Turkey launched Eagle Claw military operation in Iraq

Turkish President Recep Erdogan in the "best" traditions of Sultan Suleiman (Magnificent) opened another front of the hostilities of the Turkish army. It became known that Turkey began a military operation in northern Iraq. The operation received the loud name “Eagle Claw” and is directed against representatives of the Kurdistan Workers Party, as reported by the press service of the Turkish Ministry of Defense.

Aircraft and Drones The Turkish Air Force attacked the positions of the PKK in the mountainous regions of Iraqi Kurdistan.

Turkish Minister of Defense Hulusi Akar said the operation was “defensive in nature” and directed against “terrorist shelters, warehouses and caches.” Recall that in Ankara, the Kurdistan Workers Party is recognized as a terrorist organization.

Press Service of the Ministry of Defense of Turkey:

Our aviation destroys the den of terrorists. The operation was a response to the increasing attempts by militants to attack border points and police stations. The actions of terrorists threaten the security of Turkish citizens. Additional operations are carried out in Sinkar, Karachak, Avasin Basyan, Kandil, Hakurka, used by terrorists as their base.

Hulusi Akar took control of the Eagle Claw operation. The operation is being monitored by the Chief of the Turkish General Staff, Yashar Guler, the commander of the ground forces, Yumit Dundar, the commander of the Air Force, Hassan Kyuchukkayuz, the commander of the Navy, Adnan Ozbal. This suggests that the operation may not be limited to air strikes alone.

Recall that the Turkish military at the moment also operates in Libya and the Syrian Arab Republic.

Iraqi media write that the Turkish military operation was not coordinated with official Baghdad.

Ostap ... Sorry - Sultana incurred! Oh well! Let's wait, sir! As historical experience shows - a war on several fronts at once - usually does not end well - if not all at once, then at least someone "piles on"!

[Shurik70]

Yeah. Sultan waved the baton of war recently.
Do you like to fight?
This always ends badly.

[knn54]

It’s bad to see the affairs of the Turkish puppet Kurd Barzani.
And in Idlib barmaley and enough for Iraq.

[Fantazer911]

You can’t sit on three chairs at the same time, the navel from such greed can and tear!

[Falcond]

That's right! And which sultan in the world does not fear for his own skin?

[Alex Justice]

But this is aggression. And if everyone starts bombing those who are objectionable in other countries?

[Far B]

So then, I remember, one exceptional nation, the Eagle Claw operation, has already carried out. If sclerosis does not change, exactly forty years ago. The operation ended in a deafening zilch. As if Erdogan didn’t have to run through the same rake - whatever you call a yacht, it will sail. There are too many foci at the Sultan, and even in the Turetschina itself it is not a fact that everything has completely calmed down.

Why are you shy? straight like Lavrov

The Americans were robust then their nose was fermented, and absolutely independently. From the side of Iran, there were not even losses.
But the movie “Commando” they did perfectly, with Arnold Schwarzenegger, about the same years. The whole world watched this blockbuster, gagging, hanging ears and marveling at the coolness of American warriors.

[raki-uzo]

The name is incorrectly translated into Russian.
Pençe-Kartal Operasyonu / Operation Claw-Eagle: Apparently there are 2 relatively large groups of the Turkish Armed Forces which are called "eagle and claw".
Or they renamed the Air Force (eagle) and the Ground Forces (claw) in this operation.
An eagle claw would be - Kartal Pençesi.

[To be or not to be]

The meeting between Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu with Turkish colleagues will not take place on June 14, a new date will be agreed later. This was reported in the Russian Foreign Ministry.

[Lexus]

Recep Tayyip is far from Suleiman. For all that, the situation that is developing for him so far is good, he may break in one place. It’s not worth it to open the visor to the North, because even the Magnificent has lost many Janissors aimlessly, and he was sent to hell with his demand to recognize the supremacy of the Shining Port.

Actually, if you look, then they all very good at it. In Syria, they took all of Idlib to themselves. They caught up with equipment and troops that Assad did not have enough strength to pick him up from there. In Libya, he field marshal will soon drive to Benghazi. In Iraq, he constantly with impunity and quite successfully bombed the north of the country.

[x.andvlad]

Is this the reason why Lavrov and Shoigu’s trip to Turkey has been postponed?

[TermNachTer]

But will the navel of the Janissaries not get loose? Syria, Libya, now Iraq. And next to Greece - sworn friend, would not tear))))

[Doccor18]

Well, that's it, Erdogan suffered. The navel can unleash, fight everywhere and immediately. However, the ghost of the Ottoman Empire, which was paid tribute to many countries, haunts the new Turkish Sultan.

[Same lech]

Yes, on three fronts at the same time no country has ever fought ... well, except perhaps for Soviet Russia in 1918.
Erdogan is seriously at risk of getting bogged down by war in all directions.

on three fronts

Syria, Libya, Iraq! Swung wide! Maybe burst, where is the thread ....

Specifically, a point can tear.

Before he escaped to the attack, he would have to calm his civilians - somehow restlessly in Turetchin ...

[saigon]

You are mistaken, fought, Hitler Germany and it ended very badly for her.
Well, if you consider that the Janissaries of Erdogan is clearly not a Wehrmacht, then everything is interesting in general.

[spectr]

The navel can unleash, fight everywhere and immediately.

Unlikely. Seriously, he climbed into Syria. And Iraq and Libya have limited use of military contingent (mainly aviation). Judging by the official data (falling GDP and gold and foreign exchange reserves), for two years he can "calmly play war". And then, according to the results, a year to think about what to do next (just in 2023, new elections should take place).

