Today, official Baghdad circulated a report that the country's air forces conducted aerial reconnaissance and determined the exact coordinates of the concentration sites of Turkish military personnel. The official representative of the main military department of Iraq quoted news agency Sputnik:

Military aircraft yesterday conducted reconnaissance flights over the military base where Turkish troops are located, noting the coordinates of the deployment of troops and their number, as well as the number of tanks and weapons.

    Iraq cannot do anything.
    Remember the creation of the Turkish Republic in Cyprus, when Turkey practically occupied a part of the territory. Nobody can still do anything with them. Erdogan is obsessed with the idea of ​​rebuilding the Ottoman Empire and is beginning to slowly squeeze out the territories of neighboring Syria and Iraq. Given that Turkey is the largest member of NATO, Iraq will swallow it, because it is beneficial for NATO to have Turkey in its membership.

        And then they will get an answer. And it’s good if NATO does not intervene.
        Iraq is already spreading apart and the government barely has the strength to ensure that everything does not fall into the abyss. And having captured Turkey as an open enemy, Iraqis would have absolutely no strength ...

              I remember such patriots as you with foam at the mouth demanded the entry of Russian troops into Ukraine. There is a time when guns say, there is a time for diplomacy. Turn on the brain. What would Iraq get by attacking Turkey? A war with NATO, in which Russia would join on the side of Iraq. Give you the Third World? We must take into account the entire balance of power and further consequences. Therefore, they cannot defeat the President of Russia, because he thinks on 10 moves forward, and the USA only on 2. It has long been won the war not on the battlefield, but in diplomatic seats. You can defeat on the battlefield, but surrender everything that was conquered and watered with the blood of soldiers. In the history of such cases is enough.

                      That is the point. Therefore, the troops did not enter. Why, the time will come, the West will do everything the way Russia needs. They just won't have a choice.

            That's just the question is about Iraq, and not about Russia. And certainly NATO will not refuse to carry out a demonstrative flogging of Iraq if it all the same goes to the conflict. Purely in order to show the world that NATO is defending its own. Moreover, some kind of stability in Iraq is supported, in many respects, precisely by the forces of NATO and their material support. Once this help is removed, the situation in the country will quickly go to waste.

        Iraq alone will not even try to confront Turkey. The time for the withdrawal of Turkish troops, which Iraq gave, is already over. We see the result. The Turks absolutely do not care. The Turks are confident that if something happens, NATO will come to the rescue. But if we look at Iraq, then they cannot enlist such support from other countries.

        Well, what are you talking about ... Compare the army of Turkey and Iraq! The Turkish army is the second in NATO in terms of numbers, after the United States. She has a good weapon.
        Yes, they only need something to "arrive", there will be a reason to accuse Iraq of the attack and start a full-scale invasion and war, the result of which is predictable - the annexation of territories that the Turks need.

    the Turks themselves are rare pussies. I am sure that the states are behind them, because they would have crap 100 times our aircraft to shoot down and still occupy Iraqi territory. And since The UN Security Council consists mainly of the last prostitutes who remained silent, which means that "someone" is squeezing their balls very hard in a fist.
    But on the other hand, if the Turks are destroyed in Iraq, then the 5th NATO amendment will not be violated, because there was no attack on Turkey, but only a defense against Turkey! I think it will. Shuffle a couple of calibers and then use the aircraft and turntables to finish. There is essentially nothing to finish. a couple of dozen old trash MBT Yankees and 1000 beard Janissaries.

        Iraq almost no longer exists. It is so ... a miserable semblance of past greatness. there’s nothing to fight for.
        Our calibers, turntables and LA - Iraq. It seems like they bought equipment from us and from the states. Something must be there.

          I understand that the Turks and the Americans are in the same harness. Hence the question, but doesn’t it seem strange to you that Iraq was going to contact us right away, why didn’t they complain to the Americans? For me, this is a feint for Iraqi ears. The goal is to drag us into Iraq as well.

            and the meaning of knocking on a door that is probably closed?
            Iraq understands this. Moreover, this does not officially channel, there is a UN Security Council for this. At an unofficial level, I’m sure the contacts were with the Yankees. Now the news has appeared that they want to withdraw from the security agreement with the states ...
            Moreover, Iraq did not immediately intend to contact us. And until then he did not apply.
            In addition, who else should I contact? There are 2 forces in the region, the first - the Yankees with their own 6, the second - we are in splendid isolation. request

    The country's air force conducted aerial reconnaissance and established the exact coordinates of the places of concentration of Turkish troops


    And then what?

