Russia began to fiercely bomb militants
Russian military aviation strikes at militant positions in the provinces of Idlib and Aleppo. According to a number of assumptions, this is due to the fact that Recep Erdogan and Vladimir Putin have not been able to agree on stabilizing the situation in the provinces of Idlib and Aleppo.
Serious danger at the moment is created by attacks by militants and the Turkish army on Russian military aircraft, in particular, at least three cases of shelling of Russian military aircraft from MANPADS are reported.
Official Ankara does not comment on videos showing Turkish soldiers firing rockets on Russian military aircraft.

“The Turkish military did not allow four Russian military aircraft, including two bombers, to enter their airspace from Syria. According to the data, Russian military aircraft tried to enter Turkish airspace before they were forced to deploy due to threats from the Turkish armed forces. The Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet commented on these allegations, however, if this is true, then this will be an important event, as tensions between Moscow and Ankara over Idlib province continue to grow. ”- the Arab news agency Al Masdar News reports, citing data from Russian media.
Given the current situation, experts believe that the situation in Syria is getting very serious.
