While the Operation Olive Branch initiated for the termination of the PKK / YPG terrorist organization continues, Mehmetçik moves the successful operation towards objective step by step. The operation, which made history with the simultaneous air attack of 72 war planes at the same time, is also breaking the ground with domestic and national production weapons, tools and equipments used at the same time. Making a difference – The products manufactured by the Turkish defense industry makes a difference and saves lives in the field during the operation, for which Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım commented, “National weapons are used by a ratio of 70%”.
Ejder Yalçın Kirpi and Kobra armored personnel carriers (APC) used in the operation can carry 9 to 13 fully equipped personnel. Resistant to mines, ballistic threats and hand-made explosives, the APCs provide our military with superior armor protection against threats in the Afrin area.