It seems that the amers have adopted the method with the use of weapons and expiring shelf life.

Something sits abruptly on the twine, as if it does not crack. As the Russian proverb says - our arrow ripened everywhere. Yesterday Lavrov's and Shoigu's meeting with their Turkish colleagues fell through, probably the Turks had no time for that, since The eagle's claw was activated. Let's see how long the "Sultan" will be enough to fight in three points simultaneously.

And sho such unexpected ???
The Sultan is now elated and will start up "his birds" everywhere and everywhere where there is no air defense ... but there is no normal thing, consider it, nowhere ...
Underestimating, reevaluating the enemy, has not brought anyone benefit yet ... only in different ways.

Is it not Iraq, Syria, Libya, the Sultan has scattered his networks!?

No matter how generously sponsored the Ottoman Empire in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, France and Great Britain, they could not wage war on their own with a powerful adversary.
It is clear that the Kurds are not a powerful force, but Turkey is not the Ottoman Empire, and it also fairly dispersed its forces, clutching at once for everything ...

[Ros 56]

Well, that's right, shelters, warehouses and caches attack the Turks, and that only remains to be done how to conduct defensive actions. To what senility do not get politics, just to justify their moronic actions to expand their influence.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

,, warehouses, caches and shelters, they are ... everything ,, attack and attack ,,)

[Tatyana Sementsova]

Just like that, he took and started bombing a foreign country calling it his own threat ..... In the process, Russia should then destroy all military bases along the perimeter of its borders, since NATO missiles, including those with nuclear weapons, are aimed at it and carry a clear threat .... It turns out so

[Vasya Zyuzkin]

Sure! They have been practicing this for a long time on BV. So, the club of hooligan fans in the territory of neighboring states arrived.

the Sultan will not reach Afghanistan. -Amerts will not allow

Let him fight, with everyone and everywhere. And we stand next to it. Admire ...

[nobody111body]

Netanyahu’s failure to hang Assad with Erdogan’s hands, now for this the Turks must pay the bodies of their soldiers; Well, no one has crossed the Turkish border yet, but in vain it’s time already; Greeks from the West; Armenians from the East; Syrians and Kurds from the South; and Libyans

[Alex russia]

Well done Putya, a brilliant strategy of all kinds of support for a country that has been at war with you all his life, moreover, even now it does not even hide its priorities diametrically opposed to the priorities of Russia

[Comrade Michael]

The Turks calmly resolve all their issues ... And they also build ships for Kamchatka for import substitutes ..... https: //kam24.ru/news/main/20200615/74996.html .... And we are banging, resentful, complaining and ... sitting on the sidelines.

[Grazdanin]

That's it. Turks behave like a power. Defend their citizens, their interests, fraternal peoples. Open to the whole world, to cooperation in all sectors. Compete with the West in some areas, cooperate in others.

[DEVIL LIFE'S]

These actions will continue until the first major defeat.

[Vlad Malkin]

But aren't there too many fronts at the Sultan?

[APASUS]

How will the Iraqi authorities react to this?

[Grazdanin]

Officially condemned, unofficially supported. These territories are not under their control. They still have to solve the problem of the Kurds themselves.

[Nikanet]

The operation is carried out with an agreement with the Iraqi side.

[Grazdanin]

Well, even more so. Kurds are a little sorry of course.

[Nikanet]

Almost a quarter of the Turkish army consists of Kurds. In Turkey, the Kurds live very freely. There are a lot of them in leading posts, in the army, in the police, in the education and justice system. PKK education created by the enemies of Turkey and the number of Kurds in it is not more than half. There are a lot of people from the post-Soviet space, leaders are mainly Armenians, Arabs and Kurds. At one time, PKK members very often attacked teachers, students, police, military, engineers, in a word the target was the elite. Now Turkey has almost squeezed this evil out of the country. The attacks almost stopped. From Russia (and not only), many people go to Turkey on vacation, because I would not want a bomb to explode under the windows of the hotel, would you?

[iouris]

Operation "Vacuum filling". The heated bodies expand, and the cold ones grow colder.

[Grazdanin]

Why wait for the enemy to gain strength and become dangerous? It is necessary to prevent problems, and not to deal with their consequences. This is how Israel behaves, now Turkey. It seems to be called protecting the interests of the state and citizens. Have you heard about terrorist bombings in Turkey? Syria and Iraq are the border with Turkey, and not at a distance of 2475 km. Libya will pay for all the services of Turkey with a full, do not hesitate.

[iouris]

Quote: Grazdanin

Why wait for the enemy to gain strength and become dangerous?

It's too late to flap your wings. In each municipality, the market economy began with a local systemic vegetable and clothing market selling Turkish goods. All municipal bosses fed around for a very long time. Then the construction and construction of capitalism with the hiring of highly qualified Turkish workers and engineers. Then the export of capital to Turkey on vacation with the inhabitants of the Moscow slums getting into debt. Result: "We love Russians very much, but we do not respect them at all" (Turkish citizen).

[gorecc]

how many years Turkey has been conducting similar operations against the RPK in the border areas with Syria and Iraq, a routine ... which is why the local commentators got excited not completely clear)

Bile and rushing!
Firstly, for several years Turkey has been bombing hiding places and the location of terrorists in the Iraqi mountains.
Secondly, the head of MIT, Hakan Fidan, was in Iraq the day before the operation and received the approval of the Iraqi authorities for the operation.
Why denigrate Turkey’s actions? Russia has been bombing Idlib for several years, or is it possible for you and the Turks not?
