I am not sure. But we asked for Meteor with the Eurofighters we ordered.

And Greece is pressuring France again. They summoned the French ambassador.

Without firing a single bullet in Syria, Israel first raised its flag and then built its military base on Syrian soil...

I wrote here 3 months ago that Israel would border our troops but everybody laughed dumb again LoL hAhAhA etcetera.

You guys should see the behind the curtains. Nobody could stop us in the region - not Russia, not Iran.

Thats why they send Israel.

Yet Turkey was supposedly the mastermind behind the rebel takeover? Couldn't they see this coming. They're covering the truth up, I think we will only know the truth once Erdo gets removed from power.

And the other countries involved in the METEOR project will exert enormous pressure on France to conclude this deal.
Don't forget: EU armaments projects stand or fall with their cooperation!
England, Italy & Co and France, Germany & Co are already going their separate ways on the GEN 6 aircraft and this will continue.
I give the EU another 20 years and it will only exist on paper in the form of bilateral trade and a few basic laws.

We gave our technical list to them for the Eurofighter and are waiting for a price proposal.

KAAN
Eurofighter
F-16

No wonder Greece is pissed.

Turkey awaiting price proposal for possible Eurofighter jet purchase, Turkish source says

I'm not sure why Greece is so scared, it's not like the Turkish army couldn't steamroll them in a 1 v. 1 regardless if it came to that. A few more missiles more or less aren't gonna stop Lieutenant Dimitrios from getting marched down the streets of Athens with a gun pointed at his head if Greece is stupid enough to pick a fight with Turkey.

I think that the technical knowledge they gained is probably one of the reasons.
They are aware that the Gökhan RAMJET missile is under development, and through the METEOR missile, especially because of the seeker or the GEL fuel, Turkey could gain knowledge that could significantly help with its air-to-air missiles.

For Greece, Turkey was more controllable with imported US weapons within certain limits, see the countless embargoes and sanctions by USA & Europe due to the pressure of the Greek/Armenian and partly Israeli lobby in USA and Europe.
That's over now, they all know that they are up to their necks in shit, otherwise they wouldn't want to block it by all means.

Greece always wants people to do their dirty work for them.

That is self delusional. As it stands right now,on paper, the Greek Armed forces are superior in many chapters to the Turkish ones,and,more than enough to deter agression on a defence only basis.

Not bashing on Turkie's Armed Forces but thinking you could "steamroll" a nation with some 200+ 4,4+,5th(incoming) generation fighter jets,thousands of tanks ( ranging from modern to older models),Patriot AA and other AA batteries, artillery, men willing to fight, etc,it's delusional

Superior in many chapters, really?

 

[Bilge adam reis]

Maybe in air but in every other aspect Turkish army is superior to greek navy or their outdated land force.

 

[Costin1984]

Yes,as of now,tanks,fighter jets,AA systems.....It's another discussion when Turkyie proceeds to induct It's own homegrown systems....
