BEHDINAN – The atomic bombs dropped by Japan on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, in the last stage of World War II, by the US army had an effect of 15 and 20 kilotons. The effects of the tactical nuclear bombs used by the Turkish army in attacking the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla’s base areas were reflected in the cameras.
Tactical nuclear weapons have become indispensable for the Turkish army in the invasion attacks against Zap, Metîna and Avaşîn regions in Medya Defense Zones, which have been continuing since April 14, 2022. Taking advantage of the silence of the world and international public opinion, the Turkish army now uses these weapons, which have the power to destroy all living things in the region where they are used, almost every day.
ENTRANCES OF TUNNELS EXPLOSED SIMULTANEOUSLY
The moment of the explosion of tactical nuclear weapons was last recorded with cameras at the Karker Resistance Area in Zap. The images showed that the invading army, helpless in the face of the historical resistance of the HPG and YJA Star guerrillas with superior modern warfare methods, attacked the Girê Ortê battle positions with tactical nuclear bombs.
Tactical nuclear bombs previously laid are detonated simultaneously at the entrances of the tunnel, which he could not seize despite intense bombardment with rockets and boiler bombs containing all kinds of chemical gases from the air and on the ground for months. With the intensity of the explosion, which created thousands of tons of TNT, it is seen that the tunnel entrances turn into a fireball.
A similar image was recorded during the attack carried out by the invading Turkish army with tactical nuclear bombs against the Girê Martyr Zemanî battle positions in Girê Hakkarî Resistance Area. In the aforementioned images, published on ANF on August 24, 2022, it was reflected in the images that the camera on the recording shook with the effect of the bomb, although it was taken at a distance of about 5 kilometers.
BOMBS THAT CREATE THE ‘LITTLE HIROSHMA’ EFFECT
Tactical nuclear bombs are known as “Bombs that created Little Hiroshima” because they create the effect of atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima in a particular area. The fact that these bombs have been used in Kurdistan since the 1990s was also confessed by the pilot, Lieutenant General Erdogan Karakus, who himself retired from the Turkish army. Explaining that there are tactical nuclear weapons in the inventory of the Turkish army in a TV program he attended last March, Karakuş said, “20 kilotons thrown into Japan, these are half kilotons”.
According to some experts, tactical nuclear bombs can be more dangerous than nuclear bombs that can be launched at high or intercontinental ranges, sometimes called “strategic nuclear weapons” because of their small size. Therefore, although they are called “tactical”, these nuclear bombs are used for strategic purposes as in Kurdistan. The aim of the Turkish state with these bombs is to destroy the tunnels, caves and crossing points that they could not capture, as was captured by the cameras in Girê Martyr Zemanî and the Karker Resistance Area.
DURAN KALKAN ON THE USE OF THESE WEAPONS
Talking to ANKF, PKK Executive Committee Member Duran Kalkan made an assessment to Medya Haber Tv about the isolation in Imrali and the struggle against isolation, the Turkish state’s war of occupation, the last NATO meeting, and the anniversary of the July 14 Great Death Fast Resistance and the July 19 Revolution.
As for the guerrilla resistance… The war continues intensifying. What are the latest situation and developments in this field?
Much can be said about war. Because there is a war situation that is really intense and somewhat diffused. I can try to summarize some issues and new situations under 3 headings. First, practically the state of the war, its development, the state of intensification…
The situation is as follows; The Turkish state made downloads in many areas, there were conflicts. A few days later, the People’s Defense Central Headquarters will announce the 3-month balance sheet. After all, it will be seen then what a great war has taken place in the last 3 months. I said, there were downloads, there has been conflict in every field for 3 months. On the one hand, there is a hand-to-hand combat. The guerrilla is everywhere, and the Turkish state has landed its military forces everywhere. There is conflict every day. 20-25 soldiers are shot or injured every day. But there is no clarity. The result is as follows; There is a hand-to-hand conflict, a 24-hour war. There is the reality of an army that is stuck, struggling, deadlocked and locked up in the face of guerrilla attacks. It receives intensive support with technical strength. There is an army trying to survive by resorting to all kinds of war tricks and forbidden weapons, yet it cannot protect itself. What did he do? Some methods are called. In other words, it is attacking an external environment; Here in the North, in Kurdistan and in Turkey, it attacks the people, attacks and arrests workers, laborers, women and youth. It is attacking Southern Kurdistan, it is attacking Maxmur, it is attacking Shengal, it is attacking Rojava, it is using intense technique.
