BreakingNews @en di

Amid claims that Turkey shifting its axis from the West and NATO towards Russia, Defense Minister Fikri Işık has said Turkey’s efforts to enhance relations with its Black Sea neighbor did not represent an alternative path to the country’s existing partnership with NATO. Speaking on the third day of the Ambassadors Conference in Ankara, the Defense Minister further criticized NATO’s stance against Turkey. He said “Turkey’s developing relations with Russia does not mean a weakening of relations with NATO”. “Turkey is one of the most important members of NATO, and has its second largest army. Turkey is devoted to all the conditions that are required by the alliance,” Işık added. He also criticized NATO for not hearing Turkey’s calls and urged it to fulfill the pledges made to the country. He drew attention to the lack of cooperation between the coalition states in the fight against Daesh, while noting that NATO was yet to fulfill pledges made over the southeast of Turkey in regards to counterterrorism operations. “In an effort to curb Turkey’s ability to affect regional developments, the Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ) has emerged against us.”
Finally, he also focused on the ongoing U.S. support for the PKK’s Syrian offshoot, the Democratic Union Party (PYD): “We will continue to say that the PYD is a terror organization and that it is not legitimate to cooperate with them in the region. We hope Trump and his administration to take over on Jan. 20 will hear Turkey’s calls and refrain from making the same mistake.”

The recapture of the university is an important gain because it enables further advances as it overlooks areas closer to the river.

This morning was also taken Istitutoi the Technical University of Mosull on University Boulevard, avenue that joins to the Tigers on the fifth deck, action that would close in a bag the possible resistance of the neighborhoods near the river for an accurate home security action to home.
This success is due in part to the tactical efforts of the coalition that, with shelling and tactical support to Iraqene troops, including Zerawani and Peshmerga forces, has allowed an advanced much faster these days.
The commander of the operation inherente Resolve, the US army colonel brett sylvia, in yesterday’s press conference expressed how important it was strategic coordination between the tactical support and iraqene forces, an exceptional teamwork that led to today’s result .
I this scenario the shelling and the use of drones made it possible to take out the main tactical resource of ISIS, the car bombs and improvised explosive devices, finally giving the room for maneuver necessary for the liberation of the city.
These car bombs designed to maximize the explosion shattering effect for months have been the point of formza black militia putting in serious difficulty the security forces. These cars were thrown against difensia line, check points or advancing troops by creating casualties and chaos that permettava an effectiveness on the survivors throw.
Mosul in nearly 24 months of occupation was fortified and underground tunnels were made both for people and for small means making it possible for terrorists to move safely from one point to another city.

Mosul, liberato il 70% della città

Asia/Difesa di

Le truppe iraqene supportate dalla coalizione hanno liberato il 70% della città dopo settimane di aspri combattimenti casa per casa.

La conquista di tutti i ponti sul Tigri rappresenta una passo decisivo verso la completa liberazione della città da ha dell’esercito regolare Iraqeno e delle truppe Peshmerga.

Nella mattinata di oggi è stata preso anche l’Istituto Tecnico dell’Università di Mosull sulla University Boulevard, viale che si ricongiunge verso il Tigri sul quinto ponte, azione che permetterebbe di chiudere in una sacca l’eventuale resistenza dei quartieri a ridosso del fiume per una accurata azione di sicurezza casa per casa.

Questo successo è da attribuire in parte anche allo sforzo tattico della coalizione che, con i bombardamenti mirati e il supporto tattico alle truppe Iraqene, comprese le forze Zerawani e Peshmerga, ha permesso una avanzata molto più veloce in questi giorni.

Il comandante della operazione Inherente Resolve , il colonnello dell’esercito Statunitense brett sylvia, nella conferenza stampa di ieri ha indicato come sia stato importante il coordinamento strategico tra il supporto tattico e le forze iraqene, un lavoro di squadra eccezionale che ha portato al risultato odierno.

I questo scenario i bombardamenti mirati e l’uso dei droni hanno permesso di mettere fuori gioco la principale risorsa tattica dell’ISIS , le auto bombe e gli ordigni esplosivi improvvisati, dando finalmente lo spazio di manovra necessario per la liberazione della città.

Queste autobombe realizzate per massimizzare l’effetto dirompente dell’esplosione sono state per mesi il punto di formza delle milizie nere mettendo in serie difficoltà le truppe di sicurezza. Queste auto venivano lanciate contro la linea difensia, i check point o le truppe in avanzata creando vittime e caos che permettava un tiro di efficacia sui superstiti.

Mosul nei quasi 24 mesi di occupazione è stata fortificata e nel sottosuolo sono stati realizzati tunnel sia per le persone che per piccoli mezzi dando la possibilità ai terroristi di muoversi al sicuro da un punto all’altro della città.

Ma la perdita di questi mezzi non significa aver distrutto la loro capacità offensiva, su Mosul volano anche piccoli Droni quadricotteri commerciali con una autonomia di 45 minuti capaci di sganciare ordigni esplosivi o di lanciarsi come kamikaze sulle postazioni iraqene..
