During 2016 operation against ISIS "Euphrates shield" we lost 71 soldier's here..
Battle of al-Bab - Wikipedia
the full list of damaged tank's are here.
Most of them repaired and re entered service.
The city Al-Bab was heavyly fortified and hundreds of ISIS militants control the upperhill place called aqil mountain and also a hospital was built on top of it where most of the operation was going on.
Luckily for ISIS rats on a very foggy day and almost decade's after It snowed in Syria. With the tunnels they dug at the hospital and the bottom of the hill, they carried out suicide bomb attacks with the help of fog and the intelligence of friendly-looking enemy countries. They repel Turkish forces. Turkish airforce later bombard damaged tank's by own and few Weeks later Al bab is seized 1500+ rats send to their 72 virgin's while FSA toke their wives ?.
That's were we lost many tank's.
City defences
Al bab is after 5.5 year's under Turkish control 150 k refugees return to their home's.

The systems on the list are supposedly fully designed and made in Turkey.

That second picture is great!! What is that weapon and that round?? I've wondered about those systems, they're always on the decks of Russian ships and I've always wondered what is the purpose/idea behind that system set up..........anyone???
It doesn't look like a typical naval weapon......just a bunch of mortar tubes in a circle launching mortar rockets?? What am I missing?

It appears similar to a Russian RBU rocket launcher, which is an ASW weapon, which is what your are talking about @uktabber however, I don't recognise the weapon in the photo as being in the Turkish inventory. Turkish company Roketsan make an ASW launcher but it doesn't look like the one in the image.
