How many anka/bayraktar tb2 does the turkish army have ? I keep reading different numbers like 10/15/50 anka and something like 60/100/150 bayraktar. It's confusing.
True.
It seems that turkish army is modernised like some of its cities : Fast but without rigor.
There is a lot of flood accident in some turkish cities and urban planning aberrations are numerous. While the turkish army got a lot of new gears and vehicules, its infrastructures are poor ...
According to the International Crisis Group, if you count a ratio of death per day since 2015, yes. It was more than 1 soldier/policeman/village guard killed in 2016 but less than 0,5 in 2017. And less than 1 in 2018 (counting the Afrin fatalities). : http://crisisgroup.be/interactives/turkey/...
It says 100kJ for the railgun. Kinetic energy for a 140 gram projectile at 900 m/s is 56kJ. Weird...
But it's nothing comparable with a m16 fire. A m16 fires a 4 gram 5.56mm bullet with a muzzle energy of around 2kJ.

France won't lease FREMM to Greece.
Anyway, the operation need a bigger frontline, more men power and defenses lines and more air support from planes.
And stop sending tanks, you have nothing that can save them from atgm at the moment.
I still don't understand turkish strategy.
Focus on the valleys south and north of Afrin and capture the moutains around them before, then cross the valleys until it reaches the city.
Battle in the western moutains are the hardest because they are the highest and the most defended and fortified.
Of course you need to capture the mountains first, but why not quickly pushing through the northern area and capture the highest mountains of Afrin's region ? Bubul should be captured already, as well as the top north-west corner.
And why turkish army don't use its aircraft for direct fire...
