The Turkish military will use heavy weapons against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in the northwestern Syrian region of Greater Idlib if necessary, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters on October 21.
“Operations are going on in very sensitive locations in our region. We will not back down. We continue the process in Syria,” Sputnik quoted Erdogan as saying. “I do now know what steps the Syrian regime will take but we will do whatever is needed in Idlib, we will respond with all our heavy weapons. We will not leave the situation as it is.”
In the last few weeks, the Turkish military deployed large reinforcements and established two new positions in Greater Idlib, where a ceasefire brokered last year is being violated by Ankara’s allies on a daily basis.
Erdogan’s threats are clearly meant to deter the SAA and its allies, who are preparing to launch a ground operation in Greater Idlib, according to recent reports.
At the same time, Turkey is reportedly preparing to launch a military operation against Kurdish forces in northern Syria, mainly in the northern countryside of Aleppo. The SAA is present in the region.
A military confrontation between the Turkish military and the SAA in Greater Idlib, or the northern Aleppo countryside seems close.
Russia has been working to de-escalate the situation. Nevertheless, Turkey is not backing down. In fact, Ankara appears to be seeking a new military confrontation in Syria, likely to distract the Turkish people from the bad economic situation.
As crazy as it may sound, Turkey really sees the SDF/PKK as a threat; and they think Damascus supports them. As I said, it looks very possible for Turkey to go against the SDF and keep the SAA at bay at the same time. Especially since Hezbollah may not be ready in numbers. It remains unclear what Ankara’s long-term goals are exactly. Domestic trouble will, however, likely force them to consider “soft-power” approaches again soon, as inflation hits home and the current mainly hard-power approach will become less and less economically sustainable.
For the World and Mankind it would be better they get extincted. Where an UNG^HUMAN GENOCIDAL is, troubles are. MERDolfgan then is the very sultan for similar beasts
Turkey has many allies but many enemies also.
Turkay doesn’t have Nothing.
They have me, you know. To start with.
That Chris Gr is not me.
Ahahahahahahaha.
Are you Icarus?
Again this is not me.
No, it is not me, not you, moron. Stop, okay juat,stop using my proper name.
erdoswine is a born degenerate. Heavy weapons? How about the Iskander missile system at Mach 5+ with tactical nuclear warhead.
As the idiot georgians found out under sakofshitsvili, one Iskander was able to wipe out dozens of tanks, BMPs and assorted armoured hardware.
No chance for AD intercept. The turks will do about as well.
<it depends on who the Russians will betray this time. I hope they will do like you say and weep the genocidals away
Hmmmm.. ZioErdogan knows well that Turkish positions in Idlid are easy targets for SAA. But Kurds are in trouble thanks to USA. USA promised them Kurdistan, but USA, West and Israel are using them to implement their dirty plan to destroy/ split all countries around Zionistan. Afganistan can be a warning to all stupid brainwashed Muslims to stop killing each other for what… Please, be united and fight the real enemy
The tactic is the same everywhere. Muslim again Muslim, Slavic people against their own, Asians against Asians etc.
This is the american, anglo, zionist tactic. The satanic swine attempt to “divide and conquer”. Very transparent, to those paying attention.
Thank you
Yes but these peoples fight each other for many years. US just exploits the situation.
Looks who’s talking.
You need to feel another Hellenic Imperium!
Icarus, this is my last warning, stop pretending to be me, already.
USA wants every state like this even their allies. Egypt and Iraq are supposedly allies of the US but they won’t have any problem in dismantling them.

Yes, that’s right. They do all that vampire feast with Wahhabis all over the Muslim countries. They drink blood of Muslim kids. And they say “we’re true muslims, all of you [true] Muslims are not true.
We know what their aims are,to take over Idlib,its not Rocket science.
I hope the SAA have TOS-1s,if not its time Russia armed them with some,see how those Turds handle thermobaric Hell.

You seem to have so much confidence on these Russian thermobaric weapons. These are impressive, but they won’t last long with TB2 patrolling the battlefield. advanced drones have already proven Russian air defense systems obsolete. Your thermobaric weapons will be without air cover. Turkey can unleash 100 TB2 drones in 24 hours. Imagine how many of these Russian launchers will perish in a day.
There are more than enough drones to handle all the thermobaric weapons Russia can ship to Syria. And we are just talking about the Turkish drone force alone.
Pitched against first-class drones, ALL ground based war machines are highly vulnerable. These things wont last two days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGYLgQk5xDo&t=10s&ab_channel=MilitaryUpdate and there’ll be hell to pay for using them.
From the video, these can be easily spotted by TB2 drones from several kilometers away. The machines appear slow during reload. Thus, they won’t have a chance in hell to fire for the second time. Besides, Turkey is watching every move of the SAA and the Turkish military will know at once where these machines are deployed. The sky in those areas will be infested by Turkish drones. There’s an answer for your thermobaric weapons. And that answer is the TB2 drone. Cheap, effective, survives hostile environment.
stop watching a haber dude, people are literally scavenging near trashcans all over that shitty country you call
TURKIYE.Why would they be without air cover?the Russia airforce is there.
