Turkish UCAV shot down near Til Temir

Turkish UCAV shot down by fighters of the Til Temir Military Council north of the city.

Til Temir Military Council fighters shot down an Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV) belonging to the occupying Turkish soldiers north of the city.

SDF Press Center published footage of the downed UCAV.


Til Temir is a good 30 kilometres from the Turkish border and borders in the north on the illegal occupation zone that Turkey is running along its southern border in solidarity with jihadists in Rojava. Since 2019, the Christian-majority district has been in the aggressors' crosshairs as part of a war of attrition, with periods of high intensity alternating with periods of low intensity. Dozens of villages have since been either occupied, depopulated or extensively destroyed. Almost as many villages lie directly on the front line - and thus in the permanent sights of the occupying forces.
