Plus 3/4 prototypes. Is is remarkable that none of the prototypes has crashed even though they pushed them to the extremes. Even more when considering that this is their first big platform.
I am not a Turk, but looking at it from the outside. What choices do you have? The opposition is complete shit. There is no real alternative?
once again, the saying “Turks are their own worst enemies” is holding true. Unfortunately.
Turkey has also for the past many operations been very slow with the preparation work. Likely to minimize human cost.
Also, the enemy has extensive tunnel network and ATGMs. Turkey really wants to map those out to avoid nasty ambushes.
I hope not. Maybe it was part of the strategy. Make PKK scramble, intercept their comm. and movements, map their key locations and then come suddenly one night when they are unprepared.
Thank you, @Zafer.
The map is becoming really crowded and the color combinations increasingly complex. Have you thought of creating 4 seperate maps? 1. TB2 operators/interest 2. Akinci operators/interest 3. ANKA operators/interest and 4. AKSUNGUR operators/interest?
I would personally remove...
A majority of those 1.4 billion will be old and senile. You blew it. China already lost to the US. With the demographic collapse facing China, the US will prevail.
2-3 trillion cubic meters will not put turkey in the heavyweight league of countries with large gas reserves. Only if 3-5 more such fields are found, Turkey will become a major energy hub
