is it a good idea to sell serbia baykar drones ?
I mean, things are really tense in balKans right now! If they use these against bosnia in any future conflict not just it would be a foreign policy disaster for turkey. but also, the very important cultural ties with bosnia will be damage severely.

Well, our recent history is full of foreign policy disasters!

UAE will make cheap copies of it and try to squeeze Baykar out of the market. Or sell it to Russia and China and other Turkish opponents.

Astoundingly bad move.

Russia has much better back ground of making a copy yet there is nothing acquired out of captured tb2s.
Having tb2 is something, knowing how to use it it compeletely different.
Without munitions tb2 especially akinci means almost nothing.
Do you think they dare to copy those platform that cause logistics risks.
By Having this deal baykar can open up New possibilities in companies like
Baykar
Aselsan
Roketsan
Havelsan
Tubitak sage and many more.

Astoundingly bad move.

This depends on the extent of technology transfer they will obtain. Electronic warfare , AI, and sensor technology improves at a high speed. If Baykar uses that 2bn wisely, in five years UAE would be stuck with outdated technology. Unless they attract our engineers! So it all depends, we have to be careful.

Swedish Prime Minister Andersson announces he will resign after election defeat




Aftonbladet newspaper claimed that the prime minister of the new government would be Conservative Party leader Ulf Kristersson and that experienced politician Carl Bildt, who had previously served as Foreign Minister in the country for many years, would be appointed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

On the other hand, the Swedish media claimed that the government in question was more interested in the NATO agreement with Turkey and that the possible government was the worst scenario for the supporters of the terrorist organization PKK/YPG.

I am little bit surprised our turkish freinds here didn't gave that much attention on a recent development in Cyprus! They are buying the iron dome from Israel. I think it is destabilizing in the region and pose a notable threat to turkish interest and national security.

the radar EL/M 2084 has similar capability to aslesans ERIS. which likely to be used indirectly by israel and greece to surveil deep into anatolian airspace.

We have too many people simping for Israel that they wont make a voice about it thats why.

Then again we will find ways to counter the iron dome.

Israel is a threat to our interests in the Middle East and the Eastern Med.

Foreign Minister Çavuşoğlu said that the news about the deployment of the iron dome defense system to the Greek Cypriot part was denied by Israel.

I have no doubts that TAF is capable of taking out iron dome. Actually, those interceptor won't be able to threaten turkish jets. However, I am talking about the radar itself. It may work as some kind of early warning instalation for israel and greece. I mean, the situation is quite similar to 1997. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypriot_S-300_crisis#:~:text=The%20Cypriot%20S%2D300%20crisis,early%201997%20and%20late%201998.&ved=2ahUKEwintJHDy5j6AhWnBbcAHYAWDPEQFnoECAYQBQ&usg=AOvVaw2u6VTZbQNuxg55lgD0tn5C

The radar should only give marginal additional capability over existing capabilities.

Yeah! But I was suprised that, in 1997 turkey literally threatened to take out that s300 battery. But this time there wasn't that much of concerns over the iron dome.

Different times different policies.

Because, in return, Turkiye can fill Turkish Republic of Cyprus with missiles and ammunition.

Breaking news! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...BKAB6BAgJEAI&usg=AOvVaw0sYAl_SXrERbeSCnEVHWy7 I think this is good. At least, it is some sort of solution after a bloody decade of war. And turkey now has the leverage in negotiation's table.

This is also a good news ! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...EoAHoECAoQAg&usg=AOvVaw3li4XpYpXYN43UT4kkLrjm

Rumors indicate that both Egypt and Saudi Arabia are also interested in joining the Shanghai Co-operation organisation

It can be a good starting point. However, I reckon this is more about the short-term rather than a full rapproachment.

"Accelerating the political solution" reads like "decelerating the military (non)solution" given the context in the article. Said context lays out the joint Turkish-Russian interest in managing the military-power vacuums that open up as Russia considers taking some of its military away from Syria.
Given that after a series of threats about launching a new operation into Syria, Erdogan still said "diplomacy with Assad isn't out of question", it seems to me that both TR and RUS are telegraphing (each in their own style, I guess) that when either Turkish or Syrian soldiers spot one another on the field, their orders won't be to shoot. At least, for the time being.
