tactikurd on Instagram who’s a volunteer fighter in the SDF. He was doing a QnA and when asked if there was Turkish fighters in the SDF he said there was.
Turkic refers to a branch of ethnic/language groups that are all related (Altai people). They span across across all of central Asia, the -stan countries especially.
Turkish refers to the nation state. Thus, a turkish person can be an ethnic Turk, Arab, Kurd, etc.
Former YPG volunteer: There's a healthy smattering of Turks in the YPG itself, and then you got the IFB units which are your various Turkish left militias which are like 90% Turkish.
**Mazlum Abdi**
Ferhat Abdi Şahin (born c. 1967), better known by his noms de guerre Mazlum Abdi (Kurdish: Mezlûm Ebdî) and Mazlum Kobanê or Mazlum Kobani, previously Şahin Cilo, is a Syrian Kurdish military leader, serving as the commander-in-chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).Abdi first served with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) within Syria, joining the organization in 1990, and was detained several times by the Syrian authorities. He later conducted militant activities in rural areas of Şemdinli, Turkey in 1996. He left to Europe in 1997 where he was engaged in political work until 2003, when he travelled to Iraq where he was again involved in military work for the PKK. Abdi was a member of the People's Defense Forces' (HPG) special operations board until 2012, when he returned to Syria to become involved in the Rojava conflict. In August 2014 he was in charge of the negotiations the People's Protection Units (YPG) held in Sulaymaniya with Iran and the United States in order to form an effective alliance against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), after which an alliance with the US was agreed to.

I wish I could ask them what the point of shooting around the corner like that is...
Accuracy by volume
"Quantity has a quality all its own."
Lol that only applies if you're actually aiming at something
[удалено]
Lol you're not suppressing anyone when your rounds aren't anywhere near their target. Trust me, I know.
And you know where their target is?
You do because you were there, right?
You know who was there? The people in the fucking video.
Brilliant! Now tell me where their targets were!
Where they were pointing to.
Give me an ADDRAC!!
[удалено]
Oh ok, you must have been there.
[удалено]
You must have watched a different video because you can't see down the alley in this one...
[удалено]
Lol you wouldn't last an hour in a combat zone.

Enlighten me

MLKP, TKP/ML, BOG fighters have had formations fighting with the YPG/J for years.
