Our politicians can easily decide to increase troops counts, but that is probably because they can't deliver on hardware that TSK really needs. So they make a show of increasing troops.
It's not a show per se. More complicated. But it is true that old units are being reclassed as commando units. Most of our active commando brigades are not actually "commandos"; they are light(er) infantry. No more motorized infantry in the ranks, they're all commando now. With 8x8 and tank deliveries starting, expect some of these commando units being reverted to mechanized units. Don't expect a large increase in manpower; it's more so a shuffling of the units; not increasing number.

But not to say that these lightly armed(less guns, armor) units have not worked good for us. For the kind of warfare we did in the last decade mostly in Syria, these highly mobile, easy to deploy units were more than enough for what we needed them for, and cheap too.

The AKSUNGUR UAV conducted a flight over Damascus, the capital of Syria.

We flew Aksungur drones in Syria, 35-40 km away from Israel. The Turkish Armed Forces are monitoring Israel's military buildup.
It will be necessary to have ground units nearby to recover in case of "unknown 358 missile is used to take down our UAV. Israel would do that. And our government would sweep it under the rug

That’s not correct. WE are building all of these.
Have you ever heard Cihat Yaycı's statements ? PKK / SDF became a reality and a defacto autonomous state in Syria including some red listed terrorists in the Syrian Government's top places like Vice Minister of Defence or Deputy Chief of Staff......................................................

Things are far from finished to be honest. We haven't seen the end of war yet.

No need for a source on a simple statement like this. Past red notice YPG/PKK leaders are now part of Syrian MoD, like Sipan Hemo.

This isn't good. I think it's necessary to identify any external forces pulling strings.

Druze rebelled in Caramana, 10 km away from the capital Damascus in Syria.


Damascus Internal Security Command launched a large patrol convoy on the road to Caramana district, where Druze live densely.

In addition, reinforcements were sent to all checkpoints at the entrances and exits of the district and inspections were increased more frequently.

Today, Druze supporters of Hekmat al-Hijiri protested against the Syrian government and reiterated their support for the separatist Hijiri.

I don't think anything will be done in Caramana. Caramana's end will eventually be like the end of Şeyh Maksut and Eşrefiye.

The current activity is to upset the stomachs of those who are sick, to make them lose sleep, and to give the message that the State is on the alert.

Note: Caramana and Suveyda are not the same. Suwayda's location, conditions and military power are very different from Caramana.

Useless tbh
The druze project is destined to fail unless Israel commits militarily to connect druze lands with Israel through boots on the ground. Israel, on the other hand, will never commit to a military campaign unless Syria's supply lines from Turkey, Jordan, and Iraq are cut off which are extremely hard to do with the removal of US troops and Turkey controlling 95% of Syria's soil

Furthermore, with every passing day, Turkey gets stronger and the gap with Israel gets bridged and the same for Syria. Israel knows that and are trying to disrupt Syria through third-rate drug-dealing druze alliances and ISIS attacks

Turkey just got humbled in Syria by Israel, again. As if the T4 and Palmyra incident back in 2024 wasnt enough
It is one hell of a slap on the face from Natenyahu to Erdogan

The base was located just 70km from turkish border; where are the AD systems? Where are the radars? Where are turkish fighter jets that ought to counter such attacks; if this was a turkish attack near the Golan heights, then you would have seen 3 squadrons of Israeli fighter jets ready to counterattack

This was a signal by Israel that they wont allow Syria to acquire "certain" offensive capabilities and they are ready to revert Syria to the stone age if needed. In other words, Israel wants Syria weak enough thag when Israel starts to expand, none can go against it

Türkiye won't do anything with Erdoğan at the helm. Mark my words.

He's just in Syria to keep Iranian influence out, Israel will toy with Turkish Armed Forces knowing Erdoğan is too fragile to respond.

Mecca agreement this, Mecca agreement that, all a bunch of bullsht
