    The  air  strike near al Bab  reportedly killed 3 Turkish soldiers and injured 10.  Turkey says revenge is coming.

    The only question in my mind is whether it was a Russian Air Strike or a Syrian Air Force air strike or both.  The last time this happened a helicopter (presumably SAAF) dropped a barrel bomb on FSA fighters while Russian interceptors flew overhead.
    The US is fence sitting the al Bab front.

    For the moment social media comments are too mixed for me to confirm the full pattern of events.  The only  point of truth is that the powder keg is about to blow.  The only limiting factor is the poor performance of the Turkish Grey Wolf militias on the ground in the face of the SDF.  Lack of Turkish militia capacity may be a  reason behind the deployment of Turkish regular soldiers to the front.

    On conspiracy theory is that the war between ISIS and the Turkish Grey Wolf battalions will have something of a fake conflict at al Bab ....... and will allow ISIS fighters to travel to Raqqa.  ISIS families will get passage to Turkey.

    I note Langers comments.  Any other thoughts based on fact from the pro-Russia posters here?

    cheers
