If it hasn't been decided already that U.S. will enter the conflict and Netanyahu fails to drag them into it and it remains a limited and short engagement, then this was done for populist reasons by Netanyahu against the long-term interests of Israeli national interests, as such an engagement will not be able to stop Iranian enrichment program while giving them ample ground to pursue the bomb later in more secret and even deeper underground facilities.

P.S. The caveat is that Israel is now flying Hermes over the center of the capital; they now know Iranian air defence is a joke and they can treat it like Syria, making intelligence-gathering and sabotage of such a program much easier. But I still believe the sheer size of the country makes it almost impossible to stop such a program even with the kind of air dominance Israel has.

Shame for Russia, Tahran is not Hostomel.
If Israeli have airborne forces like Russia does, they could land the troops and destroy all important things while on the ground.
If Israeli knew how incompetent these people are, probably they would have such unit.
Oh dear dear God

The aging of our airforce fleet is forcing us to go Iran route, namely, missile proliferation. It should be a short-term solution, hopefully.

BREAKING: Turkish President Erdogan:

We’re now planning missile production to raise our medium- and long-range stockpiles to a credible deterrent level.

Soon, we’ll reach a defense capacity that no one will dare challenge.

We’ve entered the phase of producing our systems in quantities that truly reinforce our deterrence.

If you’re not strong politically, socially, economically, and militarily, you lack deterrence—and you’re vulnerable.

As a nation, we’d rather die than live in shame. Better to rest with honor beneath the soil than live dishonorably above it.

Tbh, these are imperative regardless of the state of AF.

But I am a bit skeptical about the acquisition scale and the process of TSK.

Realistically speaking, a credible deterrent stockpile of 1000 Tyfun and 500 chenk should be available by 2033 ideally. That would require multi-billion dollars contracts. Like the Poland is doing it.

While Turkish defence industry continue to deliver azmaning top of the line solutions and capabilities, TSK's resources for procurement of those at scale seems to be limited. This is reflected in the number of AD systems that has been ordered so far imo.

Recents conflicts makes it clear that there is no alternative to quantities. Technology provide edge in a different way but does not substitute for quantities.

Iranian army looks REALLY pathetic right now.
Israel air forces 1500 km from home are doing whatever they want. I didnt expect that.

i'm hoping next year that further contracts are going to be signed. i think army wanted to evaluate and design a doctrine that suits them best and every year now budget is going up i mean 2023(23$) 2024(41$) 2025(47) also aselsan and roketsan are investing heavily into their production capabillity with new production sites luckily for us their managment is capable

Greece is in NATO, so Turkey will not attack it... Oh, wait...

Cyprus is an EU country, so Turkey will not occupy half the island/official EU country for 50 years... Oh, wait...
Turkey and Greece haven't been in war since 1924, and haven't been actively shooting each other since 1974 after Greek coup and invasion of Cyprus failed. So yes, two being in NATO do keep the tensions down.

Onus there is on EU for accepting a country with unresolved territorial and governmental disputes against their own rules.

Wait, Cyprus wasn't in EU 1974? Or maybe, you know something that I don't?
