Russia sends 7,000 troops to Turkish border in Armenia.

This morning, President Putin has ordered selected members of the 58th Army Corps to the Turkish border with Armenia. The troops include regiments and brigades in electronic warfare, anti aircraft and multiple rocket launchers, anti tank, motorized rifle and artillery forces.

This was done under the joint Russia-Armenia air defense system agreement. The system mirrors the air defense system the Russians put into Syria. As a consequence, both the Turkish and American  air forces have stopped flying missions in Syria.

These moves come after Turkish President Erdogan called on Muslims to invade Jerusalem and establish a World Islamic Empire.

Spearheading the Russian forces is the Krakusha-4 jamming platform that can damage AWACS and low-flying satellites.

In the meantime, Arab governments are making moves to put special forces into Syria.
