Dear members, forget about NATO! I cannot believe that you believe NATO will help us. NATO will still stay among themselves as NATO. It won't end because they don't help us against Israel. We should be happy if they don't help Israel, but US and Greece will certainly do. Greece can become active...
Well, we certainly won't build 50 batteries of Steal Dome to protect Hamas! If Israel is just after Hamas, then the whole problem would be easy to solve for us. They want to divide Syria and establish there a PKK state. So for a modest benefit for them they are putting us to a great...
Because of the mistakes made in the past, Turkey may not be in the best form currently to respond to Israel/US the way they deserve. But our eyes have been opened, when those people in Israel whom (or whose relatives) we have accepted and protected from persecution in the past are calling for...
Btw. after attacking Iran Israel realized they can do the same to us with a bit more difficulty, but certainly within their capability. That‘s why they put Iran aside for now. So my humble suggestion: stop building patrol vessels and mugem. Instead build AD systems, ballistic missiles etc like...
Excellent analysis. It is a pity we have beaten about the bush since 2018 and did not upgrade our air force. Not even f16 modernization was completed. Now comes the penalty for it.
A question to those forum members with military knowledge: Defence ministry says they are ready 24/7. Say we send our troups to north Syria against YPG/SDF and Israel sends its jets to bomb them. To what extent our AD systems like Hisar/Korkut etc. can protect our soldiers? Or should we then...
Anyone heard about Flamingo cruise missile developed by a group of friends in construction, game design, and architecture in Ukraine (according to Wikipedia)? It seems to be a joke! The missile has a 3000km range and 1100kg war head. Accuracy 14m. Developed in 3 years! Now my question. We have...
Also, now that I think about it, I realize nothing of significance has been achieved in terms of defence capabilities between 1950 and 2000, and maybe 2010. Also not much in terms of industry, technology, etc. They begun research in the nuclear area in 1960s but nothing came out of it. Amazing...
Without US help and Israel's nukes, we will prevail over Israel even if their air force is superior to us. Because we will eventually destroy their airports and runways, and then the war will switch to land and the sea where we have an advantage. But Israel will get substantial US help, and if...
I agree with you, we need more Istif frigates and TF2000 destroyers. But they won't cancel it, as it is sort of a prestige project. It may still be useful for places like Libya, Somalia etc. It is quite big for a drone carrier and has enough place, so instead of 32VLS they should consider 64 or...
Currently this is indeed the case. And they are a formidable enemy. In one sense this is good, we will need to work much harder to improve. In other sense it can be lethal for us. One thing is clear. It all started with „one minute“. Again coming back to my motto. You only poke a sleeping lion...
This is indeed unacceptable and unbelievable. Indonesia should have obtained the two after our two batches. It seems they don't view a naval war likely with Greece under Trump. Still, I don't understand many things they are doing. I thought at least Navy's decisions were good, but was proven...
I don't agree with what you are trying to imply. AKP has nothing to do with zionism (btw. I am a Zafer party voter). This is conspiracy theory like hypothesis. AKP tried to look friendly to Europe initially and of course tried not to anger US to stay in power. But fundamentally given their...
This is not getting vocal. It is low tone complaining. They are asking others to finish Israel's aggressions, this is what "...saldirilarin sonlandirilmasi saglanmali.." They are not even asking Israel directly to stop its agressions. This is where we are. I am asking where our strategists are...
P
Patriots are in the minority in Turkey unfortunately. And they are busy attacking each other due to small differences in their views. As I often say, „Lands of Anatolia is fertile, more than grass traitors grow in it“ or in Turkish it is the best: „Münbittir Anadolu topraklari, ot dan cok...
Yes, Turkey was so close to it 8 months ago. They should have used the momentum at the time and take at least Rakka and Deyrizor fully. These are arab cities. This would have made the PKK autonomy there much less likely. We could have even conquered Kobani. But these things had to happen quickly...
are you suggesting I am an AKP troll? If so, you should look at my previous messages and also think about what AlperTunga signifies. Erdogan has made some errors in the Syria policy at the time but these were not easy to avoid, and it'd go too far to consider those as treason. He made up for it...
I am not a fan of Erdogan but I think the state has realized they cannot stop a federal state in Syria. That‘s why they started the reconciliation process with PKK. Given strong US and Israel backup, the cost of attacking SDF will be very high for Turkey. Especially, economically it will be...
