New Recruit
Seems erdogan have very big mouth.speak less and deliver more is best policyand erdogan was talking about capturing raqqa, and manbij, just yesterday. when we can't even take al bab..
No operation or war goes smoothly according to plan, even though i hate to admit it, when we chose to secure North Syria from terrorist we accepted the fact that we would suffer casualties. However, the operations' success are debatable, i just hope our army hardens with experience during these operations and rate of failure and casualties will drop in the future, inshallah
Seems like Al-Bab is gonna take longer than expected.Turkish-led forces withdrawn from Aqil hills that is now back under ISIS's control.

important TSK reinforcements (T-155s, armours & 500 Special Forces) sent to Al-Bab to cope with ISIS stiff resistance.

Turkish special forces continue the preparations to take Al Bab.

Depending on FSA is not a reliable strategy for larger urban areas. We went in and clear Aqil, FSA then lost it again. We are depending on their infantry for covering our armored vehicles. That didn't work out, now we are sending in more troops. I say we just send in a few thousand guys and take this city. After taking Al-Bab we can reduce the troop number in Syria to how it was before. Also we need to get the civilians out of Al-Bab, that is a major stall for the operation but ISIS is keeping them there. They executed a guy who was trying to get civilians out. Lets see, this will take some more time.Turkish-led forces withdrawn from Aqil hills that is now back under ISIS's control.

Also the city should be completely surrounded, right now they are able to bring weapons and ammunition into the city without any problems.
I wouldn't be surprised if hundreds of FSA were already lost in Al-bab.

As if we took control of al-Bab already,people are talking about new targets.Just like Mete Yarar said in a recent interview, there are not enough Turkish troops for al-Bab. Once our guys have control over the hill, they either must defend it or press on the attack, which is very difficult with limited numbers against big numbers of entrenched, yet very mobile isis, but defending and attacking at the same time under the current situation seems difficult due to isis counterattacks in big numbers and the limited number of Turkish troops, which makes the attack and hill defense fragile. Those silly screw ups of the commanders don't help either and the FSA might as well be taken out of the equation for al-bab, but defending that hilltop alone won't do much as isis will just wait for another opportunity to storm with VBIEDs. Hence the ping pong all the time. Hope the reinforcements will break the stalemate situation.
You know you're not wrong.I might be wrong.
What a question.Btw how is Turkey going to take into account the presence of a huge number civilains in the city ?
