May be they came to market S400s and Su-57s, I guess they were doing preliminary market research for the proposal. Or maybe they are actually Americans disguised as Russians and trying to damage relations with our Russian Friends.

They are tourists, don't know about any espionage and also didn't know that in the places they rented there were weapons. Oh, and they travel a lot... is that a sin?!??!

The Russian GRU and FSB have a history working in Turkey in pursuit of opposition figures or ex-fighters/commanders of para-military structures that fought against Russia. They also use Istanbul as a transit point for their travels.
