Technical tests of the Third World War: in an interview with Sputnik News (a rather pro-government Russian site), the head of the Turkish intelligence department Hakki Pekin has stigmatized the recent downing of the Russian Sukhoi24 bomber by the Turkish air force, calling it a "big mistake".
Pekin foresees big problems from now on, and a very hard and well organized response.
"Beyond the cancellation of official visits and the probable economic sanctions, Russia is fixing its Iskander missile systems in Kaliningrad. And it has tremendous potential in this field."
Putin is allegedly in possession of information on the sale of oil by ISIS through Turkish territory, and these are the reasons for recent patrol activities 'close' to the borders of Erdogan's country. For this reason, the Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu tweeted the decision to use the S-400 missile system, definitely one of the most fearsome in the world, in the air base near Latakia, close to the Syrian coast.
To give an idea, this is the most advanced missile system in the possession of the Russians, a system capable of hitting targets up to 250km inside the Turkish borders, located just 50km from the border.
The downing of the Russian aircraft is considered by Foreign Minister Lavrov to be a "premeditated provocation".
Everything suggests that the tension will not rise rapidly, but that it will rise massively and constantly.
