After the appearance of Russian helicopters over northern Syria, Turkey deployed air defense systems.

Against the backdrop of Turkey's military operation in Syria, there is a big risk of confrontation between Moscow and Ankara. Against the backdrop of how Russian military aviation began to show high activity in areas that Turkey designated as priorities for its offensive, Ankara deployed its air defense systems in the regions bordering Syria.

According to Syrian sources, we are talking about the latest Turkish air defense systems SUNGUR. The latter carry four anti-aircraft guided missiles, with a range of hitting targets up to 8 kilometers. This, however, in some areas is quite a big threat.

To date, Turkey has not yet launched an offensive in northern Syria, however, this is primarily due to ongoing negotiations with Russia. However, experts note that the deployment of air defense systems on the border with Syria is direct evidence that Ankara is preparing for a confrontation with both Syria and Russia.

It should be noted that earlier the head of the Turkish Ministry of Defense, Hulusi Akar, said that the Turkish military operation would still take place, although its timing could be shifted.
