Turkiye needs to dig in tell everybody that this war will take years to win.

No peace process.

Cyprus conflict has not been solved yet but who cares as long Turkiye defends its interest.

A huge ass guided thermobaric bomb would heat up their tunnels really good, then move in and destroy the tunnels so that they can't be used again.

This is not a big deal for our Defence Industry and makes way more sense than trying to develop useless UGV's for tunnels.

Sources reported that at least 6 terrorists were killed in an attempted infiltration in Gapnerk Mountain. Gapnerk is area of critical importance as there is a tunnel network there.

This is a scandal. Wounded soldiers who could be saved are killed inside by PKK-sympathizers.

The militairy hospitals with only Turkish medics should come back. This stupid government is the most incompetent government Turkey ever has seen.

What if we had a cheap, reusable turboprop dive bomber which delivers very cheap but yuge, dumb thermobaric bombs? Just throwing it out there.

It would be taken out by a stinger is what
Then you hunt down the stinger with other assets covering the downed aircraft.

Admittedly it's just a suggestion. But I wonder if unmanned, cheap and reusable dive bombers have a future. It can work especially if the opponent has weak air defence. It would cut down munitions spending considerably.

In Azerbaijan, almost 99 percent of people say that Erdogan is the best leader of today’s Turkey. I have personally been observing his politics for 25 years, and I believe that he is the greatest political master of this century. Show us at least one leader in Europe, or even in the whole world, who can be compared with Erdogan! There are no such!
Oland is just an idiot. Sarkozy, Macron - these French buffoons.
Joe Biden is nonsense! Trump is a misunderstanding!
Erdogan! The world has never seen such a brilliant leader in our century!

That's because you refuse to look into the Ergenekon-Balyoz sham trials, Çözüm Süreci clown show and the effects of unchecked illegal immigration. Also mismanagement of the economy is on another level.

He could have stopped all of it. He didn't.

Okey he has some good international efforts (Ukraine grain deal, bullying Greece in the Aegean, supporting Karabach, Libyan operation, world is bigger than 5, Kashoggi-exposure, kidnapping of Pastor Brunson, cheap oil from Peshmergas, bullying France in Africa) but his Syrian Campaign is a disaster.

I can agree that there were some dark moments that were not entireli clear to me. But, excuse me, what politician didn"t have them? I'm far from idealizing him.

This is what I'd expect from a country ruled by Aliyev like it's his personal fief.

The issue is that a lot of these tunnels are bored through mountains/are caves in the mountains. It's pretty hard to effectively target them with air dropped bombs.

In fact, I think we are seeing the limits of air-to-ground precision guided bombs... They are great for fighting conventional foes and hitting larger assets, but not particularly suitable for COIN warfare in mountainous terrain.

Autonomous helicopters and large quadrocopters specifically designed to seek, investigate and engage cave/tunnel targets are the next step we must take.

These would be true hunter-killers up in those mountains