GUERILLA IS CRACKING THE REGIME
Secondly, the performance of the guerrilla is very high. So on that ground, the guerrilla developed creative ways. Against attack in all kinds of work, against technical power, against technical support from NATO, against KDP support, against the use of prohibited weapons, against the use of chemical weapons, nuclear weapons; that is, the guerrilla did not leave the area it was in in every area. He develops creative new methods. With tunnel warfare, team warfare, and their coordination, it really strikes blow after blow. In other words, the guerrilla of Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna are successful. Nobody here can fight like the HPG and YJA-Star guerrillas. No army! Neither the American army, nor the Russian army, nor the Chinese army will last a single day. Let them come, they cannot stand the conditions of that guerrilla even for a day. So the performance of the guerrilla is good. Indeed, courage, sacrifice, creativity is at the highest level. In other words, a guerrilla force in a certain area is fighting hand-to-hand against NATO’s second largest army and an army that receives all kinds of support from NATO. He is fighting with his rifle in his hand, he is fighting with his courage and faith and is not defeated, he strikes a blow, is defeated, brought the regime to the point of fleeing, it is overthrowing the regime.
If there are mistakes and deficiencies, they are evaluated, our headquarters discusses them, they already learn lessons and correct them. Nothing beyond that can be said. In this regard, external support is insufficient. So this is how you should see it. They have inadequacies in the spread of war. The Turkish state is not only in Zap, Avaşîn and Metina, but also in the north, south, west of Kurdistan and all over Turkey. Everywhere was a battlefield, partly there were actions. It has spread a little but the spread is weak. In fact, they need to evolve. Otherwise, Zap, Avaşîn Metîna guerrilla really revealed a situation and development that included great innovations in the history of the guerrilla. Once again, I salute all the warriors and congratulate them on their success. We commemorate the heroic martyrs. They really reveal all the virtues of being human. I mean, they teach a lesson in humanity. What is equality, fraternity, human creativity, solidarity, unity… What kind of power does war friendship reveal on the basis of comradeship, they give the most outstanding example of these. Indeed, they write heroic epics. They are reconstructing and writing the history of Kurdish freedom. So they write with blood, they write with courage, they write with faith.
THERE ARE CONFIDENTIAL DATA THAT 6 KINDS OF CHEMICALS ARE USED
Third issue; War crimes committed by the Turkish Republic. We have to stand on it. So it uses widespread chemical weapons and tactics. HPG explains this; That’s because he used so many chemical weapons, there was a bombing with so many explosives or there was an explosion. There is concrete information that he used 6 types of chemical weapons. There is data. The latest HPG BİM provided images of these, that is, determined their markings and what kind of weapons they were. Chemical weapons are being used openly. So at least 15-20 times a day, sometimes it goes up to 30. Either it spreads to every area, no one makes a sound. However, it is a chemical crime. On the other hand, it bombs with explosives along with chemical weapons. In other words, he uses them at least as much as chemical weapons. But they are separate from chemical weapons. Apart from the bombardment of planes, reconnaissance planes, howitzers, tanks, mortars. This is a different kind, it happens with explosive explosives, the guerrilla says, and it is also reflected in the press. He says he was bombarded with explosives in the press. But what explosive is this explosive? This needs to be clarified. It should be focused on and studied better. Is it C4, TNT, dynamite, another type of explosive or tactical nuclear bomb? I said last time, he’s using a tactical nuclear bomb. Our Central Headquarters Command confirmed it somehow. A little bit of CNN Türk made the first news of the retired general’s confession. It was not emphasized further, and the press did not investigate. HPG BİM should focus more on it. The available data should be analyzed. Very serious situation. They are more effective than chemical weapons. So there is a situation here. Our knowledge of the data, the narratives of friends coming out of the tunnels, 98 percent proves that it is a tactical nuclear weapon, but of course I have not examined it in detail. I can’t do that much. It examines whoever holds that data. It can’t happen otherwise.Let me give you some information on tactical nuclear weapons. One-third of NATO’s nuclear weapons inventory is tactical nuclear weapons. So it’s that important. These weapons were used in tunnels and mountain passes. It is made for use here. War continues in such places now. Mainly now these weapons can be carried in suitcases, bags. So it is, it can be fired from rifles or small launchers. It has such a clear feature today.
Another thing, for example, if you detonated a 4-5 kilo bomb, it had as much effect as a 20-ton explosive. That’s how much energy it takes. That’s the sound and that’s the effect. With bombs of 4 kilos, 5 kilos, 20 tons…
The guerrilla gives information; that it was detonated with explosives. These cannot be C4 or TNT. Because he drops tons of boiler bombs there by plane. No, they’re suddenly dropping a 4-ton cauldron bomb. Then it won’t do any good to take 5-10 kilos of explosives and detonate them. So there is no logic.
