The Turkish military was not ready for the active actions of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The victory of the militants of the Syrian National Army and the Turkish Armed Forces in the area of Manbij stopped. The Kurds launched a counterattack and put their opponents to flight.
According to military experts, the success of this operation was largely achieved thanks to the Syrian and Russian military, who stood in the way of the Turks and allowed the “Syrian Democratic Forces” (SDF) to concentrate attack units in a vulnerable area. As a result, the offensive of Ankara and the attempt to capture Manbij failed. The Turkish army was forced to retreat in disgrace, throwing armored vehicles on the battlefield.
The video below shows the abandoned Turkish armored vehicle that the deserted crew left.
The Turkish Ministry of Defense declined to comment on these shots, however, they testify to the first cases of desertion and flight of Turkish troops from the battlefield. It should be noted that the pilots of the Turkish Air Force F-16 fighters were also forced to turn away when the Russian Su-35S interceptors appeared in the sky above Manbij.
According to experts, the Turkish army and its satellites are unlikely to be able to take Manbij. Damascus did everything to strengthen its defense. The city has already concentrated up to 1,500 military personnel of the SAR and more than 20 tanks in addition to the units of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). From the air, this group is covered by the Russian Aerospace Forces.
“The approaches to Manbij from the north are perfectly protected. Even if we assume that the terrorists will launch an open large-scale attack, the Russian and Syrian military aircraft could inflict a serious defeat on the fighters even on the approaches, ”the expert notes
