Translation:
"Endless battalions of tanks, APCs and Firtina self-propelled howitzers are being transferred from the region of Evros and the Zone of Responsibility of the 1st Army to the borders with Syria and there is information to suggest movement of Leo2A4 tanks with 120mm guns and much greater survivability against the Russian T-90 than the upgraded M60T SABRA.
The tanks are being moved from the western provinces of Turkey and joined the 5th Armoured Brigade based in Gaziantep.
Turkish tanks are transported by all means. Some arrive by train, others by tank carriers.
Overall, more than 1,000 battle tanks, artillery, APCs and self-propelled rocket launchers were moved from Eastern Thrace in the direction of Syria.
The Turkish 1st Army comprises four Armored Brigades, 7 Mechanized Infantry Brigades and two Infantry Divisions. The proportion of Greek and Turkish tanks in the Evros region is 1: 1.9.
However the Turkish armoured and mechanised Brigades are formations of four or five manoeuvring until, deploying a total of about 28 squadrons of tanks, while under the 5th Army Corps also falls an independent reconaissance squadron.

“Endless Batallions of tanks”......
I love the dramatic translations. It like reading dispatches from Stalingrad.
Turkey is going to find themselves out on a very thin limb.
Get Turkey OUT of NATO.
Ridiculous.
Are they moving to support their ISIS friends?
And Obama will tell Turkey, you are on your own.
USA really needs to stay out of this chaotic war.
Are they moving to support their ISIS friends?
If they are then their front door is wide open and Putin could launch an invasion through Istanbul or at least fein one. This gets more interesting by the day.
Armageddon redux.
Istanbul not Constantinople
Obama will tell Turkey whatever the f-——ing mooseslime sisterhood wants him to say.
There has to be a colonel or two and a few companies of SO troops out there that love their country enough to clear out the whole DC den of iniquity, right?
I would tend to believe the Russian has more anti tank weapons then turkey has tanks.
Why is the ally of the US and ISIS so willing to start a nuclear war? Is this the goal of the Handlers of Turkey, the USA?
Sure hope they don’t attack the capital of Syria.
It appears the Archduke Ferdinand has been shot!
my worry is that Obama will support Turkey. I recall in an interview Obama was asked which foreign leader does he like the most and he said Erdogan
Amassing an invasion force to “protect” their friends and illicit commerce?
must be a lot of money at stake for the turks who wish to commit suicide ...
Don't have the numbers on Ukrainian losses in the Donbas, but they were significant. Turkey will not do any better against Russia, IMO. But lets all hope we don't find out....
