The MoD stated that they want an additional 15 commando brigades.
Pretty sure this is in regards to an increasing role in NATO.
There's been heaps of fearmongering spread over X by accounts that are seeking engagement to make money, saying that Turkiye is the next Iran, etc. I wouldn't take any of this seriously, we're firmly entrenched in the western economic block. Iran on the other hand, actively fought against it.
Look who visited two weeks ago lol
It's also worth noting that Erdogan has a very good relationship with Trump. Trump wanting to leave NATO has nothing to do with us, it's about his frustration with the EU, Canada and the UK. Don't take pro-Israeli trolls or fearmongers seriously. X is a cesspit of lies made worse by a horrendous algorithm which rewards controversy over truth.

Due to military security and protocols, the current and definitive military personnel roster or exact headcount for any brigade is not shared via “open sources.” However, it is known that, in accordance with the organizational structure standards of the Turkish Armed Forces and depending on the type of brigade, the standard military personnel strength ranges from 3,000 to 5,000 personnel (in peacetime). As a slightly more reliable estimate, I believe that in certain cases these lower and upper limits can be adjusting by approximately 10%.
Roughly speaking, we are talking about an additional force of between 50,000 and 80,000 troops—a size nearly equivalent to an entire army, and in terms of personnel, one that approaches the total military strength of most European armed forces. This is undoubtedly a major expansion and a bold move that will extend the professional army’s regional influence to broader territories. My hope is that one aspect of this expansion will involve the Marine Corps, and that the Naval Forces will be given priority in overseas basing and deployment strategies.

The former US counterterrorism director (whose wife trained the YPG as a member of US special forces) stated that the US would withdraw from NATO to fight alongside Israel if Turkey were to go to war with Israel in Syria.
The important questions here are no longer about Article 5 of NATO. The crucial point is that the US establishment has put going to war with Turkey on its agenda.
