Big cruise missile salvo, and other strategic strikes against Turkish assets and installations. F-16's wont do shit when the airfields are burning and their runways are full of craters. Turkish AD is completely inadequate and wont be able to do anything to stop this.
Turkey's only real strength is infantry. Russia's second move will be deploying the VDV in E-NE Turkey, it's mountainous, and they would be used to capture and hold key heights. Turkey would be forced to react by sending their land forces single file up windy mountain roads, where the VDV will cut them to ribbons. Kornets and other ATGM's will be horrendously devastating against Turkey's outdated armor. They will be able to cover vast kill zones in this terrain, and on top of that, the VDV will mine everything. So the Turkish army will end up slowing to a crawl.
The VDV forces will link up with the Kurdish resistance, find supply channels, and arm them to the teeth. The entire Kurdish region will go ape shit and will further bog down the Turks.
After a day or so, russia's main forces will likely begin to appear along the Armenian and Iranian borders. They will push westward, but will only go as far as the Kurdish territory. The strategic goal of russia will be to neuter the Turkish armed forces, partition the country, and end the war as quickly as possible.
