No. Turkish ships in this graphic are part are part of UN mission UNIFIL for Lebanon and NATO SNMG-2. These task forces are not there to aid US CSGs. They are just NATO and UN affiliated task forces in the region. US’s possible actions in the region will not be under NATO as well.

Can you link me for the first one being delivered to JNGK? We know that one was sent to a JNGK base back in may for some tests but im not sure it was actually given to them. It was to be delivered in August.

Interesting that the third JNGK T625 is yet to see the sunlight. And 2 months left until end of the year.

Moon too!

Image that has stuck with me for the past two weeks is the photo of the two grandmas shot dead in a bus stop.

Sisi is still to some degree beholden to his military.

Looks like it can carry a zodiac or a smaller USV. I don’t think they showcased this model before, interesting.

Only “smart” munitions Turkey produces under license is Stinger I believe.

That can’t happen unless an even bigger power comes along. And that power will not be beholden to arbitration from its lessers anyway. Unless a benevolent alien power comes up, there’s no substitute for the UN. Post Pax Americana power blocs will also not solve this because they will always...

UN is not a forum of equals. It’s a place for world leaders to discuss, that’s it.
