Its not a choice,in the end as a country we have to be able to show force.i want to ask you a some question.
While Turkey's economy is getting worse every day, why try to build a platform like an aircraft carrier, which is very expensive to build and operate? I think that Turkey's priority should be on other projects right now. Because you know that Turkey does not have unlimited financial and human resources to allocate to every project. Doesn't starting such a project make it harder to allocate resources to other projects?
what do you think about this issue?
Take a look at our geography,we are a country of 80+ million surrounded by seas.
We belong in the top 10 Armed Forces of the world and to do that we need to upgrade all of our forces.
Think of our current and future interests around the world(Africa,South East Asia,South America).
Whats the best way to offer help in any way needed,only by sea.
An AC carrier group can help in all circumstances.
Btw,its a project of at least 15 years so the economy wont be an issue.
