TR Military Operations in Northern Iraq

[Iskander]

Turkish intelligence neutralized high-ranking representatives of the terrorist organization PKK Khadija Kaya (call sign Nujyan Isyan) and Heva Kivelcek (call sign Diljin Azadi), who were preparing to attack the Hakurk operational zone in northern Iraq.

It is reported that their plans were revealed by employees of the National Intelligence Organization (MİT) of Turkey through agents embedded in the PKK. During the operation, both terrorists were eliminated, - Azerbaijani websites write.

PKK allegedly shot down an Aksungur UAV with an Iranian supplied "358" missile. There is a big chance that the missiles are stocked and positioned in Gara which automatically makes Gara target of big importance. The presence of the "358" missile in Gara may result in very serious difficulties towards the accomplishment of the predetermined goals of the Claw-Lock operation. Interesting times are coming.

UAV belonging to the terrorist organization PKK was shot down in the north of Iraq.

PKK's UAV tests fail.

An X-UAV Talon belonging to the PKK was identified.

It is known that the PKK terrorist organization has previously carried out this type of UAV/drone tests and received unsuccessful results.

In the images, it was seen that a new receiving antenna system was integrated compared to previous UAV/drone variants.

It is wondered which countries or groups the terrorist organization received support from to develop their UAV/drone program.

It is known that the YBS received drone training by Iran and were also supplied drones.

Meanwhile what is happening in PKK/YBS controlled territories? 4 girls of Arab origins were kidnapped so they can forcefully join the YBS ranks. After the families of the girls reached out to the Iraqi Army negotiations for their release were started. In result of the negotiations the 4 girls were released.

Very serious movement started in the Zap-Metina area between the villages of Sergele and Berci. Attack helicopters are active.

It is thought that the operation is entering a new phase.

PKK shared a video which shows a couple of suicide drone attacks against TSK positions from 2 days ago. No casualties in these attacks, but the situation is very serious. Yesterday we posted the pictures of malfunctioned/shot down suicide drone. PKK are intensifying their work on their suicide drone programs as they also received the "358" missile from Iranian proxies in Iraq.

It is thought that we may have witnessed an air assault operation targeting Tepe Bahar.

After the intense work on preventing regular logistics flow from Gara towards Tepe Bahar, the gaining of full control over Gapnerk Mountain and the targeting of the tunnel networks in the east side of Metina camp we came to a phase where Tepe Bahar was a matter of time. Apart from the regular airstrikes on Tepe Bahar tonight we witnessed an intense T-129 Atak activity. This may be a sign that positions were suppressed meanwhile soldiers were dropped by helicopters at predetermined locations. I think it will become clear in a couple of days. We are expecting a PKK statement soon apart from other open source information.

Huge risk

Huge risk

Imo FOP that has buildings and such need to have a mini AD systems. Something that is easy and very compact. Like short barrelled 35mm or 20 mm with quad packed mete mini missile.

Instead of blaming US supplying drones to PKK what is our excuse? Why is there no any protection against drones?

It is high time that our companies develop anti drone drones

Didn’t we previously talk about the need for anti drone backpack and some additionl platforms to serve FOP or bases.

Don’t even need kinetic countermeasures. FOBs are numbered, say 100 at most. We already have dazzler and radar combinations that would make quick work of any camera in the sky. They’re just not deployed in sufficient numbers. Today it was a camera, tomorrow it will be a mortar round.

TSK has the needed equipment to counter such attacks both in the way of EH and hard kill systems in the area, but the location at which the latest attacks has its specifics which don't allow TSK to take the needed measures. I am sure that soon a solution will be developed, but it may take a bit of time.

We also may not see this solution immediately after it is deployed due to OPSEC concerns. The exact location is very sensitive in this context.

Every component of the İhtar system can be carried on S70.

I think it has something to do with the villages (civilians) under Amedi and Matin and the close proximity to the tunnels.

Another phase of the ongoing Claw Lock operation, which was launched in the Metina region in the spring, has successfully ended.

Troops affiliated with the Turkish Armed Forces continue to advance by taking control of the dominant hills around the organization's tunnels in the Metina Mountain range.

While the hills in the north were taken under control in order to cut off supplies to the tunnels on the slopes of the Metina Mountain range, more than 10 km of progress was made at the summit of the range.

It is expected that the Turkish Armed Forces troops, who are advancing by reducing the movement area of the organization, will completely siege the Metina camp in the coming days.

The organization uses villages in the region.

The presence of many villages around TSK points and tunnels belonging to the terrorist organization slows down and restricts the progress of the troops in the field.

Members of the organization, who use the villages in the region, use harassment fire directly from inside the houses in the village, while they also fire mortars from the fields and garden areas frequently used by civilians.

Although it was seen in previous Claw operations that the organization used houses in villages as bases and installed power lines from villages to tunnels, this is the first time an operation has been carried out in an area with such a dense civilian population.
