Nice and i was asking myself not so long ago why we don't exercises with the Tunisian Special Forces. 😄

Solution is that everyone which had a proven connection to PKK has to be banned from politics. This includes praising, promoting seperatist statements. No matter which party.

Öcalans family members are in this Party, Demirtas's brother is in the mountains, Party members meet with wanted terrorists this party needs to be closed entirely. They had their chances to cut ties with PKK but no they laid their backs on YPG, YPJ etc. instead. Democracy is just a easy facade...

We have a limited budget people tend to forget that. What is the priority and what is not that's the question, i would say... Modernizing the Navy. TF-X. Missile projects. A AC is something we can talk about when all the important stuff is developed, constructing a dock now is ridiculous...

With airbases on Cyprus and Libya we can reach nearly everything in the Mediterranean, so either Turkey has ambitions for power projection in the Indian Ocean/East Africa or it's just a prestige project.

And we send Soldiers without aircover to stop SAA and Russian advance and gave martyrs, for that? Happened not the first or second time by the way...

For a aircraft carrier strike groups the Turkish combat fleet needs to be much bigger, we are not the UK or France who don't have any hostile neighbours, our geography is a little bit different. If a AC is planned then i would guess that the combat fleet in our own waters needs to be at least...

BMP-1? i'm more talking about IFV's such as the new BMC 8X8, Tulpar, Kaplan-20... Do you actually know what a 30mm round would do to terrorists hidding behind walls? or airburst ammo?

For urban warfare you better choose a IFV, Tanks are not really that effective.

Urban warfare? The L55 is just 1.3m longer than the L44 and has 20% more penetration. The L44 is in no way obsolete but if you can add L55 you better do it. MKE hopefully starts working on 130mm gun which has 50% more penetration power compared to the L55. Especially for Altay T3 a good option.

I will say it again Security Forces need to start cleaning operations from Edirne till Hakkari, that in Esenyurt is just one of probably hundreds.

Another reason why Turkey needs a bigger fleet is to protect it's merchant ships and crews in such regions. The same source claims that the Pirates killed one engineer, just send SAT and deal with those thugs accordingly.

😍🤤

The T1 kit provides enough protection, just add some Akkor APS and your good to go. A totally new turret is expensive then you could also invest a little more and build Altay. Modernization has to be affordable you can't invest ~ 50% of Altay's cost to modernize a 30-40 year old Tank. It makes...

I don't know how to feel about Altay turret on Leopard2, Roketsan presented the more cost efficient solution with the T1 add-on armor kit.

I doubt that this conflict is over not until total crushing victory so Azerbaijan better keeps building up the Armed Forces with Turkish support and rely more on Turkish hardware than Soviet/Russian/Belarus stuff. When both countries operate same systems it would make it much easier to share...