The last time the Russian airforce went to sudden sleep when Turdogan’s drones attacked the SAA – surely you remember?
I remember the payback.
Well that’s selective memory.
So is the Turkish airforce. The russian airforce will have more than enough trouble battling the Turkish air force. They won’t be able to handle both drones and fighter planes due to the complexity of spotting and neutralizing drones, and due to the high number Turkey can bring to the field. Who tells you the Syrian airfiled would be left intact?
You don’t seem to realize how INTEGRATED the Turkish military is today. All drones can designate targets and transfer real-life footages of your S-400 and other weapons. Some of the drones, like the Akinci, have radars that also detect planes. This gives the Turkish fighter pilots an advantage over both enemy planes and air defense systems. For example, a TB2 drone can detect an S-400 battery and transmit both location and footage to Turkish F16 planes. There’s a special air to ground missile specifically designed to take out the S-400. These missiles can be carried by the F16. Thus, a pilot knows the location of an S-400 battery before he even gets within range of the Russian radars. this eliminates the possibilities of surprise for the pilot and he approaches with caution before firing his missile at the S-400.
Similarly, a pilot would know where an plane is once the Ankinci’s radar detects that plane. This gives the pilot an advantage over his opponent.
What Turkey should develop now is a VTOL drone that can take off from anywhere without needing a tarred road. It should be able to take off and land just like a helicopter. This would eliminate the vulnerability of airfields – not that the Bayraktar or Akinci drones need any specialized airfields similar to that of airplanes. Turkish drones can take off and land on any tarred road and you can’t bomb every inch of the tarred roads in Turkey to prevent the drones from taking off. On the other hand, Russian planes in Syria need specialized airfields to take off and land. These airfields are their biggest weakness.
There’s already remarkable success towards VTOL drones, because Turkey is already tasting advanced prototypes of these VTOL drones. Once perfected, they’ll be even deadlier than the Bayraktar TB2. Again, Turkey is working on drones that can EFFECTIVE confront advanced fighter jets like the F35 and Su-57. Once these are perfected, the era of manned aircrafts is over for good. And imagine that these drones gain a VTOL capability. It’d be pure suicide for the Russian airforce to confront such advanced drone force. A drone force that is interconnected and share battlefield intelligence in a fast-paced real-life fashion. Turkey is already more than half way towards achieving such a drone force. There’ll be great surprises in the next three years.
Good luck, the russians can see your pubes if they want to . They have birds in the sky remember? They can see your drones as soon as they start.
I hope the SAA bring in TOS 1s,can the Turks handle this thermobaric hell.
https://youtu.be/xGYLgQk5xDo?t=10
What is the range of these thermobaric weapons? Can they even have the chance to get within firing range of Turkish troops?
These reloading machines are bigger than the Armenia tanks that perished in large numbers against drones. the launchers are large enough for drones to spot from far. TB2 drones will attack these machines while simultaneously designating others for Turkish precision missile fire.
If you don’t have an answer for the drones, NO conventional ground machine you pitch against the Turkish forces in Idlib will survive more than a few days.
TOS 1 Will obliterante everything, poor Turk conscripts they will die in numbers.
None of you know what your talking about. A total throw down between Turkey and SAA would be a disaster for both sides.
Russia needs to stay out of the bight of the line.
The world is replete with lines of control where hostilities have not been conclusively resolved through a clear military victory, but violence has ceased for the time being.
Although such “muddle through” results are discordant to dogmatic thinkers on each side, who hate gray areas and want bright lines, a truce along a new LC is always preferable to the bloodshed and destruction that is the alternative. This is the main lesson of the Cold War.
So let a new line of control continue. M-4, M-5.
The sticky wicket is Aleppo. Turkey has its advances secured everywhere else. That’s why the present focus of hostilities is in the north, not Idlib.
Be that as it may, all of you who cheer for a blood bath, and the use of horrible weapons, such as thermobaric devices, should be ashamed of yourself. It’s not your “boy” who will be roasted. And Turkey can answer with its own heavy weapons.
Avoid this bloodbath and settle ion a new LC. Russia can keep its naval and air base. Assad can rebuild a smaller Syria. And maybe the Kurds can at last end up with a nation state homeland in the east.
The sanest answer here.
No need for all that convoluted bullshit,Turkey is illegally in Syria,they have to leave thats it bottom line,they can ride out or be carried out or be buried there with their terrorist boyfriends.
Nah, to fight a terrorist does not necessitate the need to cross the border of another sovereign nation. The only line of control acceptable to Syria is at the legal borders.
The failure to break the Turkish military at the last fight for Idlib has led to Turkish involvement in conflicts with its neighbours. This time hopefully though, Erdogan’s army and foreign recruits must be broken. Knowing Erdogan, he would choose a date like Nov. 9 to do something.
dsfdfdfdf
Turkish terrorists will burn!
Syria has no choice but to fight to liberate it’s homeland from zionist Amers, Erdoganistanis and Israeli terrorists!
Hopefully Russia proves a capable ally and bombs some turkoids into hell!
YES!
we should first conquer ankara, even before jerusalem
and then moscow, then china
LOL
then washington. we can do it, we have the most powerful army in the world
And Onto Them SAA heavy weapons will be used
