The Russians flew an IL-20M over Homs yesterday:

Gathering intelligence for today's air strike.

There are several different "sides" in Syria.

Government + Iranians + Hezbollah
Islamic State
Kurds
Al Nusra
FSA and other rebels supported by the West.

The Turks have struck at least 3 of these.
West alliance supposedly only after IS.
Who are the Russians after?