So there is a mime in this explosive, there is doubt. There are dozens of these tactical nuclear weapons variants; There is no such thing as chemical weapons. For example, the moment it explodes, it instantly destroys all the oxygen there. Therefore, it destroys all living things, on the other hand, the nervous system. Some burn, some destroy. There are many types of tactical nuclear weapons of this type with many different characteristics. Let’s be careful he uses them. It uses the one that destroys oxygen, burns flames, gêj (stuns) is used. We also examined it. Friends coming out of the war tunnels in Tepe Sor in Avaşîn said: “The last time there was such an explosion, we thought it was an earthquake, it was not like the previous ones, we were closed in one place, stayed for a while, then we left that all our friends in the other place were martyred. . We came to the door, there were no soldiers, we left.” They obviously dropped nuclear weapons, They went away so it wouldn’t be effective. It is certain that this is not such a chemical weapon, nor any other explosive, and when examined, it points to a tactical nuclear weapon. We can state this clearly. So this must be revealed.
NATO IS A SPECIAL WAR INSTITUTION, IT IS GLADIO
Using these weapons, NATO met in Madrid on 28-30 June. Did NATO really give Tayyip Erdogan what he wanted?
Now this NATO meeting has been very controversial, some things are still being discussed. We also expressed our opinion. There isn’t much to discuss. NATO is renewing itself, they said, against new targets set against dictatorships and terrorists. Dictatorship with Russia, I don’t know China; with terrorism, they are targeting the powers in the Middle East and North Africa, Iran and the like. So NATO is expanding all over Europe. Indeed, the United States was left alone in the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Its effect on the system is almost to the point of zero. He was losing leadership. Withdrew, after which Russia attacked Ukraine. Now the USA is once again consolidating its leadership on this basis, and Europe is enrolling new members; it is with the attitude towards Russia that its influence in Europe is expanding.
I can say as follows; He took all of NATO on his way to Afghanistan. It was also effective at first then, but eventually got into a stalemate. It almost lost all its effectiveness. We do not know what will happen to Ukraine, where the tension with Russia will go, where the tension with China will go. In this respect, NATO does not have much to do. NATO is a private war institution, that’s its essence, Gladio, and it continues. Now the main thing is that Gladio situation.
Another issue is Sweden and Finland. I couldn’t understand this and I want to ask, NATO has been with these states for 73 years. NATO was founded in 1949; Three years later, in 1952, the Turkish state applied for me to join. Now, these states have not joined this NATO for 73 years, but what happened now that they thought of joining at the end of the 73rd year? They are making an agreement with AKP fascism, they are making a compromise, it is not understandable. It must be explained in terms of states. The Kurdish issue was discussed a lot, the Kurds won-lost, there were those who spread pessimism. These are not correct things. This NATO had nothing to do with the Kurds! There are Kurds supported by NATO; Well, a few weeks before the meeting, Barzani went to Brussels, went to London, they had talks. In other words, NATO is the organization that has been protecting the system for 73 years, which ignores the Kurds and wants to destroy them. ‘ They are the forces that have been waging war against the PKK guerrilla themselves since 85. Here he used Sweden with the murder of Olof Palme. NATO used it against the PKK and the Kurds. Now he wants to take it into NATO and use it. Sweden vs. They did not contribute much to the Kurds. Of course, don’t host Tayyip Erdoğan there, if support is given to Tayyip Erdoğan, this affects negatively. In other words, it can be discussed for Sweden, Finland and NATO. They talk about democracy, they say they are against dictatorship and terrorism, but when we ask who your friends are, Tayyip Erdoğan and Devlet Bahçeli come out. Don’t they laugh at people? How are they democrats? NATO was not credible in the past, but it has completely lost its credibility. NATO used it against the PKK and the Kurds. Now he wants to take it into NATO and use it. Sweden vs. They did not contribute much to the Kurds. Of course, don’t host Tayyip Erdoğan there, if support is given to Tayyip Erdoğan, this affects negatively. In other words, it can be discussed for Sweden, Finland and NATO. They talk about democracy, they say they are against dictatorship and terrorism, but when we ask who your friends are, Tayyip Erdoğan and Devlet Bahçeli come out. Don’t they laugh at people?

In other words, it can be discussed for Sweden, Finland and NATO. They talk about democracy, they say they are against dictatorship and terrorism, but when we ask who your friends are, Tayyip Erdoğan and Devlet Bahçeli come out. Don’t they laugh at people? How are they democrats? NATO was not credible in the past, but it has completely lost its credibility. this negatively affects it. In other words, it can be discussed for Sweden, Finland and NATO. They talk about democracy, they say they are against dictatorship and terrorism, but when we ask who your friends are, Tayyip Erdoğan and Devlet Bahçeli come out. Don’t they laugh at people? How are they democrats? NATO was not credible in the past, but it has completely lost its credibility. this negatively affects it. In other words, it can be discussed for Sweden, Finland and NATO.

How are they democrats? NATO was not credible in the past, but it has completely lost its credibility.
In other words, if there was opposition, something could have happened if Turkey had taken a stand, but if it didn’t, all kinds of support had been given until now. There is no new situation, the pressure, the attack will continue. So, NATO will continue the Kurdish genocidal system, that is, it will support the genocidal war, it turns out. Now, what was given to Tayyip Erdogan, it’s complicated for Turkey, of course.
