Turkish media: Kurds use "Russian" ATGM "Competition" against Turkey
Earlier, the General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces issued a report on the destruction of 49 representatives of the PKK in the north of Iraq - as a result of a series of air strikes inflicted by Turkish military aircraft.
At the same time, Turkish media claim that Turkish provinces from the Syrian Afrin are being attacked using anti-tank systems. Informational portal Anadolu writes that Kurdish troops used anti-tank systems 9K113 "Competition" against Turkey. It is noted that as a result of the use of the "Russian" "Competition" no one was hurt. The Turkish media article used just such a term - the “Russian” ATGM.
At the same time, "Anadolu" does not inform readers that the ATCM "Competition" (the production of which began almost half a century ago) were (are) in service with dozens of countries, including Georgia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Morocco, Libya, Poland, Ukraine, etc. the ATGM were in service with the SAR army - including, being in the warehouses of the CAA, taken under their control in the north of the country, Kurdish armed formations. Moreover, the “Competition” ATGM marking is 9K111-1, and the missiles for it are 9М113. As you can see, the Turkish media decided to "mix" the labeling.
Important: this weapon was produced with ammunition not only in the USSR, but also in Iran, Germany (GDR) and India.
