Turkey detains 7 HTS/Nusra Front-linked terrorists in Ankara
Turkish security forces detained seven Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)-linked terrorists in the capital Ankara, reports said Wednesday.The arrests came after...
I think the mistake is in the user in this case the Gendarmerie. The lego blocks can really help in the fast construction of some structures but in that case that little... ehm... thing is even dangerous for the soldiers in case of fire. A firing position should optimally be reinforced with sandbags or similar. Those hard points of the lego blocks can really turn into a shrapnel after explosion or enemy fire and can seriously injure or kill the personnel there.

Better off with no fortification. At least it would be harder to spot. Government account seriously sharing this makes it even worse.
Is it feasible to integrate Pulat on these small fortifications to protect against ATGM attacks?
Maybe it was under construction/ preparation but the photographer had limited time and forced them to take a picture?I think the mistake is in the user in this case the Gendarmerie.

The usage in the picture below is the proper way and from the same place.

Shrapnel damage is unavoidable at any case but an APS would prevent penetration. In a best case scenario, the soldier would be injured but still alive. Also Pulat has it's own radar and is cheaper than Akkor.APS changes how infantry/armor function together. You can't have infantry near the armor as the explosive charge from APS might injure or kill anyone near it. Pulat wouldn't be ideal as close how explosion would be to the fortification. It can end causing even more damage when the Pulat explosion and rocket hit is combined. Also Pulat can only protect an certain angle, limited coverage. Maybe it could be applicable in some cases, where it wouldn't dangerous to infantry.
AKKOR would be more ideal as it can neutralize threats from further away. Still not enough distance though. If extended range land based variant can be made. It could be more ideal.
I think the best solution is land based APS radar that can detect, track, locate incoming ATGM, rockets etc. Approx location of attackers can be detected. Quickly a loitering munition can be dispatched like STM Kargu to further track and neutralize. Also it should be able to be integrated variety of other systems, sensors. Automatic mortar fire to neutralize or disorientate attackers so they can't attack further. If quick response can be achieved. Attackers will be less hesitant to attack in the future. Same psychology with the drones as why they can't be in large groups even when there is no drones.
Bases need to build with the threats in mind. Hesco barriers can easily survive ATGM. Fortifications should be designed as much as possible to deflect blast. There should be no death bunkers, you can shoot and kill anyone inside with the blast etc.
I don't think there is a army in the world that gives training to survive use of ATGM against anti-personnel. There should be at this point

We need to be flying drones in Iran. We can. They wouldn't even able to detect or do nothing to them. I am tired of Iran supporting PKK and we are doing nothing. There is so many things we can do.
If Sincar/Duhok region is not under Turkish control it will turn into a endless cleaning operation.I believe that our cleanup in Iraq is necessary to confine the PKK's actions to Iran only. I know that we'll have issue with cleaning up YPG/PKK in Syria because of US support, but that will come too. Once Iraq is cleaned as much as possible we can start erasing PKK and strenghtening Iraq's armed forces. Heck we might as well train them ourselves. That way we can pick and choose who to train.
Exactly, but the Arabs would need arms to stand up to YPG. I believe the Arab league would somehow deal with that. If we can thoroughly control and clean up in Iraq. We'd weaken Irans routes of supply as well.If Sincar/Duhok region is not under Turkish control it will turn into a endless cleaning operation.
You don‘t need to clean Northern Syria you have to fuel ethnic clashes, Arabs will turn in their own lands to peasants of US backed Syrian PKK/Kurds. Use that.
