Possible, perhaps, but it would require quite a large coordinated effort and also what's the point? The numbers aren't looking good at all for Turkey even using these figures, so it's not like they're saving face or something

Saving face is relative. Wartime propaganda doesn't say we shot down 100 enemy planes for no losses of our own, you say we shot down 72 for 12 of our own.

Also, no coordination is required whatsoever. People around the country report their numbers in dribs and drabs, then someone in the ministry adds them up, throws them away, and replaces them with a number that won't get them shouted at.

just a mechanism, not saying that is what is happening. (disagree on the large coordinated effort though, amazing what people will do to keep their jobs/livelihoods) as for why try? I quit trying to rationalize insanity after I got out grad school.
