Turkish army’s drill on Iraqi border [PHOTO]

Fucking good news.....

It was easy to grab Iraqi land while Iraq's military was dealing with Daesh, and Pesh were receiving immense US air support. Let's see how they will fare against PMU one on one.....

This could be a ploy by the US, distract Turkey, Iraq, Iran with KGR and keep IS alive, continue to supply PKK/YPG in order to "fight" IS and eventually a defeated KGR will kneel to PKK/YPG factions obviously with a changed name.

 

[Mr.Department]

distract

But we should be realistic " radical" Kurds dream is a great Kurdistan with connection to the Mediterannean Sea.

Do you know how many soldiers and tanks we lost during Operation Euphrates Shield to irregular infantry?

Official number 67 soldiers dead 600 wounded but we know the numbers are much higher.

My friend, the issue is not because of armour being old or new (Saudis and Emeratis have lost Abrams and Leclercs). It has to do with evolving tactics in the COIN fight. We too lost some tanks early on (upgraded Al-Zarrars and even older T-59s) but those losses were curtailed to "zero" after deploying supporting infantry and ISR assets more optimally as the armour moved for employment. To this day, the Army in Pakistan's tribal areas is using fire support from these tanks very effectively and nothing beats putting a 125mm direct firing round on the opposing side with tanks that are symbiotically attached to the infantry. The same applies to the Sabra tanks with their 120mm rifled guns for Turkey. Turkish Army will become gradually better in that terrain/environment and reduce its armour losses with time. I know for a fact that like the Pakistani Army has tri-partite discussions with ISAF and ANA about IEDs, the same is going on between the Turkish and Pakistani armies.

The six points Abadi and the PMU force are demanding of the PUK are: hand over Kirkuk airport, hand over K-1 military base, hand over all oil fields, hand over all ISIS militants held by the Peshmerga, allow the return of the Iraqi army to all places where they were stationed before ISIS, remove Kirkuk Governor Najmaldin Karim from his position.

Abadi, Hashd demand PUK hand over sites in Kirkuk: Masum delivers message
The PUK are being given a deadline of 2 am Sunday morning to fulfill the six demands.

As we speak,the Peshmerga are sending 6000 more fighters to Kirkuk,i dont think they care about the ultimatum.

You are right. There happened serious tactical mistakes Sir; that the possible reason that the commander of ÖKK was passifized and is "only" commander in a small Turkish Island (Gökceada).

As we speak,the Peshmerga are sending 6000 more fighters to Kirkuk,i dont think they care about the ultimatum.

Sir. Peshmerga = "Those who don't fear death". That's a myth only. If Iraq and Hasd-iShabi don't will use airforce and areal bombing ( measure of force) , The USA will keep silence. You can believe it.

Every demand is made in steps as to appear reasonable, even when the law is fully on your side due to the positive western image of Kurds. Abadi kept quiet about all of this before IS was defeated in the north.

As we speak,the Peshmerga are sending 6000 more fighters to Kirkuk,i dont think they care about the ultimatum.

Which makes them weaker in other area's such as the Nineveh plains, ISF could pull the same trench overrunning walk there. These plans are up to generals who know more about the ground situation, we don't have the detailed info.

ISF is deployed West of Kirkuk city near K1 base, Pesh doesn't have the ability to really stop it

They will try to smear you guys with the same propaganda they used on us the last years and the west is gonna eat it up. Get ready for false reports of the Iraqi army and PMU killing Kurdish civilians and the Western media repeating it 24/7.

So, are you actually going to capture Kirkuk or just the surrounding areas?
