TR Military Operations in Northern Iraq

[Kartal1]

After the TuAF struck targets in Tepe Bahar earlier we now see T-129 Atak activity. Reportedly at least 3 attack helicopters are participating in the strikes, suggesting that something serious may be happening right now.

I hope they use gas to flush them out. Lethal, non-lethal makes no difference to me.

I don't think this design will prove effective in the tunnels of the PKK,

Why? What is wrong with the design?

The biggest difficulty is that with the depth of the tunnels the communication becomes a problem. I thought that we may solve this problem with a fiber cable communication and data link, but so far I don't see any Turkish product featuring it.

Why not just give it a gun and program the AI to kill everything that moves in those Tunnels? It's different from a civilian area and has fewer variables than an open space area; it is a small, closed-off tunnel system after all. If TSK already knows all the tunnels exist, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

First of all it is too big. The tunnels are designed in such a way which allows a human to move only by crawling at some places. Adding a gun to it will make it even bulkier. The AI idea is more suited for a movie There is no such AI which can effectively navigate these tunnels, kill only whatever it has to kill and not to forget that our soldiers are also moving in these tunnels.

The tunnels are not small. They are killometers long, multiple floors, got multiple entry points, they are reinforced etc. These tunnels are not to be confused with the caves the MoD shares occasionally.
