Hi Gang,
I wonder if the Turkish Armed Forces used the ACV-15 IFV with DAF 25 mm turret in Operation Olive Branch or just the Dragar turret?
Frenchy...HEEELP!

Hello Hans,
Many ACV-15s in Operation Olive Branch are with Dragar Turret but I found several ACV-15s with DAF Turret in this operation.
I'll post when I find.
