Begrenzte Offensive, erhebliche Verluste - RLS

Begrenzte Offensive, erhebliche Verluste - RLS: [rosalux.de] Die Zahlen der eingesetzten Truppen variieren je nach Quelle zwischen
6.400 Soldaten der Türkischen Streitkräfte und etwa 10.000
Kämpfer*innen der Freien Syrien Armee (FSA). Anders als ihr Name
nahelegt, ist die FSA ein Konglomerat verschiedener islamistischer und
dschihadistischer Milizen, die direkt von Ankara bezahlt werden. Seitens
der Türkei wurden neben Infanteristen, schwere Waffensysteme, wie
Artillerie und Panzer sowie Flugzeuge und Kampfhubschrauber eingesetzt.
Theoretisch kann bei einem Einsatz von Drohnenaufklärung jeder Punkt
Afrins unter präzises Artilleriefeuer genommen werden. Die Zahl der
kurdischen Verteidiger*innen ist schwierig zu bestimmen, dürfte jedoch
höher als die vielfach angegebenen 8.000-10.000 Kämpfer*innen liegen,
weil die Mobilisierung für den Verteidigungskrieg noch anläuft.

Depending on the source, the numbers of deployed troops vary between 6,400 Turkish Armed Forces soldiers and about 10,000 Free Syria Army (FSA) fighters. Other than its name suggests, the FSA is a conglomerate of various Islamist and jihadist militias paid directly by Ankara. In addition to infantrymen, heavy weapons systems such as artillery and tanks as well as airplanes and combat helicopters were used by Turkey. Theoretically, using drone intelligence, every point of Afrin can be taken under precise artillery fire. The number of Kurdish defenders is difficult to determine, but is likely to be higher than the 8,000-10,000 fighters stated many times, as the mobilization for the defensive war is still on.
Limited military capabilities of Turkey
