Türkiye says it is ready to shoot down Israeli Air Force planes in Syria

[Regnum] The Turkish Armed Forces will begin shooting down Israeli Air Force planes if they help the Syrian Kurds with missile strikes. This is reported by the Yeni Şafak publication.
 | An interesting thought. Shooting at is easy. Hitting the designated target takes different skills, and IAF F-16s and F-35s streaking overhead are nothing like fleeing Syrian Arab Army or charging SDF technical Toyotas. |
“If Israel decides to take such actions, our air defense systems and fighters are ready to destroy them,” the publication says.
| S-300s and S-400s? Perhaps Turkish soldiers wield those better than Syrian soldiers do, so in theory that could work against Israeli warplanes. But if the Turkish army spokesman is talking about aerial dogfights, that’s an entirely different question. |
According to the publication's sources, the Kurds asked the IDF to help them confront the pro-Turkish forces, after which Turkey made it clear to Israel that it "will not tolerate such interference."
| Has Israel ever got involved militarily with the Kurds? I don’t recall such a thing, though that might just be my porous memory. |
The publication claims that orders to destroy the planes had already been given to the General Staff of the Turkish army.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on December 13, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, at a meeting with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who arrived in Ankara, said that Turkey supports the preservation of Syria's territorial integrity.
| …except those strips of Syria that Turkey has already taken over, displacing the native Kurds in order to disable them and also provide housing for Turkey’s refugee and Turkic dependents. |
Erdogan added that Turkey will defend its national interests if there is a threat from the Syrian opposition. In addition, he promised to take measures against all terrorist organizations.
| …except for the terrorist orgs on the payroll of Turkey’s so-called Syrian National Army, anyway. |
Deputy Head of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev noted on December 12 that he doubts the possibility of preserving the unity of Syria after the departure of the administration of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. He also recalled that Russia had seriously helped the republic's authorities for a long time, as it understood the negative consequences of its collapse. The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council named mistakes in governing the country as the reason for the fall of the government.
Russia has been helping the Syrian government fight terrorist organizations for many years. Moscow has pledged to help as long as the Syrian army continues to fight. Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed out back in 2015 that Russians would not be “greater Syrians than the Syrians themselves” in resolving the internal issues of this republic.
