Important development.
Instructor team working for Canik Academy provided training for Malian Armed Forces personnel in Bamako.
When we look at the Canik Academy staff we see that a big part of the instructors working there were previously part of the Turkish Navy's SOF (SAT). One of the instructors we see in the video is the director of the Canik Academy which is Ismail Dut. Ismail Dut is the 2015-2021 SAT Chief Instructor. He was active in SAT till 2021 and retired.

War requires a coordinated effort, utilizing the different components of the forces you have at your disposal the best way possible. People thought that TB-2s will also be enough. Well, the reality is far from these assumptions...
