Why are they not even using optics and stuff? Is this a commercial or really from Syria? What is the reason for having fancy rails on rifles, without using optics?
There will be no large direct confrontation between Assad and Turkey. Assad is most interested in the oil in the south. The Arab majority population of the YPG-held areas will always prefer Assad over YPG.
It seems that Turkey uses the same strategy as in Afrin, don't go immediately for land grab but wear them out by continuously letting reinforcements in and then bomb them.
I am wondering, most of the media we see is from special forces or Commando brigades. How does the equipment of the infantry of mechanized infantry compare to them? Same level?
