2 things? Turkey and Quandil?

Yes, I should have explained at end of title. Sorry.

Turkey has many times invaded Iraq and pursued what Turkey calls Terrorists. (bear in mind, Turkey shelters thousands of ISIS Terrorists and Nusra (al-Qaeda Terrorists).

Qandil is a large mountain in Iraq and Iran that for centuries been a shelter by those pursued by the Ottoman Empire and Turkey. It is a very strong natural fortress.

” It is a very strong natural fortress.”

An old rule of thumb, to defeat an entrenched enemy, the next unit size is the minimum recommended to accomplish the task.

A company to take out a platoon, battalion for a company...

More like he wants to destroy them without any boots on the ground?
Considering Erdogan’s relationship with his officer corps, will they bleed for him?
