Can Kasaboglu, director of the security and defense research program at the Istanbul-based think-tank Edam, echoed these concerns and said in a report that "presumably Turkey will dispatch an elite joint contingent to Libya soon."

Kasaboglu said that Turkey has limited options in the Libyan airspace except for deploying tactical armed drones as "Turkey does not have adequate naval aviation capacity to intervene in the Libyan conflict."

The escalation in Idlib also puts Turkey in a vulnerable position within NATO and Turkey's alliance with other members is frail over its military, political and economic rapprochement with Moscow.

Despite the escalation in Tripoli and Idlib, and the exchange of accusations between Ankara and Moscow, the pair are still expected to cooperate in Libya as they did in Syria.
