Whom did President Trump save in northeast Syria
Especially valuable soldiers
US President Donald Trump has warned Turkish President Erdogan of the consequences. They will occur in the event that the American military in Syria suffers. Moreover, the cars promised by Trump look quite serious. In fact, the American president echoed the warning of Russian President Vladimir Putin about the escalation of the war in the Donbass.
Moreover, Trump called the number of Americans in the specified area. This statement triggered a series of materials in the American and European press, in which journalists directly say that there are some special soldiers operating in northeastern Syria. More precisely, especially valuable. The statement about 50 fighters from the head of one of the strongest countries in the world with such threats really looks remarkable.
By the way, in confirmation of Turkey’s intentions, there is the fact that, on the aggravation of the situation in northeast Syria on October 8, Russian President Vladimir Putin convened a special meeting of the Security Council of Russia. Russia understands that the Turks decided to seriously pat the Kurds. We did not make statements, but the very fact of holding the Security Council is already such.
Indeed, there is logic in these statements. Especially after voicing the total number of units - 50 people. It is clear that the level of the US president is not very consistent with the usual reinforced platoon of ground units. Even military advisers, whose presence in Kurdish units no one denies, are not worth the statements at that level. And the Americans, judging by the intelligence of the ATS, have already successfully removed from the zone of exacerbation. The Turks did not take any action that would be able to prevent the evacuation.
Hence, the words "special forces", "elite", "super-soldiers", etc., sound more and more often. Given the specifics of American special forces, we must assume that we are talking about the legendary Delta. Those who are now called ACE (Arm Compartmented Elements). This unit, which has overgrown with legends no less than the Soviet GRU special forces or the British SAS. The cost of such a soldier is truly prohibitive. Alas, the patriotism of Americans is often measured precisely by the sum of costs in dollars ...
I wrote about the Delta several times. Therefore, I will not repeat myself. Those who are interested in this topic read the materials on "VO". Today it’s worth answering the question: did Delta really work in Kurdish units? Or is it another legend, which will then be told in a whisper, as especially secret information? Secrecy and the ability to destroy everyone and everything are necessary components of the existence of such units. The enemy should be afraid of the very possibility of meeting such fighters.
Indirect Confirmations
To begin with, indirectly, such a statement is confirmed by the fact that the group evacuated quickly enough, while the Kurds got a few Humves. Not repulsed in battle, but simply abandoned by the Americans. Why? Alas, the ability to understand the structure of cars, be it cars, armored vehicles or any other means of transportation, is not a Delta skate.
The American will drive any car without a key and drive where it is needed, but exactly until the moment the engine suddenly stalls. What is under the hood is a dark forest for an American commando. They do not teach them such wisdom. This is the misfortune of the American army in general. Everyone does his own thing. The soldier is fighting, and other specialists are repairing the equipment. So, in the places of deployment of this unit there were simply no necessary specialists!
The following nuance is associated with the specifics of the unit. The Delta is geared towards solving military tasks. Simply put, guys can seriously make noise behind enemy lines, destroy an object, seize a headquarters, or recapture prisoners. However, Delta cannot work as an anti-terrorist unit, or even less as a unit covering some important object. Not trained.
And in the war that the Kurds are waging today, it is precisely the well-trained DRGs that are needed. So, this work, including the training of local personnel, Delta will do great. Like ownership training weapons. Diversion and work on specific objects for Americans is the norm. In this regard, Delta is a fairly stubborn unit and is able to penetrate even a well-guarded facility. Everything that concerns attack, these soldiers are able. And they know how well.
By the way, the soldiers of this special forces are really good at the weapons that the group and the likely enemy are armed with. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a gun, an automatic machine, a machine gun or a grenade launcher. On the one hand, it’s fine, but on the other hand, the lack of specialization is fraught with the absence of “gods”. Those who can do "miracles" with their weapons. To complete the tasks under which specialists are imprisoned, this is quite enough.
Farther. There are still indirect signs of the work of Delta. Remember the famous conversation between Stirlitz and the general on the train from “Seventeen Moments of Spring”? I’ll give the general’s monologue in full:
The Americans are well equipped technically and practically do not carry out operations without the use of various technical means. And we are talking not only about the technical means of the group like drones and other robots- scouts. Each Delta fighter is a well-equipped combat unit. However, without technical support, they are often lost. The Kurds, in carrying out some operations, clearly used precisely the tactics of the Americans. Which is not typical for their specialists. Like a saddle on a cow.
Turks will beat Kurds
In general, speaking of who was in the instructors and commanders of the Kurds, by indirect signs, we can agree with the opinion of foreign experts. It is very likely that Trump was saving his elite fighters. By the way, according to some experts who have studied the training plans for the Delta fighters, they are not trained to work on the defensive in the conditions of combined arms combat. Yes, and airstrikes, missile strikes, which Turkey will probably inflict, often kill, regardless of the training of a fighter. Probability theory…
This, again indirectly, can explain the warning that came from the lips of the American president. Businessman Trump, having looked at the costs of training one Delta fighter, decided to slightly raise the veil of secrecy about the work of his specialists and save expensive fighters. In any case, the withdrawal of the Americans from the position of the Kurds freed the Turks hands. They will beat the Kurds in an adult way ...
