Turkish military begins air landing drills for Syria operation
2019-04-09
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish military has begun helicopter training drills for what appears to be their next major operation in Syria.

According to the pro-opposition page Halab Today, the Ottoman Turkish military is conducting live training drills involving helicopter air landings as they prepare for their eastern Euphrates offensive against the Kurdish-led People’s Protection Units (YPG).

Ottoman Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First

has repeatedly stated that his armed forces are going to expel the Kurdish-led troops from northern Syria.

With tensions already mounting from Ankara’s S-400 deal with Russia, a potential Ottoman Turkish military operation could lead to a severe issue with the U.S.
