Heavy clashes are going on between PKK and our soldiers at Matin Mountain. May Allah protect our soldiers and make them victorious!

Bad rumors are circulating around the attack on Matin Mountain. Please don't share anything before official confirmation from the Ministry of National Defence!

Turkey has advanced satelite technology and drones and should cleanse the whole area from these LGBT-rainbow towelheads.

 

[Angry Turk !!!]

The Turkish Military reaction for our Martyrs is simply to weak. Dropping some bombs here and there, killing some subhumans here and there AIN'T enough! You either eradicate all of the north both in syria and iraq or this shit will go on for eternity... Cut their fucking water supply, couldn't give two shits if all of them die.

All the tech in the world doesn't mean shit if the leaders are fucking weaklings.

 

[YeşilVatan]

We don't intentionally kill civilians. Stop saying we need to kill civilians. That's westoid behaviour. We shouldn't stoop to that level.

But villages close to the front need to be invaded. They serve as logistics and smuggling hubs for PKK.

We also need to bomb Syrian oilfields, force US officials to justify why the Syria budget is balooning to a senate committee. That's way more scary to those pack of hyenas than any field action.

 

[Agha Sher]

Shame on anyone who is calling for a genocide. @mods need to take action!

I see many ppl commenting that how on earth such an attack happened when Turkey has multiple surevillance drones and spy satellites? The answer is simple, and that is the weather! We are currently in the winter season which means heavy clouds, rain, storms and poor visibility. This means that in numerous occasions drones and spy satellites are rendered useless. This is why the PKK are stepping up their attacks during the rainy season since it is the perfect natural camouflage for their suicidal troops

 

[Lool]

Some people are also wondering why on earth is Turkey not bombing the shit out of the mountains where they are hiding and the answer to that is that PKK mountainous caves are well-hidden, deeply drilled into the mountain with multiple exits and branches.

You cant expect a military ops into those tunnels without knowing all the possible exits (at the very least) and no country has the weaponry to obliterate dozens of massive thousand-years old mountains with conventional weaponry and bombing. I even wonder whether nuclear bombs has the capability to do so or not in the first place (which Turoey doesnt even have)

In the past it used to be spring offensives and calm during winter.

Second time within such a short period, I'm really furious right now. Something is not right currently.

@everyone please follow our rules. Be better than those that are suicide bombing civilians.

 

[IC3M@N FX]

Why are the PKK positions not completely destroyed?
The drones monitor the entire region 24 hours a day. There must be enough reconnaissance with night vision and thermal vision to identify these targets by now. These fucking people can't just sit in the cave for 24 hours...

That area of Iraq needs foots and alot of them so to solve this one and forever Turkiye needs to send 100+k soldiers inside north iraq and take every village under control or those attacks will happens forever .

 

[Bozan]

At the end of the day the other side of the border needs to be secured by a military force that isn't TR and it needs to be urbanized or have secured economic activity so weapons are not so prevalent. This should have occurred in Syria as well, but the situation with the Kurds was not understood at all in foreign policy.

You can thank Davutoglu's foreign policy here but also that of previous governments.

That area of Iraq needs foots and alot of them so to solve this one and forever Turkiye needs to send 100+k soldiers inside north iraq and take every village under control or those attacks will happens forever .

This kind of mobilization simply isn't sustainable with the budget or the failure of foreign policy situation of TR.

As a result, this war will drag on for at least another decade. I am wondering how the conflict will shift when the leaders of the PKK die of old age. I think the movement will splinter with radical groups forming.

And it is political suicide for any government to negotiate or ally with any Kurdish entity to fight the PKK by proxy and drain them of resources, due to the heated situation internally with domestic politics.

Iraq won't secure the border because Iran doesn't want it to.

TR can't do what is necessary in foreign policy, militarily or in diplomacy to end this close to 5 decades conflict. I think it's a mistake to blame this on the west as well, it is a sign of weakness in these three areas.

 

[mehmed beg]

Urbanisation? Really? Armenians, Greeks, Asyrians and others had all of that, it turned out for them as it did. Eventually something similar will happen to the Kurds . Not on such scale but what I am sure that the thing that they want will not happen.
This is not 40 years old , it is 150 160 years old problem. Not much in the root of thing changed.
To build a public toilet in some mountain village? That will solve the issue? Hahaha. By the way in the context of history, regular and recorded conflicts happen there for the last 5000 years. Afterall, Anatolia is nor Scandinavia where mostly nothing really happens, like forever.

Yesterday we lost 9 soldiers in a single attack on Matin. The terrorists used the bad weather due to which our soldiers were caught unprepared and no reconnaissance or air support was available for their defence. Only after the weather improved for a short time, our attacks moved to the area in order to cover the evacuation of our martyrs/wounded. Air strikes commenced and the clashes stopped.

People don't understand that the reconnaissance means we have don't work in such a weather. No UAV or F-16 can see anything below this fog. No thermal imager or night vision on ground can see trough this. The visibility is falling to 5-10 meters. The bad location is the main factor for the martyrdom of our soldiers. Second factor is the not so well prepared positions (lack of time, weather preventing work).

Infantry Lieutenant Gokhan DELEN, Infantry Specialist Sergeant Serkan SAYIN, Infantry Specialist Sergeant Hakan GUN, Infantry Specialist Sergeant Ahmet KOROGLU, Infantry Enlisted Private Muslum OZDEMIR, Infantry Enlisted Private Kemal BATUR, Infantry Enlisted Private Emrullah GULMEZ, Engineer Enlisted Private Murat ATAR, Engineer Enlisted Private Muhammed Tunahan EVCIN. May Allah accept their martyrdom!

 

[Sanchez]

Almost an entire forward operating platoon. There will be many questions to be asked on Matin once this winter season ends.

All that tech, hundreds of drones. And it still falls to our most modern jet available with a Sniper pod and a HGK-84 to rain fire.

 

[UkroTurk]

What are our soldiers doing is not easy task.

Terrorists could hide themselves in the mountains. Currently vision of our soldiers ZERO due-to weather conditions.

We have app 50 bases some of them are very little and vulnerable.

Look at the topography of northern ıraq.

Excuse me because the maps are from enemy.

 

[Slayer]

Im disgusted. I get it. Bad weather etc. But you take that into account when you put a FOB there. Countermeasures.
Mekanlari cennet olsun.
