I am against using chemical attacks in cities and urban areas, populated areas, but up in mountains and cave systems, I wouldn't mind if it became part of the doctrin. But that is purely my own pov.Poisonous gas? Are you serious?
Why do they go inside, smoke out the caves and burn them. Dont risk the lives of the soldiers.Unfortunately our martyr number increased to two. The name of the martyr will be disclosed soon. Rest in Peace!
Our operations are continuing day and night. Our Commandos managed to clean many caves and captured large quantities of weapons, ammunition and life sustainment equipment.
Here you can see in what environment our soldiers are fighting. A cave with two entry points and corridor where one can only cross crawling.
I don't wanna go into politics but since some posters here made it regular to share his holiness(not you) in this thread, i will join too.
Minister of National Defense Akar: Nearly 400 targets in Metina and Avaşin-Basyan were hit from the ground, and more than 60 targets from the air.
TSK land units are seen on the top of Zinnar mountain in Metina. All air assault operations were completed without problems, land units were infiltrated in the area and the operations are continuing with full force.

Mete Yarar is the ultimate garbage creator.
Unfortunately the Government like to mix military operations with politics and this is for sure not healthy. I don't like it when that happens but have to share those statements as information. Your concerns are legit. For many years we are hearing the same words over and over again. Only in recent couple of years I saw improvement but its not even closely to the stage where terror is "defeated". In the last two years it looks like they are creating the base for future operations in Northern Iraq and also emphasis was given to internal operations. From now on only time will show what their true intention is.I don't wanna go into politics but since some posters here made it regular to share his holiness(not you) in this thread, i will join too.
"Our goal is to completely eliminate the terror threat at our southern borders."said Erdogan. I would open him a credit if he had said this 20 years ago.
As a Turkish citizen, i have right to say "So, why didn't you eliminated terror at our southern border" ?
If people are going to share nonsense of AKP president, i might as well join.
Mete Yarar plays his game. We know his sympathies and affiliations. The problem with him for me is that it's difficult to know when he is talking bullsh!t and when he is not. Also a major problem is that even if he is Ex OKK personnel, have friends on some places and is a journalist some of his statements are pointing at a serious OPSEC breach on some level. I am not sure if that breach of security is intentional or it is in result of the lack of responsibility of military and security forces personnel but it is a major problem. The most recent example of that was our failed hostage rescue operation where our citizens were martyred in Gara. Just on the start of the operation where our Special Forces probably didn't even completed their helicopter drop Mete Yarar posts in Twitter and says "That night very important people will be rescued". This is not how it's done. There is nothing honorable in revealing such information even if you got it in some way. There are also other examples of that lack of responsibility. I have little respect for him. The little respect that I have for him is coming from his actions during the 2015-2016 city operations. The only thing I respect in his journalism career is that period of his. Other than that he is not in my list for serious sources or analyzers.Mete Yarar is the ultimate garbage creator.
He was saying "We are going into Mumbic" we are going to do this, we are going to that. Almost all of his insights proved to be wrong. Yet, people still quotes this charlatan.
100% is impossible for everyone except America, China is using American chips on their missiles.We need 100% domestic TB2 with engine and gps system etc. and use them heavily for testing and such, develop cheaper and smaller MAM varients for personnel use, and develop some with poisonous gases to be used on places where we don't send soldiers immediately.
All readers and dear members of the forum be advised! There is a video circulating that claims to show PKK attack with Turkish casualty. The video is in fact from the shooting of the "Savasci" (Warrior) series. Don't be deceived by terrorist propaganda.
The identity of our second martyr in the operations was disclosed. He is Infantry Enlisted Private Mustafa CALIM. He was martyred in a firefight with PKK terrorists. A terrorist was killed on the same spot. Unfortunately a soldier that was injured by IED in the same day also fell martyr. His name is Infantry Lieutenant Mehmet KIVIK. May Allah accepts their martyrdom and give them the Garden of Firdaus!Unfortunately our martyr number increased to two. The name of the martyr will be disclosed soon. Rest in Peace!
