Kurds: Turkish Armed Forces lose more than 200 troops and allies under Afrin

The General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces announced the interim results of operations in the north of Syria. We are talking about the operation "Olive Branch", which the Turkish troops lead against the Kurdish armed detachments in the region of Afrin (Aleppo Province). The report says that during the first days of the operation, the Turkish military eliminated the 394 militant.

By militants, the Turkish military command understands the representatives of the Kurdish armed forces of the YPG, which are actually supported by the United States. It is also stated that among the liquidated by the Turkish army are ISIS terrorists (* prohibited in the Russian Federation).

From the statement of the press service of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Turkey:

The 394 member of the PKK (the militarized wing of the Kurdistan Workers' Party) and the so-called Islamic State (*) are eliminated. The Turkish Air Force destroyed 340 targets of terrorists in northwestern Syria. On the part of the Turkish army, the losses are as follows: three dead, 30 injured. The Syrian Free Army (SSA) lost 13 people killed and 24 wounded.

The Turkish press cites the following interpretations of the operation (interpretation Anadolu):
The Assad troops in 2012 passed Afrin to terrorists practically without a fight, which led to the creation in this city of a center of terrorist activity in the north of the SAR.

The pro-Turkish forces of the SSA in the region of Afrin:

Kurdish information sources call the operation in Afrin "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide of the Kurdish population of Syria." In this case, it is reported that Ankara hides data on real losses. For example, the leadership of the VTS (Syrian Democratic Union) reports that 203 Turkish troops and a representative of the allied forces of Turkey were killed in the Afrin area (talking about the SSA detachments). It is reported that tonight Kurdish troops counterattacked the positions of the Turkish Armed Forces and occupied the village of Chakalya. The Kurdish command calls for the creation of a partisan movement in the territories occupied by the Turkish army.

Yes, the more the merrier. And how many friends of the USA _kurdy lost?

Turkey, a NATO country, is fighting against the Kurds supported by another NATO country, the United States. The East is a delicate matter, however

[ul_vitalii]

Smaller aircraft, more ground operations, night battles are welcome. Successes.

[Giant thought]

Russia in this case acts according to Chinese philosophy, according to which the monkey watches the battle of the tiger and the dragon, in order to subsequently have its bonuses, so that it would always solve problems without losing its warriors.

Turks: 394 gunmen eliminated
Kurds: Turkish Armed Forces lose over 200

I believe that all winning stories should be divided by ten.
A total of 40 Kurds died, 20 Turks.

[Safevi]

Yeah. Why not 2000 or 200 000? Surely the Kurds have their own counting methodology. Unlike others, the Turks are proud of their martyrs, the whole city participates in the funeral! Such an amount is impossible to hide, and there is nothing to it. On the contrary, this will lead to the unity of the nation. In part of the desa, the Kurds even surpassed the Armenians, I look

[garnik]

Listen do not touch the Armenians. Here is something written about the Armenians.
read, these are only the dead soldiers of the so-called sun. Azerbaijan, not counting about 200 thugs provided by the Turks to you.

Calm yourself further. April was just a kick!

[Yujanin.]

In part of the desa, the Kurds even outdid the Armenians.

Nope, the Armenians have an honorable first place. Not even subject to discussion. gavrik above has already confirmed this.

By the way, the Turks also did not provide any evidence of large losses of the Kurds.

So the main approach, report, departure ... but how is it that who actually checks it.

Better Turks, you can agree with them, it is useless with the Anglo-Saxons. They do this in advance, so that later, to break the agreement.

Try to look into the “standings”, estimating our benefits in case of a particular outcome. Suppose, when the “stable” with the “cattle base” is being chopped up in the Chechen Republic, I always wonder what the native ZENIT will have from this ... Although, in all conscience, CSKA is nevertheless closer (there are a lot of common themes).

[Herculesic]

Interestingly, and the Turks, in fact, at least one Igilovtsa or Nusrovtsa for all time was killed at all? And then they found on whom evil from the loss of free oil to tear!

