Probably a request by said country themselves.

Not to mention our fire support consist of limited artillery and no full CAS by jets or attack helicopters. Very different environment compared to s.east Turkey and our experiences from there. As for US SOF, their JTAC guys are very much needed to prevent friendly fire (though with US, I'm not...

Don't forget current political crisis with Austria being haters and all, will probably screw the project up as well.

My armchair opinion; FSA is too weak/incompetent/limited manpower. Mark my words, when/if we move on to Al Bab (+ potential other targets) TSK will lead the way. ISIS is retreating and choosing to attack by ATGM/SVBIED/Terror cells. One proper counter-attack and their pingpong game between...

Navy admiral, Navy brass said they were against coup and didn't participate. Don't know why he's being arrested. I fear AKP will use this to try and cleanse the military from the hardcore secularists (Which we still need imo).

Reports that the chief of general staff has been rescued from an airbase and taken to a secure position. Maybe the rumours last night about him being whisked away were true, first by pro-coup guys, later rescued by SF? https://twitter.com/sercan_zorbozan I've been following him a bit recently...

I've been trying to find footage of the Sikorsky type heli that was reportedly downed by military jets, everyone talks about it but zero footage/pics of aftermath. If they've been able to take out this heli how come they didn't attack the jets buzzing around or the attack helicopter that...

No, my friend it is true. Fucking cunts attacked the privates on ground and immediately started labeling them as pro-gulenist/junta even though they're all around ~20 years old and have no idea what's going on. The same AKP guys howl of nationalism when terror hits us but they go and do this!!!

There were some reports he was back at duty after possible SF intervention. But nothing heard since that and another general has been appointed as chief of the general staff. Which could mean he's supporting this half-assed attempt at a coup, which I doubt. So unfortunately I think he's been...

MFW AKP themselves aren't really that democratic (only when it suits them)

Wouldn't optics be limited in terms of import from US/EU? I've seen atleast one or two knock-off acog scopes. Nah, it's not Ukraine style. Ukraine = ''seferberlik'' almost. In fact the most recent vest seen with JOH guys for example looks pretty good. When urban operations first started you...

Cause when other nations have to fight in similar instances they simply flatten the area. Russia/US/Israel all have their own tactics but in the end it comes down to brute force. We don't do that (enough).

Afaik most of the stuff is a mixture of military issued stuff and/or personal equipment/equipment bought on unit/base/battalion level. And this second might be like @Jackal131 said, done internally or externally. Example; commander decides to buy X of something for entire battalion. Example 2...

How I imagine loitering munition/suicide uav; - man portable ''mortar'' launched, for SF/SOF/Commando's. - Crew-served bigger version for teams (Commando/infantry) and at border outposts - Mobile vehicle version launched from weapon carrier/tank platform - New weapon carrier platform with room...

Manpads = already existing threat. No stingers were officially given out, mainly Chinese/Yugo stuff. Katyusha = based on recent developments, either taken over via-via or focusing on DIY IRAM stuff like seen in general M-E. Couple weeks ago a statement by military said that they'd destroyed...

How did Roketsan finish development of Teber kits in ~1 year? Would expect them to take multiple years with delays as usual...

Geography, location, history of anti-establishment, ''strategic'' western point of stronghold. Every once in a while they rear their heads out and do some minor actions for PR and perhaps a few bigger ied attacks, then military tracks and kills them, they're calm for a while and then rinse and...

What good will a wall be when a VBIED gets sent in? We need to dig big *** trenches/ditches 50/100 meter in front of the wall and put ATGM teams as well as SARP and stmap/stop systems. Or instead of ATGM team put a m113/acv with tow launcher (only launcher visible, rest hidden/barricaded in).

Media reported it as firefight broke out (pretty standard), later article said it was boobytrap/ambush with rockets during eod detonation. Might be position they took waa targeted.

Sinir/hudut karakollari ve mevzileri yeniden yapilandirmali, Irak bolgesindekilerden daha iyi olmalari lazim. Adam bugun ATGM ile atis yapar, yarin anti-materyal tufegi ile askerini vurur, obur gun ise bombali arac yollar. Sende izleyip durursun, makineli tufek yetmez, ATGM sistemi ile...
