Turkish Peace Operations in Syria (Operation Olive Branch) Updates & Discussions

.
Seen video of T-129 going down, it wasn't hit by MANPAD. Helicopter looked like it lost power and descended in auto-hover, perhaps engine got hit by small arms ?
 
.
Sending a light-attack helicopter to a manpad paradise is stupid and it was obvious something like this would eventually happen.

There was a video circulating on social media in the second week of the operation showing YPG militias shooting on our helicopter from high ground with rifles, even that was lucky for us cause if they had even an RPG they could shoot that down as well.

Good job now those kekos can masturbate for the next 5 years about this.

Unfortunately it was going to happen sooner or later.

Was it operating beyond land elements? Being alone in enemy territory plus flying low is just unnecessarily risky.

Rest In Peace.

Can anyone access TRMilitary. I cant open the main page. It says "Üzgünüz fakat bu mesaj panosu şimdilik kullanılamıyor."

It will happen, we will have losses. There's nothing we can do about it but train and adapt against it. We still use Tanks dispite profiliation of ATGMs. We still use Soldiers on the ground even though there's planes that can fly above.

This incident and the others like it, they will draw up classes in military school study how and why it happened, they will create plans to minimise such incidents from happening. We are learning, we are getting better... Look at the americans greatest military power on earth, yet they've lost dozens of helicopters... RPGs shot Chinooks out of the sky, raid on Bin-Laden they lost one of their stealth helicopters due to an 'Accident'...

You don't win if you don't risk, we're finally understanding this concept.

RIP to both pilots.

We have to throw out NATO textbooks, and create our own methods.

So the t129 was just casuallyflying over enemy controlled villages, with enemies on hills higher than it?

BOTH engines? seems unlikely

light attack helicopters are ideal for this environment. A heavy helicopter would emmit more IR radiation and would be an even easier target for MANPADS. You don't know what you're talking about.
