LOREEEEEEEEE IM DONE BEING IRAN I DONT WANT TO HAVE ANY BEEF WITH JOO In the rugged highlands of Eastern Turkey — near the intersection of ancient fault lines, abandoned Soviet-era caches, and long-simmering political tensions — a new insurgent faction emerged seemingly overnight. They call themselves The Red Fault (Kızıl Fay in Turkish), named after both the seismic rift beneath their stronghold and the “rupture” they plan to unleash on the Republic of Turkey. Origin: No one is entirely sure when or how they formed. Some say it started with disillusioned defectors from various militias across the Caucasus and the Middle East. Others whisper of a deep-state operation gone rogue — a forgotten weapons pipeline meant for foreign wars that turned inward. Their rise began after a series of black-market weapons convoys disappeared in the mountainous borders. These convoys included: Ex-Soviet tanks and APCs Drone swarms stolen from a failed defense program Stockpiles of NATO gear “lost” during overseas withdrawals Weapons and Tactics: The Red Fault doesn't just have weapons — they weaponize chaos: DIY drone-bombers swarm Turkish convoys before disappearing. Convincing deepfake videos and cyberattacks destabilize public trust. Convoys strike deep into Anatolia using ex-military Humvees retrofitted with IEDs and Turkish police markings. They're masters of blending in and blowing up, fighting more like a network than a traditional army. Think urban ambushes in Diyarbakır, cyber-jamming airports in Van, and false-flag ops in Ankara. Leadership: Known only by the code name "Sekhmet", their leader is as much myth as person — supposedly a former intelligence operative who turned on the state after a massacre was covered up. Some say she's not even real — just a face for a council of warlords. Goals: Officially? They claim they want to “break the spine of an empire built on centuries of silence.” Unofficially? Theories abound: A bid to carve out an autonomous state. Revenge for a buried genocide. A proxy war front for foreign powers wanting to drain Turkey's resources.
