Bell AH-1 Cobra of Turkish Army Aviation shot down

[باپ]

this sucks.. its open terrorism support
we have lost cobras too but its unclear if they were lost due to lucky RGP shots at mountain ranges flying low or due to SAMs.. one military transport helicopter which was lost carrying Norwegian diplomats was due to SAM which was shown by TTP... some scumbags from India openly celebrated on this forum and on youtube claiming that it was their gift to TTP


the FSA and Al Nusra terrorists are brandishing American TOW missiles that are attacking vintage Syrian tanks of Russian origin

But the surviving diplomats said they did not see any SAM or did not feel anything hitting the helicopter.
What made you reach such a conclusion?

A Turkish Cobra attack helicopter has been shot down by PKK militants in southeastern Turkey near the Iraq border on 13 May 2016. The gunship was providing Turkish troops with close air support during a skirmish with the Kurdish rebel group when it was targeted by what appears to be an Igla MANPAD.



Before the video surfaced, Turkish military claimed the helicopter crashed due to a technical failure, but as we can see it was an infrared homing surface-to-air missile that brought it down. It’s unclear at this time where the rebel group may have gotten the air defense system or if they have more. Both pilots were killed in the event.

BEHDINAN - ANF
HPG (People's Defense Forces) Press Office has announced the results of the 'Revolutionary Operation' in Aşutê (Çığlı) village of Hakkari's Çukurca district.

Accordingly, at least 48 soldiers were killed here and bodies of 15 remained in the clashes area. Guerrillas downed a Cobra helicopter and seized a large quantity of ammunition belonging to Turkish soldiers.

The statement pointed out that the action by guerrillas, dedicated to Amed martyrs in the person of Azad Siser and Çekdar Amed and guerrillas martyred in Xakurkê, targeted 60 soldiers deployed on a hill near the village of Aşutê (Çığlı).

According to the HPG statement, more than 48 soldiers were killed as guerrillas seized the whole control of the hill during the clashes that lasted one hour. Bodies of 15 soldiers remained in the clashes area. HPG recalled that one Cobra type helicopter was also downed here, the footage of which was released earlier today, adding that 2 pilots in the helicopter died. A mortar and an A-4 weapon were also destroyed.

The intense activity of Turkish drones was accompanied by a heavy bombardment from 3 Cobra helicopters and 4 jets of the Turkish military.

HPG said two guerrillas fell fighting in the Revolutionary Operation and their ID details will be announced later.

The statement underlined that; "The pro-war media ruled by the Palace have made efforts to resort and hide the true results of the battle which are highlighted in the statements and footage released by our side."

PKK is officially communist socialist party, it's a "kurdistan working party" closely affiliated with Russia.
Let me show you the origins of their weaponry, data collected as of 2007:
Rifles: 5,713 of (959 traceable) 45.2% from Russia, 13.2% from United Kingdom, and 9.4% from United States.

Rocket launchers 1,610 (313 traceable) 85% from Russia, 5.4% from Iraq, and 2.5% from China in origin.

Grenades 3,490 (136 traceable) 72% from Russia, 19.8% from United States, 8% from Germany

If you take a look at that youtube clip, you will see about 40% of comments are by Russians celebrating the attack.

This is the real footage. Watch from around 4:30

Why doesnt Turkey also respond by doing the same? Russia is a federation that has many states with secessionist movements.

Any idea about is the Manpad SA14/16/18/24?

We did that during the 1990s with Chechen seperatist movements (not official state policy, but millions of Turks through effective organization, mostly originated in Europe). But Putin installed a puppet Chechen leader Kadyrov and appointed him leader of the Chechen federation. Through shady dealings and mass media propaganda he amassed the support of most Chechens, except some who still struggle for complete independence and are closer affiliated with Turkey

What made you reach such a conclusion?

videos by the TTP showing the SAM system with warhead, tube and primer
its not a conclusion but pointing at a possibility
the crash is unexplained and TTP will claim it as a matter of habit but its silly to ignore every possibility

 

[Zibago]

And few you tube comments "prove" possible source from India??

Who knows they financed mukti dogs too you know

 

[Zibago]

Yes yes the random you tube guy has a SAM factory in his garage

He might be an informer who knows

 

[AbRaj]

Who knows they financed mukti dogs too you know

BTW India didn't financed mukti bahini, though later we supported them and even Indian army fought alongside them against your forces.

RIP pilots

You mean asking its ISIS,AL-Nusra terrorists to leave Syria and go to Russia?

 

[Timur]

Instead looking after terrorists, UN better investigates how terror organizations reach these weapons, be it ISIS or PKK/YPG.

than germany us russia france china could not sell weapons to destroy arabs turks pakistanis and muslims in general.. that is not logic..

Salahdin was also Kurd.. He conquered Jerusalem.

Tariq bin Ziad was a berber. Muhammad bin Qasim was an Ummaiyad, Turgut Raes was a pirate before meeting Barbarossa. Kurds have long been a trouble for the integrity of the region.
