The photo was taken after the flood waters somewhat retreated. Some of those choppers were probably in a worse situation while it was raining.Pretty much salvageable. Water level is below the fuselage for most cases in the photos.

We should completely stop the F-16 process with the USA and focus on our own solutions. Above all else, It is too late to sign a contract.
This is not just Erdogan going in headlong as we grown accustomed. He met with MBZ a day before he said this. Iraqi "development corridor" might be one of the pawns between UAE and Saudi's influence checkers game.Another big trouble coming
Even India can be made to adjust to a more central position on this as they are accustomed.
Nope. It might have been possible if the Erdogan admin didnt go out of its way to wreck the Turkish economy to the level it is now extremely beholden to KSA and UAE forex support and the associated 180 reversals suddenly taken in relations. Where in the 1- 10 scale those changes are taken credibly by the Gulf states, one is free to speculate.
The Gulf states always bring this up when Turkey comes up (when it rarely does happes) for conversation with India nowadays.
As long as the Erdogan admin is there and Turkish economy is in the state it is in and is unable to put up money for international infra projects with the forex level it has.... it will not be treated as a serious party.
The Arabs are also very interested in improving relations with Israel (Haifa port, now owned by Indian conglomerate) to counter Iran...and the US is interested in strengthening the Abraham accords.
This is all going to provide the impetus and inertia.
If Turkiye wanted to do better as a route, it should have done better core economically in the last decade (and this one). Instead you see the results for yourself. Instead it didn't even make wise investments regarding capital allocation for oil refining (as I talked about in the economy thread)....and then the Erdogan admin did a number of foreign policies that deteoriated relations with all these parties: KSA, UAE, India, Israel, US.
Like you can do one of the two and try recover, not both.
So this is case of objection noted and objection ignored. Make yourself matter in the next decade (2030 - 2040) at least after base recovery in this one, put up your own core funding for what you want to see and we will then see.
In that case china's and Mexicos GDP are almost in the same league and geopoliticaly china is a super power while Mexico is Mexico.The sheer size of the economy and what opportunities they provide to your partners is the important one. @Nilgiri was just pointing that I thinkHarsh words. I had to look up to see if there has been an economic miracle in India recently to justify the tone but it seems Indian GDP per capita is still worse than a quarter of the Turkish one. I suppose it's getting there.
I don't think these routes are serious proposals to begin with as the high cost due to multiple modality changes is self-evident. They are more like geopolitical statements to give a sense of self-importance to India (in case they don't have enough already) and tie together the countries in the route, such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Israel.
Well in that case Luxembourg should be the most powerful and influential superpower on earth since it's GDP per capita is highest on the planet.Harsh words.
