| #3 Looks like Erdogan sent in a probing attack that got smacked into the ground. Go figure it's hard to fight with your army either dead or in prison. |

"However, the YPG responded by bombing a Turkish military convoy to prevent them from further advancing into Afrin," the source reported. Relying on speed, stealth, and surprise, it is the archetypal guerrilla army, able to deploy quickly to front lines and concentrate its forces before quickly redirecting the axis of its attack to outflank and ambush its enemy. The key to its success is autonomy. Although operating under an overarching tactical rubric, YPG brigades are inculcated with a high degree of freedom and can adapt to the changing battlefield.