    The data of such reconnaissance is valuable for a short time and over time their value tends to zero ... the enemy will not change his location and will again need additional reconnaissance ....

    Here it is worth considering a whole bunch of small nuances.
    1. Will Iraq be able to defeat the Turkish troops? Yes, easy. The central government will promise the Iraqi autonomy to the Kurds, voila, they have well-trained and well-organized infantry. I think to tickle the aphedron of "friend Erdogan" from somewhere and equipment will appear. Abkhazia, for example, will sell.
    2. Is NATO intervention possible under 5 Article of the Charter? Unlikely. Firstly, Turkish troops are on foreign territory. Secondly, none of the Iraqi official authorities recognized by the same West called them there. That is, this is an invasion. NATO will not subscribe.
    3: As the previous speaker rightly remarked, the Turks recognized the Barzani government. And who else? And no one, therefore, for the whole world, the Turks support the separatists who violate territorial integrity. Not like Russia in the Donbass - by humcon convoys, but by its troops. There is nothing to cover the West.
    4. We conclude - soon its owners will merge Erdogan.
    Threat. Sorry for the mnogabukaf. And for me, it’s a mystery: how did the Kurds cooperate with their eternal enemy? Or, like everywhere else, does a fish rot from its head?

      Here it is worth considering a whole bunch of small nuances.


      Yah wink

      1. The Kurdish Peshmerga Barzani, trained and equipped by the USA and Germany, feels great with the Turks and everything is charming with them, the flows of fuel trucks go where necessary
      2. Why Turks NATO intervention? The Turkish army is head and shoulders higher both morally and in equipping the Iraqi army - there are no problems there, unless Iran fits in, the government in Baghdad is dependent on the United States there
      3. Yes to the West do not care when they need they close their eyes
      4. not a fact, and a lot of helpers and patrons in the person of Qatar and Saudi Arabia

      reference

      The Turkish Air Force, according to rough data, has about 40 Canadian-made NF-5E Tiger multi-role fighters, 237 F-16C / F-16D Falcon (some of the fighters were produced under license in Turkey itself by Turkish Aerospace Industries "); the fleet of training aircraft is represented by 68 T-38M and 24 T-41D aircraft. The military transport aviation is armed with 18 C.160 Transall aircraft of Franco-German production, 13 С-130В / С-130Е Hercules, 61 Tusas CN-235M (Spanish aircraft from CASA was also produced in Turkey under license), two newest "transport aircraft" A400M. In addition, three E-737-700 long-range radar detection aircraft (AWACS) entered service with the Turkish Air Force. The helicopter units include 106 UH-1N Iroquois multipurpose vehicles, 98 S-70 Black Hawk amphibious assault vehicles, 49 AB-204/206 reconnaissance helicopters, 44 AN-1F / AN-1W Super Cobra attack helicopters, 89 French-made AS.532AL machines, 18 Mi-17 multipurpose helicopters (used in the gendarmerie), Turkish-assembled T-129B helicopters

    I agree that the "authorities" of Iraq will not do anything and will confine themselves to only empty statements and the same requests. The Iraqi government controls only certain areas in Baghdad. Those who govern Iraq do not really care what the leader of some districts of Baghdad.
    Nobody will bomb the Turkish units for a number of reasons, one of which is that the Iraqi F-16s cannot take off without the permission of the American side, much less bombing someone (there is such a point in conditions for the supply of aircraft from America to Iraq).
    And to ask the Russian Aerospace Forces to strike at Turkish units in Iraq, then I’m sorry, I’m not fools.
    How will this end? Nothing, they’ll just let everyone down on the brakes.

    She can do what is pleasing and with whom it is pleasing. She wants to, will shoot down our planes, if the USA permits, she will take a piece of Iraq, Syria or some other Libya.
    And we will swallow it all, kneeling.

    Baghdad seems to be of little interest to the United States:
    "In Iraq and Syria, ground forces may be introduced under the auspices of the United States.
    We are talking about a 100-strong contingent. But, apparently, Washington is going to fight the "Islamic State" by proxy - 90 thousand soldiers and officers will be transferred from the Arab states, primarily from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Jordan. The head of the Iraqi government, this initiative, according to the source, caused bewilderment. however, McCain allegedly stated that everything had already been decided in Washington."
    In the light of this decision, the introduction of the occupying Turkish forces seems consistent.
