"Unconfirmed Reports Of Gunfire, Explosions Inside Incirlik Airbase - Local Sources"
DEFCONWarningSystem @DEFCONWS
What we Know Incirlik AFB had its power cut and government forces were surrounding early this morning #UNCONFIRMED reports of explosions now.
Base is actually a Turkish air base. Believe US has around 1k personnel stationed there. Airfield was used to refuel coup-involved helicopters last night. Incirlik will be a hotspot for that reason alone.
I wasn’t really criticizing you, FRIend. the wasteland known as twitter is just one of my least favorite things.
Barry’s golf inspired nickname for Reggie....the 19th hole.
When I was in a Pershing firing battalion in Germany, we had realistic plans in case anyone, including the Bundeswehr, attempted to seize nuclear warheads. Warheads were carefully guarded and rigged for destruction at a moment's notice, and the local commanders, down to platoon commanders, had authority to destroy warheads rather than let them be compromised.
In Obama's Army, anything is possible. Maybe this is just a transfer of weapons from the blue team to the red team.
“Obama Briefed on Turkey”
Sure, I can see it now. Ohola asks his caddie, what is that guy waiving his arms about over there, go find out. Caddie comes back and says something about dinner will be Turkey. Ohola tells Caddie go back and tell him to stop interfering with my game, thanks for the briefing.
I don’t doubt they could get a lot of planes in the air in short notice, queueing them up, taking off two by two.
No worries. Obama will simply give them nukes AND a lot of money. And they might want to keep some of our planes, so we’ll give them those as well. And we can all watch ESPN tonight in peace.
Base Facebook page says no explosions
lol
Reports of F16s flying over base. Do not know who’s planes, but since Turkish airspace is closed to US, they must be Turkish. We know the power was cut, troops on outside of base, Turkish officials think some coup sympathizers are there, might have refueled coup planes and Erdogan thinks the US was behind the coup. You can use your calculator to add all that up if you need the answer.
prove they are there... i read the moved them in 2003 on another thread about 5 min ago
Its a just tweet but:
Turkish official: Govt has suspicions Incirlik Air Base, home of US airstrikes against ISIL, used to refuel aircraft used in coup attempt.
Source of tweet?
It COULD be sonic...but aren’t all planes grounded? They were earlier..
We’ll know if explosive by witness reports of fire/smoke..
Of course good luck getting witness reports.
Incirlik Air Base - Turkey
Incirlik Air Base - Turkey Just for everyone’s knowledge. There are no reports of any explosions on or near the installation. Let’s please not perpetuate this rumor any more.
What that means is the Turks are too gunning them. Must be some type of standoff. You do not cause sonic booms over a base to say hello.
Thank you.
