It’s part of Spain’s Dedalo task group. An Albaro de Bazan class frigate from the task force is also in Izmir. Group will start in Turkey and Greece, patrol in east med, Italy, west Med and then Atlantic. https://x.com/cetinelmete/status/1780606851119231165?s=46&t=7tiosvwkaTbbgoSMbRgrzA

Bide our time, be nice with EU, stall Greek efforts. Russia doesn’t have air superiority over Ukraine. Both sides have extensive AA and shit aircraft. A possible Turkish Greek war won’t be a counter insurgency war like Vietnam or Afghanistan but a peer to peer conflict. And more than likely...

THY got 6 A350s Aeroflot ordered but couldn’t receive due to sanctions in 2022. First 4 was almost ready to be delivered and already painted so they flew with an incomplete Aeroflot livery for few months. If unchanged they still have the Russian seating with more business seats, different than...

You fight with the weapons you have, not the weapons you will have in 5 years. And it doesn’t matter how you received your weapons, they are lethal whether you built them yourself or got them through a deal with the devil. they have their Meteor equipped Rafales today, while we will have 25...

After 2020-2022, Greece now have a treaty alliance with France. During the crisis, Saudis and Emiratis forward deployed their fighters in Greece in support. Our Libya campaign was stalled in Sirte and we had to accept a ceasefire. Since 2022, Turkey is trying to correct the mistakes it did since...

B-1B is not nuclear capable anymore. Only about half of B-2s and small number of B-52s are.

They could protest and even declare war on us, but Iran bombing İncirlik is not bombing US, it’s bombing Turkey. 2 B-1s forward deployed from Spain for two weeks is not what US trusts to achieve firepower superiority.

“Blue Homeland” already is changed and Turkey no longer follows with the moves and actions of 2020-2022. You’ll see that all the proponents of the doctrine also no longer get promoted by gov affiliated channels.

Can’t buy used F-16s without American greenlight and a Typhoon will always be a better match for a Rafale than any F-16.

Multiple shell companies, banks, tourism agencies have been doing that since the war started. Gas in the planned "gas hub" is by and large Russian gas. we've been lowering it lately because US is threatening with economic sanctions and offering carrot and a stick. It's the same with Armenia...

None of the body lines match. Exposed bulletproof glass panels looks like something Streit would build. Only twitter pages sharing this video are nonsense news ones, no local ones from Kosovo or TR, or defence media. let's see.

I don't know what those are but they are not Cobra IIs.

Well, this ought to shake things up a little. Idlibi civilians should take cover.

Iraqi and Syrian tezkere was already extended for 2 more years back in late 2023. And doesn't really matter as AKP still has a majority in the parliament.

yep. Delays in army, army aviation and other aircraft are pretty much apparent in shipbuilding as well. I believe this is the lowest number of active duty major combatants we had since 70s. Hopefully rest of Istif Class won't be delayed.

Another VBIED attack in Azez, 7 dead, 30 injured civilians.

We simply can't delegate that many men and resources to Iraq. That's why they are going for this with forced cooperation of Iraqis and KDP.

Might be related to them being under occupation of 2 superpowers at the same time. No significant Armenian or Greek minority remains in Izmir. Per 1881 census, Armenian population of Aydın Vilayet(modern day İzmir, Manisa, Aydın, Denizli and Muğla) was about ten thousand, or 1 percent of the...

Can't end soon enough. I'm tired of seeing and hearing election stuff on the street.

As the resident Otokar and Koç shill and traitor to the republic, let me chime in. About 300 of 1000 vehicles will be built directly in Turkey if Otokar wins. For a deal this big, literally every customer on the planet will want some localization. It's the same thing as FNSS building a factory...
