...
        This was understood by the Greeks.
        M. Frunze, in his book “Memoirs from Turkey,” writes that when he saw a group of prisoners, exhausted Greeks, one of the prisoners shouted at the Soviet representatives that it was their fault (in the defeat of the Greeks - S.S.), because they intensified Kemal and the Turks (http://www.onalert.gr/stories/genoktonia-pontion-nekroi-imera-mnimis/25219). Frunze recalls the atrocities of the Turks: “in the city of Havza, the Turks burned, tormented, killed all Greeks and Armenians, everywhere there were traces of destruction. The road from the city of Kawak to the Hajilar passage will forever remain in my memory ... For 30 kilometers we only met corpses ”(ibid.).

        Frunze told the Soviet ambassador to Ankara Aralov about the atrocities of the Turks, about the "barbarously murdered Greeks - old people, children, women". Aralov talked with Kemal on this subject. Here is what Aralov says: “I told him (Kemal) about the terrible massacres of the Greeks that Frunze saw and later I myself. Bearing in mind Lenin’s advice not to offend Turkish national pride, I carefully chose the words. ” Kemal replied: “I know about these barbarities. I am against barbarism. I ordered the Greek prisoners to be treated well ... Our people must understand. He is furious. Who should be blamed for this. Those who want to create a "Pontic state" in Turkey ... "

        Must understand our people. He is furious


        From this phrase of Kemal it follows that whoever rules Turkey, a Turk will always remain a Turk. "Turkish pride" can be offended if you say that they brutally kill old people, women and children ?! As they say, you can't figure it out on purpose.

    In my opinion, if it comes to war, then it should end on the same day it began (plus or minus a few days). So that Turkey does not even have time to come to its senses, and NATO immediately stepped aside. Any dragging out of the war will play into the hands of the United States.

    Clarify the people: our aircraft are constantly bombing convoys of cars with oil, and it’s not easier to bomb the oil rigs. I will assume no more than a hundred of these towers throughout Syria. Bombing the drill and in manual mode the same KAMAZ will be pumped for a week. Or they have oil there as water in wells at a depth of 10m or less.

    2) The Black Sea Fleet is weaker than the Turkish fleet - yes it is - but in case of conflict the Turkish fleet in the World Cup will be destroyed immediately and will not be able to realize the advantage. Russia will transfer aviation from other directions + there are coastal complexes


    Support!
    Despite the quantitative superiority of the Turkish fleet, the Black Sea Fleet is qualitatively superior to it. Due to the presence of only 1 RK pr.1164 with 16 Vulcan anti-ship missiles, which are 5 times the long-range Harpoon anti-ship missile system (8 Turkish Meco-class frigates, 7 Perry-class frigates and 6 D'Estienne D'Orves frigates) ... There is no air defense of all these Turkish frigates, this is not Aegis on American cruisers and destroyers, where you can still debate.
    This is the case when one salvo of the cruiser "Moskva" / "Varyag" in one salvo is guaranteed to drown almost the entire Turkish fleet. The main thing is to competently organize the submarine defense for the flagship. Since Turkish submarines can be a headache for us in the eastern Mediterranean.

    Comrade, Lesnoy! I agree with you in many ways! But Tatarstan supports itself, not Turkey !!! Don't speak for us. And so I agree, even though some idiots and minus you. The most difficult thing is that they can simply throw a wave of 40-50 aircraft over all our air defense with HARMs, and ships with 50-60 harpoons - the distances there are very small ... What to do then? At the same time, NATO will support them with the words: "according to our control, the Russians attacked the naval base near Marmaris on C300 missiles." And that's all ...
    It is necessary to quietly taxi out, twist their hands and fabers, but not sharply climb into the fray ...

    I'm afraid he’s a half-wit and an alarmist. In the event of a war with Turkey, Russia will deliver an ultimatum to Georgia: either the free passage of the Russian army through the territory of Georgia, or the change of the government of Georgia, but by force. No one at that time will be almond.

    There is certainly something to answer. At least from the Turkish bases with a serious slaughter, a wet place will remain. No 200 f16 will help them because the air defense of the Black Sea and the whole of Turkey are shot through with the same caliber. But what will happen to our Syrian base is a big question. If Turkey has MLRS, IMHO everything can be very sad. Yes, and our ships are also actually on sight ...

    They will not, and for the United States, a war of Turks with Russia is an undesirable option, because the whole world will see how NATO will not defend its ally. Someone thinks that for the sake of the Turks, the United States is ready to start a war and endanger the destruction of developed infrastructure and its inhabitants cities, he is mistaken. As long as the United States does not have an effective missile defense, they will only spray shit out of their mouths and spoil Russia slowly with the wrong hands with the help of underdeveloped Ukrainians and the like. I strongly doubt that the NATO members from Europe represented by Germany, France, and so on then they threw their armies into Russia, firstly the main enemy there is not Russians, but a visiting rabble, secondly their armies are cowardly. They used to slaughter little Serbia all over Europe with the USA for a month, but the Serb army even after the traitors and Yeltsin persuaded Milosevic to surrender remained combat ready.
