Unless they themselves intervene and use these weapons it isnt going to make a difference. What difference would there be in M1 Abrams and T-72 in the hands of LNA if they use it in the exact same manner. Given Egypt's past track records i dont even think that it would make a difference either...
This isnt anything new. They have been trying to get these for so many years that it practically had become a meme among Greek/Turkish users. The list of weapons they were to be "donated" was ridicilous ranging from decommisioned destroyers/frigates till F-15's all the way to M1 Abrams... and...
Lol who do you think they are buying these against?
Egypt is basicaly an army with a dysfunctional state at this point. Its a shame relations are strained because cooperation between Turkey and Egypt would have been extremely benefitial for both sides.
And people were accusing me of tribalism not to long ago when i pointed out the sheer incompetence and corruption in giving the contract to BMC. For the love of god just give it to Otokar and start pumping out some much needed Tanks already. Our national security should be top priority!
Preach. Any one of those sites that try to boil everything down to matter of quantity and rankings list is fundementally flawed. More often then not they have surface level knowledge as to sound they know what they are talking about, when in reality they dont.
Calm down drama queen. No genocide in any way or form will happen. I wouldnt think an Iranian out of all people would fall for this western propaganda narrative. No Turk would ever condone such an action. We go there, clean up YPG militants and resettle refugees. That simple.
Pretty sure most turret systems are third party. They can probably be implemented on existing Pars platforms just as easy if the need is there. But yeah its a fair criticism to say we are seriously lacking in the area of advanced turret systems, which is kinda obvious considering we used a third...
I have no doubt in my mind the US has such an ongoing policy. After all, if you have a similar one going for your own NATO ally Turkey then i can only imagine the strings and political pressure the US must be exercising to prevent Iran from getting any weapons.
Either way, the Russia and China...
The ban's effectiveness entirely depends on the goodwill of the US, regardless if the sanctions are lifted. Its not uncommon that the US blocks all kinds of military sales by pressuring other countries even though there are no sanctions in place or even remotely any animosity.
Your best bet is...
False equivelance. There is fundemental differences between Turkey and Pakistan when it comes to secular views and status. By its very constitition and statehood the Turkish republic is secular throughout its very core, to the point even wearing simple scarfs were forbidden in govermental...
Thats a very fair assumption to make, although i am pretty sure he is talking about the Hurjet here, which we are aiming to have atleast one prototype build by 2023. This is kinda realistic with a foreign engine.
There is no way in hell we will see a fully flyable TFX aircraft in the next...
It was as neutral as it can be, however there is definitly things that should have been added into video that reveal certain narratives as more understandable and logical. Such as that the coup leader Nikos Sampson flatout saying that he would have genocided the Cypriot Turks had he gotten the...
We dont hate Chinese, we hate their goverments and its ruthless/inhumane policies on ethnic minorities. Either way we wont consider Chinese because it still is not comparable to US, European or Russian aviation technology and industry.
There were already alternatives speculated even before the...
