If the coup can't end in a day, it will undoubtedly evolve into a civil war.
More than two weeks ago, the Turkish military launched a coup in Istanbul.
A F16 suddenly changed course when completing a routine mission. It flew over Istanbul and opened fire on the presidential palace. However, Erdogan temporarily changed his itinerary and wasn't in the presidential palace. He was fortunate enough to escape the attack.
The rogue F16 was immediately tracked down by ground-based air defense system and was shot down in northern Istanbul.
After learning about the army's coup, Erdogan immediately convened a Supreme Military Council meeting and ruled out the newly established Presidential Guards who promised allegiance to him personally after 2016. He arrested coup participants and surrounded the 14th Mechanical Brigade suspected of participating in the coup.
