RIP for the martyrs.
As Kemal Pasha said, "I am ordering you to die for the fresh one are waiting to replace us"
Wasnt it like ''I dont order you to retreat, i order you to die'' or something like that?

10th accident or so because of powerlines in the last few decades.
Because of lack of those:

İt's a warning sphere. Aviation obstruction marking spheres are designed to make electricity transmission lines, especially cross river high voltage transmission lines visible for aircraft pilots.
 
In 2007 or 2008 , TEIAS(Turkish power transmission company) and Army aviation stuff met after a crash like this. And then TEIAS put these warning sphere on Power transmission lines where intersection of helicopter flying ways and transmission lines. And peak of power transmission pylons were painted with reflecting paint. But now again A helicopter hit a transmission line.
