Russian troops already have experience fighting in South Ossetia. Russian troops have greater discipline and capability plus they have home field advantage. The scenario you have painted seems like a good way for Turkey to lower its male population of fighting age. I can't see how they could inflict casualties at a rate of better than 10 to 1. That is a conservative estimate in my opinion, I think a rout is more likley with panic and disarray. The Russians won't know where to put all the defectors/prisoners. Alot of Turkish/Georgian equipment would be destroyed or confiscated by VDV units early on, artillery exchanges is a bad idea for the Turks, this is where Russia excels. I have no idea what tactics the Turks could employ here that could gain them anything. Once the Russian's put together a counter offensive, the only damage inflicted would be early surprise strikes.

One ISIS ATGM team, firing from the same position, takes out three T-155 howitzers with a Kornet.
It's not even kornet but Metis-M...are we sure these guys are Isis and not "ISIS" (r)?
I'll repeat it, Syria is such a clusterfuck that everything is possible at this rate.

According to news, at least 2 of the 3 Firtina targeted were blown up to bits.

Would an air war between Turkey and Russia go anything like shown in video below? Shows turkish air force decimated, but also quite many russian assets destroyed as well...

This guy expects Russia to lose 2 jets for every jet of Turkey, this is laughable IMO. I expect the rate to be 1 to 3 in favor of Russia AT LEAST.
Now if Russia goes for prolonged bombing of Turkish infrastructure deep in Turkish territory then yes, the loses will be substantial but I can be very much mistaken given how rapidly RuAF improves every year.

Interesting thread. 
I think our disadvantages are Air Defense Systems and Ballistic Missiles. Turkish Armed Forces is still using MIM-23 Hawk XXI. We deployed some Hawk systems near to Turkey-Syria border but this system doesnt have anti-ballistic missile(ABM) capable. Also Turkey doesnt have ballistic missile. We just have J-600T Yıldırım TBM's and this missiles developed on Chinese B-611 TBM.

Yes you guys are lacking in the air defense department, however your air force is modern and capable.
