Afaik we have non-stinger manpads in our inventory.
Anyways, YPG is trying to attack near Azaz, infiltration attempt failed.
Meanwhile US is saying Raqqa operation to go ahead but everyone is screwing around near Azaz/Bab area? Deliberate statements to try and have IS militants make...
?
I'm talking about usual AKP shenanigans, saying XYZ but end result doing nothing and then going ''kandirildik'' (we were fooled). That's what I mean with will they have appetite for it. Much much easier to talk about some stupid bridge ;)
Thing is, say we capture Al bab with Turkish losses. Will they (politicians, not soldiers!) have appetite to go for Manbij? And lets say we capture Manbij as well, will we have luxury of clearing Tall Rifaat (+ Afrin?). I doubt it.
It's quite interesting that not one ally has publicly joined to...
Example of trench is Israel-Egypt war, Israel built line, Egypt use pressure washers to claw in through. Btw this also goes for our border wall system, it won't work as good as we hope.
We're showcasing the classic AKP behavior of doubting whether to fully commit or not and hoping to half-***...
I don't think it's very smart to keep screaming that out loud considering we're on a crash course with our allies due to regional events. All it takes is one part (no matter how small/unimportant) to get delayed and we're screwed.
You hear US screaming about kills? China? Iran?
Say it under the...
They're from Mersin (Relatively rich province), they look somewhat nicely dressed/groomed etc. Not sure if educated is the right word but there definitely is a RADICALIZATION process ongoing in Turkey in the past years, emboldened by peace process and war in Syria. The biggest example of this...
Told you guys Tall Rifaat wouldn't be easy, question is when/how/if our guys are gonna push for more active role. Just passive shelling not enough.
Btw YPG released pictures of ~20 killed during yesterdays clashes but I didn't see pictures of the 10 they claimed were killed during airstrikes.
Another 2 killed after being spotted by UAV as well as VBIED taken out by attack helicopters (also spotted by UAV).
Also last week near Erzincan 2 killed coming from Black sea region (From the picture that was leaked?). Meaning only people taking picture alive (unless they used timer). Also...
Because certain idiots claim a brush of wind as chemical attacks by Turkey. Yesterday it was artillery first, airstrikes only later. Today probably the same.
Yes, keep in mind they always claim airstrikes etc. Right now only shelling is confirmed. Plus giving CAS to rebels will be more difficult. Imo simply hitting them in the rear and cutting off supply lines etc is also good.
As for Aleppo, yes the siege will not be broken by taking Tall Rifaat...
To take Tall Rifaat we will need more than just artillery, precision airstrikes are good yes but we also need them directly, especially in the villages. Most of our airstrikes are again hard targets (buildings, hqs etc) standing alone and selected before.
Taking Tall Rifaat is needed but what...
