Turkish Star Wars epic lizard fight: Do I mean nothing to you anymore?
BTW I got to watch this movie, I enjoyed some other movies about Turkish military stuff (Dag and Dag II)
This is very special movie bro. Very realistic. The Turkish army was very much neglected in the Southeast especially in the 90s and the early 2000s. They tried to do something about that neglect but didn't succeed really up to 2017. Many such outposts were open to deadly attacks and the bigger outposts were turned to a Kalekol (Fortress Base) late. It is really showing how an attack like this would be. There are so much people who experienced the scenario of the movie that the military and political elite should be ashamed.
