I don't believe the Turkish army is that stupid.

In a war, my money is on the Turks. This move is bravado and brash, and, the knowledge of their fighting capacity and the knowledge that the Arabs would prefer to run.

The battle would be Turkish tanks vs Russian Air.

Turkey does not have the air power to defend those tanks from the Russian Air Force.
