If they can't do the following things in the first 48 hours, the coup is doomed:
1. Take and hold all key government buildings in Ankara.
2. Take and hold all key internet and telecom nodes.
3. Arrest Erdogan and detain him until his trial for crimes against humanity.
4. Secure the loyalty OR non-interference of the key special forces, paratroop, and armor units.
So far, so good.
Also important is to prevent Erdogan's family from leaving the country. If at all possible, his corrupt sons must be arrested before they flee.
The people behind this coup know they are going to die if this doesn't work out so this could get bloody.
