Come and get it…
I am absolutely sure that the very sign "IF YOU DARE COME AND GET IT!" was the motto written in huge letters on one of the buildings ınside the National Guard military complex in Famagusta - so that it could be seen from the main road leading into the Turkish quarter (old city).
Guess what GR? That is exactly where I did my military training, because TC soldiers occupy it now. The new motto reads "I DARED AND I'VE GOT IT!"
Do not tempt faith my dear...

You’re still drunk from the spoils of the 74 one sided war...
Come and “demilitarize” the Cyprus National Guard TODAY!
And I will then call you a “balligari”

The Turkish Air Force claims to have destroyed more than 50 tanks, the army "several dozen" while the special forces say they blew up a few in night raids. Now add to those claims the tanks supposedly captured and destroyed by various locals and the National Guard must have had more tanks than the Israeli army.

Nikitas 4 were destroyed in Lurucina. 2 of those are positioned on the hills west of Lurucina pointing towards Larnaca. I don't deal in dreams. I'll find some pictures for you if want. These are inescapable facts.

They admit that there were casualties due to naval artillery shells falling short in Kyrenia, of mistargeted artillery strikes in Myrtou, misplaced mines in Karavas (where they also hit a BBC reporter) and above all the sinking of one ship and serious damage to two others.
The pilots who hit all these target were rewarded with houses in Karmi and the title of Gazi (victor over the infidels).
The silouette of the T34 is distinctive, being a sort of polyhedral shape. The M48 is more rounded. The NG had no M48s yet some are exhibited as being hit in 1974. We are free to draw our own conclusions.
