Turkish tanks on military exercise near Syrian border


Turkey's army staged tank exercises near the Syrian border today, media reports said, in a move highlighting Ankara's unease about security on the frontier as the conflict widens on the other side of its southern border.

The exercises were held after a series of Turkish military deployments to the area prompted by the spiraling violence in the 17-month uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The reports could not immediately be confirmed.

Some 25 tanks from the Mardin 70th Mechanised Brigade took part in the exercises, which were overseen by commanders in the Nusaybin district of Mardin province, just 2 km from the Syrian border, Doğan News Agency (DHA) said.

The Syrian city of Qamishli is immediately across the border from Nusaybin. Ankara is concerned about reports that a Kurdish group linked to militants of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) is exerting control in Kurdish areas of northern Syria.

The PKK is recognized as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.

This is war. Not a beauty contest. Turkey has to have the last word on the battle field, not look fancy and cool and then loose.

I think Turkish army needs both expensive and inexpensive units.

Yes that is quite true and that can practically be seen in Today's world and was also evident in the past decades. In most of the cases whoever had the air-superiority had won the war...
