Turkey has given militants 2 German-made Leopard tanks
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
has given two German-made Leopard tanks to the murderous Moslem forces in northern Syria, the Russian publication Avia.Pro reported on Friday.

"Turkey has handed over to the Syrian gunnies at least two German Leopard tanks, which had already been spotted on the front lines in the Idlib province. Thus, the Ottoman Turkish side actively supports gunnies opposing the Syrian government forces and regularly conducting attacks on the Russian military in this region of Syria," the report said.

Ankara has not officially commented on the transfer of heavy tanks to the murderous Moslem forces; however, a report last week also accused Turkey of giving these armored vehicles to the so-called "Syrian National Army" (SNA), who is currently fighting the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

Germany has provided aid to the SDF troops in Syria, so the fact that these tanks are being used against them may not sit well with the government in Berlin.

#4 Maybe Israel could give the Kurds a few Spikes. But it's in the using of these things that they're effective. Speaking of that, who are the tank crews ? A combo of Ba'athists and Turkish fighters ?

#6 I don't think the Syrians will be able to move them to where they would be of use.

#7 Given the amount of parts and labor required to keep them in operation, it's a good bet that Turkish personnel are involved in their maintenance, the "gift" is just for show.
