Putin gonna have Erdogan upfront pivot over to Russia's side.
This shyt is too easy for Putin and he doesn't even give a fukk. Erdogan is going to be the Russians and Iranians bytch boy and to top it off he made NATO weary of supporting him with his autocratic behavior
Putin with the geopolitical finesse game on Jordan level

Attack on Russian Ambassador probably more likely to bolster Moscow and Ankara's burgeoning alliance. They've bolstered ties with trade, the Turkish stream gas project, nuclear power plants... Syria is their only real divergence but they've compartmentalized that.

I don't see it being any national actors
It's too sloppy and literally accomplishes nothing. I don't think the Saudis/Qataris would risk something like that being traced back to them. In fact their security services have never even been known to carry out work abroad. Infiltrating islamic groups is as far their capabilities go lol.
Most likely frustrated rebel sympathisers. Turkey hosts a lot of Syrian refugees.

The guy shouted " Don't forget Aleppo". Anyone can do that.
If you want to kill a russian today, you just blame it on Aleppo.

It can be anyone. This is a high level game. And national actor don't ac directly, they'll use proxies or useful idiots. You just fuel some rebels sympathizers with intel and money, they will do it.
Also, don't forget the Saudis were financing jihadist in Russia during the Daguestan war.

This event is going to weaken Erdogan even more, when he is already weak at the national level. A weaker Erdogan can be taken out easily and replaced by more anti-russians authorities. And Lord knows the anti-russian feeling is prevalent in Turkey.
Putin already have a weak Erdogan; a weaker Erdogan is not in Putin's interest.
Also, this assassination may put Putin in a weird situation back home : he already let the l-killing of the pilot go, now this. It will be hard for him to justify the reinforcement of his ties with Turkey when Turkey is humiliating Russia by killing its soldiers and officials.