[KVU-NSVD]

The normal rhetoric of the conflict since the Stone Age is to exaggerate the losses of the enemy by an order of magnitude and underestimate their own. other numbers are interesting:

394 members of PKK (the militarized wing of the Kurdistan Workers Party) and the so-called Islamic State (*) were eliminated. The Turkish Air Force destroyed 340 terrorist targets in northwestern Syria.

Those. for each target for aviation, about one action movie is of course cool and effective It cannot but arouse respect and the fact of such an accurate general calculation of enemy losses

[Vard]

The Kurds have an advantage in mentality and knowledge of the terrain ... The Turks have an advantage in heavy weapons ... We will see ... one pleases our not there ...

[KVU-NSVD]

and the weapons of the Kurds are higher than the roof, and military literacy. No wonder the Turks Afrin still have not taken - the Sultan is so spit on civilians

[Vard]

It’s all so ... but there are no tanks and planes ... and this can play a decisive role ... And the Turks are trying to use the Kurds against the military in which someone died in the attacks and there are quite a few ...

[KVU-NSVD]

Yes, most likely there was still a condition for Erdogan - without genocide and carpet bombing. While it seems to hold and comply

[APASUS]

An interesting beginning of the conflict, in fact, Turkey decided to start the operation "Olive Branch" after the Turks visited senior Pentagon officials. So guess about the ultimate goal of this maneuver of the Americans

[cniza]

The fact of the matter is that nothing is clear and what goals are being pursued.

One of the goals is already clear, because achieved - blame Russia. Russia was accused of strictly following the timetable - it is guilty of betrayal of the Kurds. So here - no more, no less.

[Baloo]

Quote: cniza

The fact of the matter is that nothing is clear and what goals are being pursued.

I venture to suggest:
- the liberation of the territory from the population, so as not to interfere with the search for oil and Qatari-Saudi pipelines to Europe to pull through Turkey;
- the neocolonial redivision of the territory and the destruction of Syria as a sovereign state.

[shura7782]

Kurds will be used everywhere by the interested party (USA), depending on the situation and at its discretion.

[Bgfen]

It could be a great success of Russian diplomacy and Russian special services in a clash between Turkey and the United States in Syria. This is a big blow to NATO, which was no less costly as a blow to Russia through Ukraine. It is nullified. But the east is a delicate matter. And the success of American services is also possible. Turkey is directly involved in the Syrian conflict. Now the Kurds are asking for help from Assad and the Russians. They are asking for help but not hoping, and their screech is only to show the world that Assad has lost sovereignty over Kurdish territories and over Kurdish Syrian citizens. Assad’s sovereignty will be issued not only in Afrin, but also in other Kurdish territories. As Putin said, in order to qualify for sovereignty over a certain territory, one must have the ability to protect it. And Assad did not show the possibility of protecting sovereignty. In Afghanistan, Turks or Kurds do not matter, Assad is there there will not be, and each of the two warring countries will have a foundation — I have defended the right over this territory with the blood of my soldiers. But the east is a delicate matter.

[BARKHAN]

Quote: BGfen

The refusal to recognize asad sovereignty will be framed not only in Afrin, but also in other Kurdish territories. As Putin said, in order to pretend to be sovereignty over a certain territory, one must have the opportunity to protect it. And Assad did not show the possibility of protecting sovereignty. In Afrika, Turks or Kurds do not matter, Assad will not be there, and each of the two warring countries will have a foundation — I have defended the right over this territory with the blood of my soldiers. But the east is a delicate matter.

The fact of the matter is that we do not know the backstage arrangements.
What did you agree with Erdogan? It is possible that he will uncover all Kurdish combat-ready formations and come out. And Assad will be easier to "restore integrity" ... But the fact that the Kurds fired with the brain is for sure, karma, however, for stupidity ...

Do you want to help the Turks or vice versa the Kurds? There now, on a sober head, you can figure it out.
Some 6-7 months ago, someone was expecting such discounts. We used to get info that the Turks put their tanks as a target, so that the barmalei would practice shooting at a fixed target .. The Kurds were in a hurry to free more territory, but they would start right away.
