Rumours that Lavrov's grandson killed by Turkish attacks in Syria

LATEST UPDATE 4:10 PM EST -- Yesterday, Turkish President Recypt Erdogan said Turkey will not allow Idlib, Syria to come back under control of the Syrian Government, and his Turkish Army would commence attacks to make certain of this. This morning, RUSSIA warned Turkey that such an effort would result in the Russians DEFENDING Syria.

Eight minutes ago, at 2:52 PM eastern US time, Turkish artillery began shelling Syrian forces in and around Idlib, including Syrian forces which have RUSSIAN TROOPS embedded.

The Turks entered Syria UNINVEITED and WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION almost a year ago. This new adventure by Turkey will get their forces stomped into the ground by Russian forces, and will likely mean actual HOT WAR between Turkey and Russia.

It has begun. Multiple sources confirming heavy exchanges of artillery and gunfire.

UPDATE 3:21 PM EST --

BREAKING: The Syrian Army just RESPONDED to the Turkish attack and bombed the Turkish observation post, located in Ishtabraq, western countryside of Idlib.

The ongoing debacle taking place inside Syria escalated by unimaginable proportions this week as Russian Air Force Jets attacked and destroyed Turkish Army tanks, artillery and armored vehicles inside Syria!

Turkish Tanks BOMBED in Syria by . . . RUSSIA!

Russian bombers destroyed Turkish tanks, 18 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) installations, and about 50 armored personnel carriers inside Syria today.

According to Covert Intel Sources in Moscow, Turkish President Recypt Erdogan is violating agreements with Moscow by allowing heavy armor and weapons systems to enter Syria and then go into possession of Turkish-Backed rebels.

Since the beginning of last week, Turkish troops and pro-Turkish terrorists have lost almost a hundred units of armored vehicles illegally transported to Syria, and it’s not Syria, but Russian military aviation that is crushing them!

According to local and foreign sources, today alone Turkey lost at least 23 tanks in Syria (including 4 Leopard tanks), about 50 armored personnel carriers and armored vehicles, 18 MLRS installations, more than 20 military trucks and 2 local warehouses with weapons and ammunition.

Attacks by Russian military aircraft were carried out mainly on the largest accumulations of equipment, and often, armored vehicles were destroyed immediately when crossing the Turkish-Syrian border.

Russia is actively maintaining contacts with the Turkish side, and as soon as Ankara declares that "it knows nothing about the illegal crossing" of the Syrian border, attacks are carried out on columns and convoys by Russian attack aircraft.

This is a mess of huge magnitude. Turkey is a NATO ally, but Turkey cannot invoke the NATO treaty because the conflict taking place with Russia is inside Syria, not inside Turkey itself. Put simply, when Turkey entered Syria without permission, they brought whatever happens upon themselves.

Whether this escalates into something Biblical remains to be seen, but this development is stunning in its implication for the region, and for the world.
