The Syrians pose little threat to the Turks and truth is that no one believed this time last week that Russians would directly attack the Turks. So the game has changed now and the saying 'One bit twice shy comes to mind'
And regarding the soldiers that lost their lives to shelling last week...
This is really a new low by the Russians. They seem hell bent on causing a humanitarian disaster perhaps because they feel that eventually Europe will suffer by it. And they will kill anything that stands in their way. Apparently there are no refugees and Turks are just protecting terrorists...
Manpads work upto 6km apparently. The Su24 is restricted to 11km. Hisar A which has completed field tests last year should have a range of 10km. It is due for delivery next year but there must be some prototypes available? Hisar O which has a 15km is due to enter inventory in 2022. So likewise...
If the turks can't counter the russians in idlib, there is no way they can in northern syria. once they can move on assad here and protect the troops from russian strikes, it will pave the way for the rest of northern syria. So at the moment the operation has been very limited to test the water...

This thread has once more turned to shit. Indians, French and the usual Anti-Erdogan bunch doing nothing more than bashing the leader who was elected by over 50% of the Turkish population. What this that saying about Turks? What has it got to do with the operation? Please control the...
This is bullshit then because in places its less then 6km. Currently from turkish border to aleppo saa controlled area is around 20km. That is the narrowest point in Idlib.

One day's advances.
You are right we shouldn't call them rebels more like the resistance. Note even Qalaat Al Muqid's post above refers to them as rebels.
This must be the stop point hence Turkish artillery shelling.
It's pretty obvious that they gave up the M5 without much of a fight. The rebels retreated from most areas. The only real conflict is when the Assadist have got greedy in Nayrab, Maarat al Naasan and Arnaz etc.
I think that they will take the area around Aleppo too and later perhaps M4. Then...
If you think that US will support Turks you are very wrong. They handed over US bases to Russians to stop Turks from getting them. They could have handed the whole northern syria over to turkey but instead they systematically handed it over to Russia. This is how the white man has populated 4...
If you remember the last operation the Turks were sending convoys to the border for weeks even months before any operation began. Turks are waiting for all preparations before they start operation. If you start a battle without preparation you are being drawn into the battle and it is generally...
