On 16 July at 1:35 a.m., the People’s Defense Forces (HPG) shot down another Turkish Sikorsky army helicopter at Girê Bahar in the western Zap region of “Şehîd Delîl.” The action was confirmed by the HPG Press Center that released a preliminary statement.
Guerrillas have reported that another helicopter was shot down in the same region on 10 July. The following day, the guerrillas released a video showing the action.
Sikorsky helicopters are the backbone of the Turkish invasion. They are transport helicopters, usually armed with at least one heavy machine gun, which are used to transport troops and supply them in difficult terrain.
In particular, the Turkish invasion troops trapped in the guerrilla areas are dependent on supplies from the air and the transport of dead and wounded by helicopters. The guerrillas are increasingly challenging the Turkish army’s air supremacy.
After more and more Turkish drones have been shot down by the guerrillas, helicopters are now also being shot down in increasing numbers. At the same time, the guerrillas have learned to use the airspace effectively and efficiently as a new dimension for actions. Guerrilla drones are increasingly attacking Turkish bases.
