US air force used new precision-guided bombs capable of locating and destroying fiber optic systems Yeah, right. Actually DEBKA has blundered into part of the truth. The capture of the airfield and the region in the former north of Iraq by Turkey is not going to be countered by Baghdad.
Why didn't you know that fiber optic systems are resistant to conventional explosives???
Neither did I… ;-)
I do believe even smoke signal communications fail in the haze of conventional explosives…
