I have been waiting for this since ages. I hope it is not a bogus news. I tend to think they want to protect the local people from retaliation. Otherwise why not announce it publicly on TV?

Let alone respect there must be no mercy for the opponents. Do you think they respect us?

That makes my day! Similar to what Russia did us. I hope we will take revenge from Russia one day.

Well, if we needed it so urgently why didnt we buy a Nato system in the last twenty years? Yes, we wanted technology transfer. Did. we get it from russians? This S400 debacle is one of the utter failures in recent history. Also the Turkish High Command wanted F35 and everything was prepared. So...

Well done! I am asking myself cant we somehow 7/24 observe the top terrorists like Karayilan, Kobani etc. to eliminate them. One would probably need more drones and personal to monitor for this.

F35 first deliveries were ready. They even had our flag on them. Without S400 we could still have obtained them. And without the ridicoulous "one minute" event, we would have obtained all and more. So that argument that they are against us, so they wouldnt have delivered, is not correct. This is...

Well, remember shortest lived Turkic state has existed 94 years. We are now 99 years old. So we are not doing that bad :)

These arguments make sense. I hope we will remain in good terms with Ukraine in the future ( we have to actually otherwise Russia will be spoiled) and get some more in return. The claim that we are doing this because AKP will lose, is weird. If the new government is that much traiterous, we have...

I think there is a problem in this kind of thinking. Let's say we were able to balance Rafale, F35, and F16V with our jets plus Mius etc. Each side have lost all their planes. Now within a week you will see 200 new planes probably together with some voluntary pilots on the Greece side. What will...

I agree. I think there must be some reasonable restrictions. On the other hand we should really treat our engineers well, with various perks on accommodation, transport, holidays etc. Otherwise, a brain drain will be catastrophic in the medium term.

So you think they are fundamentally against us and we cannot cooperate with them on anything? That is Hard to believe. What is the best strategy for us then?

I agree. This is a crucial point. I was explaining how Erdogan and his strategists are thinking. But this is a very simple balance strategy. We should go beyond that. I think if we are much harder against Iran and Russia, the West may be more accomodating to us. These aspects are much more...

Big question is when the Kandil will be taken down. And also Sinjar. It seems to me we need to increase the number of bordo bere special forces. We should also push back Iran proxies more in Iraq.

Our society has been in decline. People are spitting to the streets, they are aggressive, everywhere litter, so many dogs large like donkey in the streets and parks. No one would want to live there. We need to come to our senses and enforce an orderly, polite society and clean environment...

Erdogan would happily say F U to Putin and will corner him everywhere possible. The problem is the weird attitude of west which is not understandable. I mean these guys would not sell evem f16 s to a Nato member. As Turkey dropped russian plane they withdrew patriots from Turkey. So Turkey...

In any case it is unlikely that they will sell us any of those. Maybe if the government changes and towards 2030. We should have started the f16 modernization program much earlier. Even if f35 delivery was a sure thing, we should have done this. They keep saying they have plans a, b, c, and d. I...

Yes, it is overpriced. Why are we buying air to air missiles from these guys? If we cant integrate our missiles what use we have from those Planes? Imagine you run out missiles in the middle of war with Greece. Will US resupply us?

Even in build operate and transfer the ownership projects we lose Money because we promise a certain (and usually unrealistic) revenue. Also for the refugees you either pay cash or borrow money again to pay cash! The borrowing can be done in general terms. We are not talking here project or...

We have also spent 50 billion for refugees. And they are still dreaming of a totally useless Kanal Istanbul, which would cost 25 Billion. Whereas we only need 10 billion to build a formidable navy with local means.

Just for me to understand the costs for an OPV vs Milgem corvette. I think the percentage of national production was much lower for the corvette at the time of their building compared to now. Once we pay for the hull and the engine, what else there is that is so much costly? Assuming also we can...
