Well the "expert" consensus at the time was to buy enough Patriot systems to at least be able to cover against events like these and fill up the remaining demand with Hisar-Siper and later own our own ABDM (Siper Block 3).

Maybe some of the people calling those who asked for those purchases to be made a decade ago ( and yes the US cleared us buying the Patriot system twice in a decade) every insult available to the human race might finally exit their heads out of the asses of those they call "leaders".

And now it is too late, with demand this high any purchase of an ABM system would take a decade to deliver, better off waiting for Siper Block 3 and hoping until then we have others shoot BM down for us.

Ironicly the ones who were screaming that the Soba boru would get activated and set up for events like these and it chilling in a hanger in god knows where is standart procedure suddenly are now declaring those who ask where S-400 system is want it to be destroyed, HUH?

I thought the S-400 was the uber air defence system of our time and now suddenly it isn't good enough to defend our skies against ballistic missiles?

About an hour ago an Iranian representative on a daily press conference(Al-Jazeera) stated that Türkiye Northern-Cyprus and Azerbaijan have not been targeted by Iranian missiles.
So,what does this say about these incidents?
There's no doubt that both BMs were fired from Iran. Second communique directly mentions Iran this time around as well. It's either elements in IRGC sending retaliations everywhere, rogue elements or Israelis on the ground inside Iran are aiming 1000km BMs at Turkey. What's certain is 2 BMs from Iran was sent to Turkey.

Its Iran, its always Iran. Same people who armed the pkk with loitering munition to take down Turkish drones and choppers.

These people if they had the choice to save themselves, or blow up but lightly damage a Turk while doing it would choose to get blown up.

People have no idea how deep of a inferioty complex this country and majority of its people have against Turks and anything Turkish.

Iran wouldn't shy away 1 second of teaming up with Israel if it meant to damage Turkey, see ypg in syria.

One positive side of this war is threat of ballistic missiles has gone down. If iran goes down in civil war or a new pro western government comes to power than their ballistic missile program is history. Only the israelis have air launched ballistic missile but they are a bit easier to combat

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani has described Iran's strikes on Gulf countries as a "dangerous miscalculation"

"It is a big sense of betrayal," he told me. "Just an hour after the start of the war, Qatar and other Gulf countries have been attacked. We made clear that we were not going to take part in any wars against our neighbours."

Having disaffected the Gulf countries by attacking them + Cyprus + Iraq(?), and having just elected a hardline Supreme Leader to carry on previous policies, has Iran condemned itself to being bombed back into the stone age as fast as the US and Israel can do so?

my guess is they know that their regime will end so they want to create as much chaos as possible. ( A drowning man will pull you down with him)

5th columns within iran that have access to BMs maybe? Could be.

If that's true, then I don't think people understand the possible implications of this. If there are rogue elements in Iran that have their hands on BMs, we can't just sit still, in that case we have to invade or at least set up CAP and ISR over northern Iran where there are still many SAMs to locate the launch sites and TELs.

I have a question: how likely is a false flag attack from Iranian territory?
Iran could indeed attack Turkey deliberately, but I cannot understand why a country that is currently being bombed would want to bring a third, very powerful party into play in order to finally bomb it back to the Stone Age. From Iran's point of view, this makes no sense whatsoever, regardless of the US bases in Turkey.

For the US/Israel, it would be a godsend if Turkey also bombed Iran, preferably with Turkish ammunition. What is used up cannot be reproduced so quickly. I am afraid that, whether it is a false flag or not, if this happens again and again, Turkey will have to react to save face, otherwise it will lose credibility in its defence.

Maybe i am wrong, but if there is evidence of Iran shot missile to turkey, but Iran still say there isnot, the one who lose credibility in its defence should be Iran.

Turkey has AN/TPY-2 radars at Kurecik Radar Station. Are these operated by the Turkish Army or the US? If the latter, does Turkey have any say on if these are used to protect Israel, given that it is a non-NATO country?

Refer to page 108.

No. All air defence systems and early warning radars in Turkey(except the nonoperational S400 battery in Mürted) operate under the BHHM/CAOC Torrejon which answers to Ramstein at the moment. There's a subunit in Eskişehir at 1st AJÜ and all information goes through there, allowing Turkey full access. Entirety of Turkey's air defense picture along with batteries and the squadrons tasked with defending the airspace is under NATO. In a world where a BM takes at most 10 minutes from launch to impact, there's simply no time to discuss plans of action or ask for permission from respective governments. NATO(in this case the Joint NATO Air Defence Command based in Torrejon of which Turkish servicemen is also a part of per rotation) just defends directly as it sees fit by monitoring and tasking the most fit and closest units. This could be an American Burke, the Spanish Patriot in İncirlik, or the future Siper B3 in Diyarbakır. It's the same Torrejon CAOC that tasks Turkish F-16s to intercept drones coming from Black Sea, or tasking Turkish F-16s deployed to Romania to intercept drones coming from the east. All the E-3 flights that take off from Konya for months and watch south or east are also tasked under the same CAOC.

NATO of course gives information to Israel, it's an ally of NATO. But TPY-2 in Kürecik hardly helps Israel, that's another matter. Radar was placed there to keep track of Russian and Iranian BMs launched at European NATO. Regardless same air picture is used by the American destroyers off the coast of Israel intercepting BMs right this second, same as the American destroyer that intercepted the BM over Turkey today. This is NATO working as intended, giving Americans full view of things while also helping our own defense. Rest is politics.

Any chance of Turkish Air strikes on Iran in response to these ballistic missile attacks?
I don't think there will be any military response from Turkey.
Even after the second missile was shot down, I still believe Iran wouldn't attack any targets on Turkish territory in such a critical situation. Yes, they're fanatics, but they're not idiots. Only complete idiots would attack Turkey.
Note: The Iranians have admitted to attacks on Arab countries. But they don't admit to this regarding Turkey, Azerbaijan, Southern Cyprus. Incidentally, after several strikes, the British still claim Iran had nothing to do with the attacks on their bases (!)
It's difficult to determine who launched the drones that attacked our territory and from where. But it's safe to say they came from Iran.
Determining the launch site of ballistic missiles is not difficult. Knowing two points—the launch site, the impact point after the missile was shot down, the altitude at the time of the shootdown, and the missile's technical characteristics—we can fairly accurately calculate where it was launched and where it was aimed. The type of warhead the missile carried also matters. I think the Turkish military likely knows where it was launched from and where it was aimed.

We simply don't have enough information.
