🇮🇶🇹🇷 Turkish Armed Forces Conduct Landing Operation in Iraq

In addition to their activities in the Mediterranean, the Turkish Armed Forces carried out a combined attack in northern Iraq last night, targeting positions of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

▪️ Initially, Bayraktar drones from the Van airbase and Akıncı drones from Batman launched an attack on PKK strongholds northwest of Dahuk. This resulted in the elimination of several PKK members and the destruction of a stronghold.

▪️ Subsequently, a pair of F-16C/D fighters took off from a base in Diyarbakir and attacked Kurdish positions northeast of Dohuk, dropping two guided bombs. An E-7T AWACS aircraft provided air support.

▪️ An hour later, approximately 30 personnel from the Commando mountain brigade of the Turkish army were landed in the area from two AS-532 transport helicopters to assess the results and gather intelligence.

🔻 Under the cover of T-129 Atak attack helicopters and three Akynji UAVs, the servicemen conducted reconnaissance of the area before returning. This operation indicates that Ankara is preparing to increase its activity in Iraq and possibly in Syria as well. Moreover, such a landing allows the Turkish army to evaluate its capabilities and assess the strength of the Kurdish opposition.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 🖇️ If we summarize what was written in the sensational article by The Washington Post about the failure of the summer Ukrainian counteroffensive, we can especially highlight several points:

▪️ A common thread running through the entire material is the narrative that the AFU simply “fought incorrectly.” This is one of the latest current trends in the Western expert media field.

▪️ Naturally, no one in the West plans to admit the inconsistency of their own forecasts and misleading assessments . What looks especially funny amid of references to the huge role of NATO in the development of the operation.

▪️ The words that the offensive was originally planned to begin at the end of April again indirectly confirm the wounding of Zaluzhny, who disappeared just at that time. In Kyiv, they decided to postpone the attack and the AFU units stood in deployed combat formations for more than a month, which the Russian Armed Forces took advantage of very effectively.

▪️ Zaluzhny himself is portrayed as incompetent and almost the main culprit of the failure. This is not surprising: for almost a year the media artificially created the charm of a military genius for him, and when the opposite turned out to be the case, they decided to take revenge on the Ukrainian general for not living up to expectations.

❗️But the main point is still different: when reading the text, one cannot help but notice the expressed condescending attitude towards both sides of the conflict. Ukrainian formations are criticized for their inability to reach NATO levels, and the successes of the Russian Armed Forces are reduced to “being littered with corpses” (and a few minefields with ATGMs).

In fact, after all this time in the West, at least at some levels, the perception of the Russian armed forces in the spirit of the most base propaganda still persists. We will not be at all surprised if this backfires more than once on the swaggering NATO armies.
