Ironically the only Russian plane shot down in Syria was an "accident" by a Turkish fighter.

MOSCOW/ANKARA, Aug 27 (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday that Turkey wants to continue defence industry cooperation with Russia, including on warplanes, following talks in Moscow with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.
Erdogan spoke after the leaders visited an air show outside the Russian capital where Sukhoi Su-57 stealth fighter jets performed demonstration flights and the Turkish leader inspected aircraft.
In another step that could further strain ties with NATO ally the United States, Turkey took delivery on Tuesday of a second batch of Russian S-400 air defence equipment.
"We are taking positive steps in the defence industry sector with the delivery of the S-400 systems starting," Erdogan said at a news conference alongside Putin.
"With that, in our meetings today we had the opportunity to discuss what steps we could take in various fields within the defence industry and what we could do," he added.

Waiting for comments.
Don’t know what’s allowed and what’s not in relation to NATO allies and military purchases or any kind of alliance/partnership with Russia.
Good then get the hell out of NATO ya worthless mooselimb.
Kick it out of NATO and let Trump have at them and bankrupt them
Let them have Putin—But no more US aid and pull out our bases in that sick nation.
A lot of countries close to US or NATO members rely on Russian equipment. South Korea, Poland, Finland, Cyprus and the list goes on. I have no idea why it is not tolerated in case of Turkey. Probably because it is the number two in NATO after US based on military power.

That sounds about right. House of Togarmah should be aligned with Magog, eventually.
When it all comes down.

Turkey needs to be kicked out of NATO.
Trying to bribe Russia to let Turkey keep captured territory in Syria?
I have no idea who has it worse in Syria now Turkish military or ISIS terrorists. They had a Turkish resupply convoy in North Syria lately and some unidentified aircraft near missed near every vehicle.
We probably have enough HUMINT on the ground in Turkey that anything Russia provides, we will find out about it.
Hopefully Russia joins Nato so this does not get confusing
How many are actually watching this?
The writing is on the wall for this War IMHO.
It is?
It could defeat germany or france or england an a one on one war?
leaving out nukes.
“some unidentified aircraft near missed near (Turkish) every vehicle.”
So it is Turkey being forced to pay rent, to hold captured territory in Syria?
Very few indeed.
I mentioned it briefly many years ago and my liberal boss almost slammed the door in anger.
You learn a lot about these types of people. Things you didn’t expect and didn’t want to learn.
That will come. Give it time.
A military alliance between Turkey, Russia and Iran.
Keep an eye on Libya. They are prophesied to join as well.
Arguably France. But Germany and UK no contest. I think both combined are militarily inferior to Turkey.
Geez. I had no idea.
