    OK, a NATO where the US is the top dog, not only gives a security umbrella, a sense of security but tags you a huge label that reads ‘untouchable‘. When the top dog vacates the shelter, it won’t be the same. The only title contender for the position I can think of would be France, which i must...

    Bro, we haven’t been helping anyone, tbh. And Turkey, on the contrary, should always do the maximum as we’re always carry the burden of proving our ‘worth’, a fact I personally abhor. We had to be in NATO. It sheltered us (well, theUS, to be precise). It was good. We gonna need to be in the...

    Abi I never doubt that. In some form or another, be it a military organization or be it defense cooperation, joint dev and production, they will knock on that door. But, if worse comes to worst they will visit individually one by one. Oh, don‘t get me wrong. I don’t mind what Greeks do. In...

    😄 I’d easily say hey, it’s politics and merrily go on my way but when I see such a blunder can’t help but see that when push comes to shove, EU is a joke that had been proven over decades. They‘re still unaware of the things they’re to face without the USA security umbrella.

    I think this one is our doing. Turkey will be needing a NATO insurance for a rather unknown period of time. In fact, this is why there was not a fanfare. If it was a full fledge NATO project, it would’ve been brought up to public. A European military force without France and Germany seems not...

    Oh yes, of course. Again, its sounds like something pushed by Turkish Joint Chiefs of Staff to gain some military influence and also some political leverage within NATO.

    @Yasar_TR abi, I believe kamikaze drones demonstrated the both ends their reliability hence viability on those two wars. In Ukraine where both sides depleted their high tier weapon and military structures, they did their intended jobs up to a certain degre if not dominated the battlefield...

    It won’t be as dirt cheap as Shahed but definitely cheaper than TB2. T2 seems like a new Turkish attempt at UCAV doctrine catalog. Not exactly flat out kamikaze while also neither an expensive long range smart weapon such as a cruise missile. A swarm as loitering kamikazes or like @Kaan Azman...

    Somebody, please, put an end to this guy’s misery! “S-400s are integrated and active in our steel sky. If we wanted, we would shoot it. And we hit very badly. NATO's strike is valuable. At least NATO should be useful.” Ignorance is bliss but this guy already passed misinformation...

    Key points to watch out here and makes me really happy are expendable and attritable classifications. @Kaan Azman in his article and @Sanchez at his post, pointed out this distinction. According to Anıl Şahin there will be two versions. One expandable (kamikaze) and one attritable version...
