Operations are moving nicely. There were interesting finds in the cave where 6 terrorists were neutralized recently. The most interesting for me were laser range finders, calculators, snowshoes, gas masks and oxygen tanks. Documents of the organization were also seized.

Another very interesting find is that our commandos managed to discover a very large 4 room hostage cave. The cave was equipped with metal door, generators and sandbags. The cave is big enough to host around 70 people. In the cave mortar rounds and IEDs were also found and seized.

That's a lot of stuff, Is that green thing in the end of second video a generator ?
What happens to all the captured stuff, Is it scraped, blown off, send to storage to collect rust and dust or used for research purpose ?
Some of the stuff is in good condition, it will be waste just to throw it off.

No. It is cleaning substances. Those around it are bags full of flour. In order to sustain life in there for the determined period of time they need such life sustainment stuff.

If there are interesting things among the captured weapons and ammunition it goes to some units for training purposes and if there is something exceptional it's sometimes taken in the inventory. At times we see modern AK rifles with picatinny handguards (non-Sarsilmaz) suitable for exploitation in the inventory of the security forces and as far as I know it is captured equipment but majority is destroyed or at least that is the official procedure.

He was not martyred in Northern Iraq. He was martyred in Hakkari. I posted in internal operations thread. You can take a look if you are interested.

Are you sure ? My Turkish is very limited and relies on translators but I think he was injured in northern Iraq according to the article ;


Of course you might know better than me!

Its interesting situation. There are two articles from TRT stating different things. He was treated in GATA (ex-military hospital) in Ankara for 14 days and unfortunately didn't make it. Northern Iraq or not he is our martyr. Rest in peace.

Unfortunately we have a martyr in the operations in Northern Iraq. Engineer Specialist Corporal Yasin OZDAMAR. According to sources his EOD team was ambushed at close range and he was martyred in the firefight. The two terrorists who martyred our corporal were neutralized.
