2012-06-28


Turkish convoys including artillery and armor are moving toward the Syrian border. A convoy of 30 vehicles is said to have departed Iskenderun which included missile batteries. Article doesn't specify missile type. In addition, armor is said to be on the move toward Sanliurfa. Article also reports considerable number of individual vehicles headed to Reyhanli.

Activity appears to be in/around Hatay province.

#6  Yeah, looks defensive to me at this point. But if Syrian helicopters have been crossing the border in recent weeks, this might be the end of that.

#5  Invade? No.

A couple SAM and AAA batteries to shoot down Syrian fighters that get to close? Yes.

#4  Do you think they're going to invade with a column of thirty vehicles?

(The Turks of the 50's and 60's coulda probably pulled something off; they were awesome. These guys? I think their turbans are too tight, and have been too tight for a while).
