TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

[Afif]

If a handful of anti ship cruise missiles did end up hitting it, that could disable the facilities needed for planes to take off and land and force the ship to get back for repairs. You don't need to sink it. And if you manage to hit propulsion system with a torpedo, it will have to be towed.

Well, multiple AEGIS ship carries hundreds of interceptors (with different ranges and altitudes) and each can simultaneously guide dozens of them. That of course, if you can get close enough to launch some missiles to begin with. However, Carrier's air wing supported by AEWCS and growler will prevent your aircrafts and ships from getting into AShM release points. (So you have to fight your way through carrier's air wing.)

Also, SSK cannot keep up with nuclear powered carrier's speed. Even with a SSK that is equipped with latest lithium ion batteries, if you try to cruise at 20 knots continuously, you wont last more than 36 hours. (instead of three weeks)
To effectively threaten a carrier, you need at least one (preferably two) ultra modern SSN (like Astute, Virginia, Seawolf, or Suffren) which can cruise at 20 knots without the limitation of running out charge.
That is actually the most realistic way for a smaller navy to partially deter/deny US naval supremacy. By the very nature of subsurface warfare, a quite and modern SSN gives you an asymmetric advantage that you cannot obtain otherwise.

Building and operating one carrier strike group for one year is $28 billion dollars, more than TR military budget in a year. America has 9 of these.

I actually still share the opinion that the US is unmatched militarily, mainly due to America's absolutely insane mastery of logistics but aircraft carriers are not a good example. Even US military officials are expressing the opinion that spending money on them is a waste of time and they are just big targets nowadays.

No such thing exists, it’s vapor wave. They tried to fool people with a hand held taser and then just vanished.

Even if dont exist doest mean we cant make it , with nowdays tech Turkiye can make such selicone steath underwater drone smart weapon that warships can drop it and ir can stay inactive and activate it if is neccesary .

I have a gut feeling that project's being worked on by more capable people, on the down low.
Its neither singular to us, nor our first case for those kind of projects to be declared "dead" to the public, only for them to be perfected and operational in secret.

US Navy warship near Yemen intercepts multiple missiles, according to USN. However, the US media is reporting this using images from Istanbul. It's really interesting.

Why do i have a feeling that F-16s are not coming… Congrats to Greeks on their F-35s nonetheless.

"Parliament has struck down Sweden's ascension bid"

You heard it here first.

 

[Deliorman]

Hopefully all parties vote AGAINST it... Show these Swedes some democracy at play.

That is why going on with the S400 deal was the right one since at the very least it did give the message of "_I_ screw you" from the Turks to the double-standard American

Not to mention they confiscated our F35s.

The West aka the So called Free World is treating Turkiye as a pariah or an enemy just like Russia and China.

They only used us because we were useful against Russia now our use by date has passed now they see Turkiye as an enemy.

Turkiye should try build itself up economically, politically and militarily. Turkish soldiers should never be sacrificed for the EU, USA and Nato.

Turkiye really needs to put a plan in place for its independant destiny. Its the only way to go.

Lmao, I truly believe Erdogan would put his legacy before everything else

He would jump at the chance to call himself the saviour of Jerusalem, a second Saladin

The actual retard is trying to save face over his 24 hours speech by taking credit for drones attacking US soldiers. "What time was Biden's speech interrupted". What an actual retard

Like, this is something else. Turkish foreign policy is hostage to these egos

Once they had St John Philby, now they have this:

How the CIA failed Iranian spies in its secret war with Tehran

Gholamreza Hosseini got caught spying for the CIA in Iran. The story of how he was burned casts light on an epic U.S. intelligence failure.

www.reuters.com

This is a great read, I encourage everyone to read it. With a bonus section about Iran's surveillance of U.S. consulate in Istanbul which helped them catch a couple of spies.

President Erdogan: The developments we have encountered recently have once again reminded us of the need for reform of the United Nations. With the understanding of "The World is Bigger than Five", Turkiye will continue to contribute to the work to be done towards the establishment of a more just world order.
