Udun, if the rebels come to possess anti-air defense system, how are the Western coalition, Russia, Syria, Iran and Iraq gonna fight?
I was showing how Erdogan and Qatar's support to Sunni rebels in Syria lacks sincerity. Erdogan, in particular, is the worst, as his treachery on Aleppo and Al-Bab was very disastrous for millions of Sunni Muslim civilians there.
What makes Assad and his Shia/Nusayri militia gaining ground is their absolute control of the air. And what can offset that air superiority is effective air-defense system. Neither Turkey, Qatar, or Saudi are courageous enough to provide it.
