So things are getting air-to-air interesting now.
Turkish drones revolutionize Idlib conflict – analysis
Turkey has systematically taken over other areas in northern Syria, primarily Kurdish areas, where it has used Syrian rebels to fight the Kurdish YPG.www.jpost.com

Apparently dozens to hundreds of soldiers and vehicles of the SAA have been neutralized.
The fascinating question is whether or not any cease-fire in Syria can last longer than two days...
Don't forgot that after Trump pulled the troops out, the deep state put them back in, ostensibly to protect the oil wells in Eastern Syria from being retaken by the government and their presence is increasingly grating on all sides. So in coming months American troops there can expect more and more IEDs, suicide drones, ATGMs and mortar attacks by various ''rogue actors''.
Considering Turkey wanted to purchase PAC-3 in the first place and were denied by the USA, they won't do the trade out of sheer spite.
Erdogan strikes me as having tried to pull off more than he could chew. He's no Osman or Suleiman come again. And I imagine Putin likely finds any pretensions that he has, most amusing.
Russia is part of the West?

To be fair most western countries are currently dominatated by said pussies, so they have a point.
That however only lasts until they run out of other peoples money and shit hits the fan, then you get a casade failure and things change very rapidly.
