Maybe this could be a real ultimatum, now no one believes because we said every time we would go in but we suddenly really go in and it would be a great suprise[emoji12] i dunno we saw some military hospitals set up last week i thought or am i wrong

For me its not going to be a surprise... for me its just wrong to talk everyday about something that is not happening. At the end it will not be surprising not only for me but for the enemy to because after all that talking you must be dumb to not take the needed measures to secure your positions and PKK is not dumb.

Turkish military opens artillery fire on targets in Syria’s Afrin
HATAY – Anadolu Agency

The Turkish military on Jan. 13 opened artillery fire on the Democratic Union Party (PYD) and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) targets in northern Syria’s Afrin.

According to information gathered by Anadolu Agency in Idlib, Turkish artillery units hit PKK/PYD forces from the Reyhanlı and Kırıkhan dictricts of Turkey's southern province Hatay and a Turkish Armed Forces observation point in Idlib at noon.

Idlib is one of four de-escalation zones in Syria covered by a deal meant to reduce violence that was struck last year by Turkey, Russia and Iran.

Turkish Armed Forces fired at least 36 times during the artillery bombardment in Afrin's Bosoufane, Cindirese, Deir Bellout and Rajo districts.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke about the Afrin operation at the provincial congress meeting of his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) in eastern province of Elazığ on Jan. 13.

"We are destroying the western wing of this corridor with the Idlib operation," Erdoğan said.

Erdoğan added that if terrorists in Afrin did not surrender, Turkey would interfere.

The only thing that happens is we send more equipment, and we fire some artillery to keep the idiots at home content. Meanwhile the whole northern Syria is becoming a breeding ground for terrorists. Can anyone post the date of the first time Erdogan said he was going into Menbij and Afrin? This is getting pathetic.

Right after the Euphrates Shield operation so like 10 months ago

I honestly don't get the point of why he keeps saying it if he's not going to do it. At first he said Aleppo (nothing happened), then he said Manbij (nothing happened), then he said Raqqa (got backstabbed and nothing happened after that), now Afrin...

 

[what]

Why dont we just shell and drone bomb the living shit out of them instead of risking the lifes of soldiers?

There are reported clashes near Kara Baba village between TSK and YPG. Also some are reporting artillery strikes on enemy targets.

If some sort of operation is going to happen next week i hope it involves the Turkish naval forces.

 

[Oublious]

People are rushing, i think they have learned from the mistakes so preparing takes time. Ther was logictics problem did we forget?

If some sort of operation is going to happen this next week i hope it involves the Turkish naval forces.

For what? We are fighting on the ground, most likely airforce.

For the sole purpose of experience.
I'm sure we would do just fine without our naval forces . And it wouldn't hurt to test our new toys...
