I thought that this smelled more like an Erdogan false flag operation.
FWIW - My spell checker wanted to replace 'Erdogan' with 'Underdog'.

I think Erdogan suckered a group to make the attempt at the same time that the group understood they were the last Constitutional military in Turkiye. The revenge thing was planned out ahead of time. It was all ready. Some of the actors in the drama seemed to be putting on a show and not really part of an actual coup attempt- the aircraft that permitted Erdogan to land in an apparently contested airport.
