That is highly doubtful, the Russians do not want to lose their only carrier to the IAF. It is a jump carrier and does not have advanced aircraft that can beat the 300 F-16’s and the 80 F-15’s that Israel has. Plus Israel is a Nuclear Nation State with a submarine 2nd strike option.

Russia is more likely to grab parts of Europe, but they are going to take and hold Syria. They do not want the Turks or the US to grab it and put Assad on trial.
