Turkish Peace Operations in Syria (Operation Olive Branch) Updates & Discussions

[Nurhak40]

Because some people can't stfu and need the attention. These morons put our soldiers in danger so they can get a couple retweets and likes.


We should go in at night. Bomb their fortifactions from the air with Bunkerbusters and then storm it with the rebels in the front with our guys at the rear. Also they should take no prisoners just put a bullet in every single ones head the moment they try to surrender and they will we all know it. They like to play badass but when it comes push to shove they all dress like women and try to surrender.

We need to blitzkrieg it. Just Air raid trough the whole night and storm every single position.

Now they even protect their war crimes. What a piece of shit country. They are videos and pictures of the two young guys they tortured. Go to hell US.

Why use bunkerbusters? I dont think they have heavy concrete fortifications or bunkers at all

They had enough time to dig in and fortify their defenses.

Look at the whole Twitter thread, they have been building their defensives since 2015.

My gut feeling says that we're going to lose a lot of armour

 

[OguzSenturk]

We don't have to get in the city center. If we just liberate all the Afrin's countryside, that will be enough. Then put few FSA groups around Afrin, let them take the city center in 2-3 years, who cares.. If we take countryside of Afrin, our Hatay-Kilis borders will be completely secure.

 

[Nurhak40]

Those fortifications and tunnels are easily destroyed with normal bombs you dont need bunkerbusters for it but still lets use it and dig them deeper then they will ever be burried

The border to Hatay is very mountanious and forest area. Comparable to Kandil. The rest is flat.
Though,it will be a hard nut without strong air support. I wish Allah protect and bless our guys.
Remember how we defeated the strongest Navy and assault troops.

I picked him randomly. #afrin on Twitter, there are many sources.

I think its best to not share fake or unconfirmed news about Afrin operation. Its a sensitive subject.

Agreed. But you know for sure, recent delivery of MANPADS.
Manpads can be ATGW or also AAGW

I just hope this operation doesn't include the use of (heavy) tank units and attack helicopters.

I'm not exactly very informed about military tactics or international rules but; does TAF has any carpet bombing capabilities? and is it actually internationally legal? Because those fortifications could be taken in an hour with the right bombs dropped on a few strategic locations. Perhaps even save numerous lives on the ground. And it is not like the fortifiers of these defenses are civilians. These are whatever you call them, either terrorists or soldiers but definitely not civilians.

We actually bombed that exact fortification with artillery a time ago and those tunnels were burning

Does anyone know if any TR-300 Kasırga units were sent to the border? I really wanna see those things in action.
