If this is not signal for launching military operation on hughe scale with full participation of Turkish army i can not tell what it is. Yes, it is risky and probably will cause end of relations with usa and isolation from west but question is what is worse those sanctions or permament terrorist state on hundreds of kilometers on border?

The greatest illusion the west plays on Turkey is that she is "isolated" Turkey cannot be isolated due to her geography. Everyone around Turkey knows how important it is and hence its why everyone involves themselves in the region.

In an ideal world isolation would be ideal, that means the region would be peaceful for Turkey. But the entire world is in the region and wants to remain there.

According to some sources;
A Russian Su-24 attack aircraft and Turkish TB2 UCAV were operating overhead in Idlib at the same time.

the drone in the second pic is unarmed and the su-24 in the first pic might be on recon routine strike mission

I do not think that Tb2 is unarmed. Unarmed Tb2 looks like first photo.. Most possible Mam-C

Russian Air Force MiG-29s re-appear in Syria

Early January 2021, possibly on the 7th or 8th, Russian military hardware arrived in Syria. It is reported that up to six MiG-29s, accompanied with two Il-76s, were flown to the Russian air base Khmeimim, while other army weapons have arrived in Tartus port as the Lebanese news agency Al-Masdar News and the Russian online media Aviapro report.

As in June 2020, a flight of up to twelve MiG-29s and four Su-24s were flown from Russia via Iran to Khmeimim. All external markings of these aircraft were removed. After arrival in Syria, most, if not all fighters continued their route to Libya. These aircraft started to support the Wagner Group, a Russian private military company, in the Libyan civil war.

This time, the MiG-29s, most probably SMT versions equipped with the distinctive 'humpback', were carrying normal Russian markings. Scramble Magazine assesses that there are multiple options for this new arrival.

First, it is possible that the MiG-29s are deployed to Syria in support of the Special Purpose Aviation Brigade (SPAB) at Khmeimim. The SPAB rotates on a regular basis its aviation assets (Su-24s, Su-25s, Su-30s, Su-34s, Su-35s, Mi-35s, Mi-8/-171s). The MiG-29SMTs were earlier noted in Syria in December 2017. So, it is well possible that the regular fighter units are worn down in all rotations, and that the MiG-29 unit was commanded to relieve some of the Sukhoi's.
Secondly, as the MiG-29s are not the most modern aircraft in the Russian Air Force, it is very well possible that the MiG-29SMTs will be transferred to the Syrian Arab Air Force.
Third, like the former batch of MiG-29s and Su-24s, the aircraft will find their way to Libya
Fourth, the MiG-29s will continue their route to the Central African Republic. Just recently, Russia deployed four Mi-8MTVs to this African country to support the local government.
Fifth, the MiG-29s are on a delivery flight to an African country (like Sudan).

The Russian news agency Aviapro wrote that their sources confirmed that the six MiGs are destined for the SyAAF and they claim that Syria has received multiple surplus Russian MiG-29s, two Su-24s as well as some assault and attack helicopters in recent months.

The Russian Federation - Aerospace Forces (RF VKS) operates the MiG-29SMT from Astrakhan/Ashchuluk (116th Fighter Aviation Combat Employment Centre), Kursk/Vostochnyy (105th Guards Composite Aviation Division), Lipetsk (4th Centre for Combat Application and Crew Training) and Akhtubinsk(929th V.P. Chkalova State Flight Test Centre). As Kursk is the only operational unit with the SMT, it sounds logical the aircraft are originating from that location.

We continue to inform our Syrian brothers and sisters living in the Peace Spring region against the mines and IEDs placed by the terrorist organization PKK / YPG. Our commandos gave detailed information to 175 adults in 8 residential areas and 692 students in 6 schools.

Saving the lives of children so many ieds and mines have claimed the lives of children.

Respect to our heroes. They are doing a good deed.

And we send Soldiers without aircover to stop SAA and Russian advance and gave martyrs, for that?
Happened not the first or second time by the way...

Ultimately you have AK Party/Feto for the Syrian mess. It started out as a disaster and continues to be a massive headache for Turkey when you have a political party that doesn't have the resolve to do what needs to be done.

The idlib retaliation could have settled many problems for Turkey, but a day or two into it erdogan was desperate for a meeting with Putin.

As always with Turks, politicians bring us shame, only our military brings us victories.

Exactly!
They are even documents about this kind of tactic, how to push countries in the corner and bring them down.
