Turkish forces have launched a counterstrike against Syrian regime targets in Idlib, according to the office of President Erdogan.
NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg has announced that the defense council will meet on Friday after Turkey trigger Article 4.

Article 4 means any ally can "request consultations whenever, in the opinion of any of them, their territorial integrity, political independence or security is threatened."
Russia is sending two war ships equipped with cruise missiles to the Mediterranean Sea towards the Syrian coast, according to the Russian Interfax news agency.

Australia is preparing 2 motor boats and a bag of grenades.

" the Turkish military’s drone can be seen striking the Syrian Army’s Pantsir S-1 air defense system which was supplied to Syria by the Russian Armed Forces."

A wobbly little drone 170 kmh against a Mach 4 -6 missile system. That is not very nice.

Now the Turks have droned Syria's tanks and Russia is backing off. The drones are $6m. compared to US drones at $16m and send guided bombs from 10km. Putin is probably making life a misery for someone at the Kremlin who does Russia's drones.
