“Turkey wants them back.”
Big developments today. Turkey was convoying tanks across the border toward al Bab (North East Suburb of Aleppo), when they can under air attack, killing Turkish soldiers. That is a first, and risks an open war with Turkey.
Turkey may have been/is planning to push through to relieve the rebels in Aleppo, or just to grab al Bab before things settle out. Whatever their purpose, it looks like the Syrian regime and/or its allies have put down their foot, and raised the stakes.
“Big developments today.”
You’re right, that’s huge. Have a link so I can read about that?
I believe Turkey will simply back off. They are not crazy enough to extend air cover to their armor...against the Russian Air Force and Russian S-400s on the ground. And they most certainly have not crossed into full insanity which would allow them to send a full armored division or two.
