Just in 2013, 119 New outposts decided to be built on the Southern-east. I couldn't find the source but as far as i know there are 1800 outpostsin the region...Let's put 50 soldiers in all of them...which makes 90000 soldier.. and we are going to install high-tech cameras, RCS, mortar sites, UAVs..train their operators (once in a year or twice because of the orientation
And it's going to be attacked by the 200-300-500 PKK terrorists. In a rainy or foggy day (then you can't call for Cobras, use UAV's or mini UAVs) Mine fields are not easy to place in a rocky and mountanious area. they shift their place in time, due to rains, and PKK collobrater villagers, map the minefield while it's being placed and relay it to PKK. RCS is a stationary target and can easly be destroyed from a few rounds from a 12.7mm Doçka. In many outposts terrorists has the altitude advantage.
An example for what i'm saying.

More over we are talking about
how the soldiers can defend themselves against terrorists if they have been attacked.....Is that the reason, military placed the soldiers over there ? So, they can be attacked ?
