That used to be case until 2014. Russia claims Crimea EEZ as its own, something we disagree on. According to Russian view, Turkey and Ukraine are no longer sea neighbors. This doesn't change much re our own EEZ, but is a problem.

US failed to not allow China emerge as a power and will also fail at not allowing India. And that's not our problem. Security of Caucasus and Turkey is our problem. India slowly and steadily interfering in it is a problem.

As India's footprint grows, they will have more leeway to act and they no longer desperately need Israel's advanced hardware, they can now just buy it from US. There are plenty of things Israel can't do anything against. India getting its nose into the Caucasus is not good.

Neither Ukraine nor Russia would even look funny to any discovery Turkey makes on its own EEZ.

Enemy doesn't sleep. You can discount the new weapons they get. Will you say the same when they get Indian made SAMs they made with Israeli support? Azerbaijan needs to keep the qualitative and quantitative edge it has and end this war with the peace we need, by all means.

And even Turkish :) Thanks 37058444 for the effort tho.

Isn't there a mainly German led NATO brigade in Lithuania acting as a tripwire force? Deploy it to the gap. What's the big worry here? Germans acting up again? Outside of deployments, looks like we're basically where were we a century ago. Yay for fascism. Because this is what this is. No ifs...

I wish we had more info about what it entails. HvKK indeed have 20 Cougars, 6 of them are tasked with CSAR. Will those more specialized ones get a more special package? What about the 20+ something Cougars in use with KKK? Re HvKK Cougars, I believe all 20 have nose mounted FLIR and ground...

Not yet in a cost friendly manner that is scalable, as far as I understand. So others will take half of the pie while doing the minimum work. And so continues our journey. We sure like Canadians when it comes to extracting our wealth for us.

Canadian Trillion Energy to work on the Cudi Gabar fields.

I want to whisper into BMC's ears, "why can't you be like him?" For a country that makes its own tanks, aircraft and ships, a family of capable off road and on road chassis and engine setup can't be that hard. Tatra is basically living its best life at this time, especially in the defence market.

Yes, but Indonesia did directly mention 4 systems and a total of 12 Ankas. So at least 4 GCS as well.

I think it's 4 systems with 3 Ankas each.

A 2 year delivery time, damn that's long.

I wonder if they actually mean something like a Mk-48 or the Mk-56 like the Danish use for the fixed variant of Göksur. Somewhat standardizing the launcher would save cost for exports.

They can always pay Wagner to come in, kill few thousand people in exchange for some mining rights and send the issue to a decade away until their kids grow up and become jihadists.

Delays happen and they are to be expected. But saying a helicopter that did not yet take its 15k feet test will be given to gendarme for use, is iffy.

I doubt Sungur is cheaper than Stinger, for both the launcher and the missile. And Stinger is ancient tech, it's not what we are supposed to compare Sungur to. Americans are gonna replace it soon as well.

True, but this is also a part of the thing. Some are believers, most aren't. Look how ANCA works with every single people with power in US. This is all soft power. A kind of soft power we can't dream to have. https://anca.org/congress/pete-sessions-594-114/

It's actually worse in Turkey, because even when the contracts are signed, most of the time the details aren't public.
