One can't really see the benefits, especially when the Turkish government said it won't abolish the Montreaux Convention. Who would pay a fee just to save a few hours journey?

I'm a little skeptical about that report, altough I can see the Germans selling tech to the Reds.

Well.....atleast they support them, lol While filling Russia's pockets through North Stream 2.

Greece will modernise most of its F16's before the F35 will arrive in the UAE.....IF it will ever arrive.

May the pilot Rest in Peace.

Norway's decision to consider Russia as a safe country and return illegal immigrants there created the legal,and logical, precedent for Turkey to.It might not please the extreme left and radical greens but it's ok,we can live with that. Also, Turkey became a de facto safe country when the EU...

There is no such thing as Chinese cheap loans, contrary to popular beliefs Western loans, IMF, WB,still offer the cheapest loans on the market. I've yet to see a country develop itself successfully with Chinese....with a huge influx of Chinese money for projects ,Chinese workers, imported...

Can someone pls summarise what did the Chinese say ?

They act like their borders are some Holy Grail that must never be under threat while borders of the Baltic countries, Poland, etc,must forever live with Iskander as a neighbour.

Never said they're a pushover. I think you need to gain airpower over them if you want to overcome shitload of artillery, barages of missiles, MLRS rockets, all probably drone guided by now,raining down on your ground forces.

Looking at the Russian supplies sent to the front lines we can see that the equipment isn't exactly top of the notch, high tech one but the Russian way of doing things is still one of a heavy bruiser intent on kicking in the door with sheer force.

Obviously the above projections are only projections,alot can happen and Turkey can turn things around but if they'll come true Turkey would have waisted 20 years for almost nothing. Recovery or not, the 2023 dreams (surpassing Spain in nominal GDP, etc) are dead and buried.

Thanks for the link, quite interesting and it reenforces what I've said . If the numbers in your link proove to be true for the 2021 2030 period it will be an unmitigated disaster for Turkey....imagine the Turkish economy only being barely 2xRomania in 2030 when they were x4.5 just 10-12 years ago.

With 16% year on year inflation (heading towards 20%), growth, even 5-6 % one, will be wiped out and,thus,nonexistent in GDP numbers.

Retired military personnel with sensitive information should be protected, else they might be targets of foreign secret services.

@Khagan1923 You keep mentioning Hungary. Hungary is a landlocked country, not a riparian nation in the Black Sea.

The Greeks are having a good laugh about the architect of Mavi Vatan being in jail.

It was only natural to list countries that were in the market for such ships.....but if you are truly convinced that the UK is looking for Turkish corvettes( or any corvettes ), best of luck to you

Apparently the Gawron is abandoned and the frigate programme is the top priority for the navy, superseding even the submarine programme, with a decision to be taken this year. https://defence24.com/polish-mod-launches-the-miecznik-programme-deal-expected-to-be-signed-in-a-few-months
