The identity of two of the killed terrorists in yesterday's MIT UCAV strike were revealed by PKK/YBS.
Meanwhile our air forces are continuing their work. 10 PKK terrorists detected in the Qandil and Hakurk regions in northern Iraq were neutralized.
Regular patrols, search and destroy operations are also going on from the ground. IED that was found in the Claw-Lock AO was destroyed by our EOD teams.
Commander of the Land Forces, General Selcuk BAYRAKTAROGLU, inspected the Claw Operations, which continue successfully in the north of Iraq, on site.

Why do so many Yazidis join the PKK.
The ybs logo seems to be ancient persian symbol. Yazidism also has Zoroastrianism in its religion.

Complicated but gist of it is that Iraqis, KRG and we left them to fend for themselves against ISIS. PKK and US basically worked together for a time there. Turns out, huge mistake on our part.

I always wonder how would it be if Turkey would fight against ISIS when they emerged at our borders instead of US and pkk to fill the void there.
Basically this and the consequences are Yazidis don't want to be a part of any military formation to do with Hashd, islamism or the KRG as a result of this, which only leaves the PKK. After all, during ISIS it was yazidi neighbours who betrayed them to ISIS, so they don't trust any other group now. PKK gained a lot of good will from them as a result.
The entire policy of "do nothing and watch" will haunt the country for years to come with ISIS, lost so many opportunities, so damaging.
My thoughts are that Davutoglu's "Arab opening" (really Muslim brotherhood opening) with Arabs on the border was completely wrong, as it is mostly Kurds on the border with Syria and Iraq overall. Hitting ISIS early and becoming the patron of the Kurdish entity in Syria moulded to our liking would have ensured we had friendly entities on all sides of our borders that we had major influence in and prevented the spread of the PKK.
Furthermore the availability of alternatives would have meant the SNA entity would either have to be better and fight Assad or be abandoned if they continued infighting, criminality. We would have much more say in Syria and Iraq. We likely would have strengthened the more sensible SNA factions instead of the crazy islamic ones.
Instead the PKK spread everywhere alongside Iranian IRGC and Iranian proxies.
I sometimes think this is what Erdogan wanted, because what better way to turn the public against the west than to declare a conflict with a western proxy on the borders? This would make campaigning, elections so much easier for Erdogan in addition to supporting his idealogy.

Sna clowns actually came close to destroying Bashar Al Assad they took like 60 to 70 percent of the country and were marching on Damascus.
Literally rumours of Bashar Al assad going into exile but instead the SNA clowns began to fight each other then Isis crossed into Syria also got Nusra into the mix.
Then came Russian intervention alongside the USA going in.
Turkiye relied too much on their proxy clowns to finish the job then beated around the bush.
Erdogan has himself to blame also relying on the Wests bullshit goodwill.

You cant mold the Kurds to your liking.
Ottomans tried centuries to mold the Kurds into their liking instead got numerous rebellions.
Kurds are only loyal to their tribes and clans. Hence why a Kurdistan will never work.
Hence why we need to give up molding up Arabs and the Kurds. Because they will never see Turks as their leaders.

A closer look at the Tepe Bahar area that is most probably destined to be the next operation area of TSK next year.
The hill is at the altitude of 1864m. The length of the hill line is 3 km. Both sides of the sides of the hill are made by sharp, steep rocks and the freedom of movement is limited.
Here we see the main entrance and three other exits of the main tunnel in Tepe Bahar area.
The entrances of the tunnels are opened in very steep (almost vertical) areas where they opened holes from which they can conduct surveillance, attacks by snipers, grenade launchers etc.
If we calculate the length of the tunnel only at the summit area we can conclude that it is long around 1km. Taking in account that these tunnels have low points, labyrinth like design we can conclude that the total length is a couple kilometers.
The windows/exits of the tunnel are expanding from the start of Claw-Lock operations. This year they intensified the expansion of the tunnel and work is still going on inside.

Unfortunately the terrorists managed to pull simultaneous attacks yesterday morning by using mortars and infiltration attempts at many TSK points in the area of Gapnerk Mountain and Matin Mountain.
In the attack on one of the points where the Special Forces are tasked in Matin Infantry First Lieutenant Abdullah KOSE was heavily injured and unfortunately fell martyr. May Allah accept his martyrdom.
In result of these attacks TSK inflicted heavy damage to PKK. In the Matin infiltration against the Special Forces, 5 terrorists were killed initially and 5 more were killed in the following actions.
1 terrorist was killed in the Gapnerk Mountain area.
The terrorists used the opportunity that came with the bad weather in the last couple of days including heavy rain and fog. They first hit the TSK points with heavy weapons, tried to pull out infiltrations and even tried to hit the reinforcements that were coming.

It seems that a permanent base is being established on the Tatasara hill in Hakurk, which has been deployed in the past weeks.
After the Claw-2 operation, that is, after 4 years, an forward hill was taken in Hakurk for the first time.
We can say that we have reached the end of Claw Lock in 2023. What happened in the operation that started late this year?
1. Base areas established in Linik
2. The area between Hetit and Linik was taken
3. Base area in Seri
4. Base area to Matin
5. Base area for 2000 and 2060 altitude peak in the Matina area
6. New units were deployed to the area between Parasiye and the operation area in Metina
7. The area between Parasiya and Tirvanis is taken
8. Deployment took place around the PKK tunnel in Gapnerk mountain
9. New base to the 1500 altitude peak of Gapnerk mountain

Sorry, but can you give us an estimate of distance to our national borders from the objectives listed ?
It seems rats attacked our forward bases, establishments by using their usual tactic. Pin down the positions by using heavy weapons(Mortars and RPG's) then try to infiltrate bases under cover of heavy mechine gun fire.
This is what i get from your message.

3. Base area in Seri- ~9.5km
4. Base area to Matin- ~16km
5. Base area for 2000 and 2060 altitude peak in the Matina area- ~15km
6. New units were deployed to the area between Parasiye and the operation area in Metina- ~11km
7. The area between Parasiya and Tirvanis is taken- ~8km
8. Deployment took place around the PKK tunnel in Gapnerk mountain- ~7.5
9. New base to the 1500 altitude peak of Gapnerk mountain- ~7km

This doesn't seem secure for our troops. What if car crashes to them?

That's right and most importantly they used the weather conditions in their advantage for this operation.
I hope we don't see worst situation in the winter. It is already snowing in Zap, Metina, Gara, Avasin and Hakurk.
