“We also need more battle troops logistics!! Any info on that?”
The YPG, the Kurdish militia in Northern Syria that has been conquering the Northern border area since last May, has enough troops for this operation (from a few thousand to twenty thousand) - as long as Turkey does not cross the border into Syria.
There were reports of some Turkish military entering Jarabulus in the last week - 200-300 troops, a mile or two into Syria. Most of the area being contested in this operation, is within artillery range from Turkish territory (15-20 miles). Azaz and Jarabulus themselves are within easy range of regular tube artillery shells (2-5 miles).
The Kurds have been light fighters without a big logistics tail, and have not suffered much from logistics constraints, but this may be different than the rest of their run across Northern Syria.
The rest of their run was through ethnically Kurdish areas. This last bit has a population of hundreds of thousands of ethnic Turks (Turkmen) and additional Arabs, with a minority of Kurds. With Kurdish enclaves to the East and West though, they won’t have too far to go for supplies, as long as they can drive (10 - 60 miles).
If the Russians are supplying them as reported elsewhere, they can resupply from the Russian naval base, and then by air to Afrin. A Western ground route through Latakia to Afrin is contested ground, although the regime has been advancing. When the Kurds from the East and the Regime from the South link up in Afrin, the major city of Aleppo will be completely encircled.
