5 Turkish Weapons of War Russia Should Fear

Turkey needs to increase size of its Air Force develop Long Range Ballistic and Cruise Missiles and also Destroyers.
Oviously I hope two brotherly country Pakistan Turkey will inhance cooperation in long range ballastic and cruse missile technology. Without might you cannot earn respect and safegourd national interest.
 
what? if it's slave labor you're talking about then why hasn't the USA already fell ?!



They don't look like commandos to me , much like turkish college girls who are whispering together instead , like the israeli hagganah who always come in large groups

It would have in the late 80s unless it was abolished and some reverse discriminating practice enacted !

What I was referring to was vast millions of people from the hinterland who were arrested and made to work in Gulags by Stalin during the 20s, 30s, 40s & 50s !!

You could have been arrested in USSR for some of the most stupid reasons and face harsh jail punishments with no means of recourse !

At least the soviets exploited their own race , not the naggers from africa who are starting to kick back in america ..
 
Negative. Slavery is slavery. There is no qualifying caveat to it.

at least the soviets deported them to a remote place , americans enslave people right in their own cities where white chicks are dating :( '

Syria was a major source of tension between Turkey and Russia even before a Turkish F-16 shot down a Russian Su-24 on the Turkish-Syrian border on November 24. Since the start of the Syrian Civil War in early 2011, Russia and Iran have backed the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, while Turkey, along with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United States, has supported anti-Assad rebels.

After Assad’s forces downed a Turkish RF-4 reconnaissance plane over the Mediterranean in June 2012, Ankara implemented new rules of engagement with dubious legal standing against Damascus. For the past three-and-a-half years, Turkey has brought down more than half a dozen Syrian fighter jets, helicopters and UAVs for allegedly violating its airspace.

The latest incident is a culmination of that tug-of-war and Turkey’s desire to help its clients in Syria. Following the arrival of the Russian air contingent on Syria’s Mediterranean coast in September 2015, one Russian aircraft briefly violated Turkish airspace, a Syrian MiG-29 locked on Turkish F-16s flying inside Turkey and the Turks shot down what is believed to be a Russian-made UAV within their territory on October 16.

During these episodes, Russian Air Force assets meant to show the Turks that their support for anti-Assad rebels was not welcome. For Turkey, putting pressure on Russian air operations in Syria was a way to reassure the rebel groups under its aegis to keep fighting the Assad regime.

Because of Turkey’s NATO membership and better access to the Syrian battle space, and Russia’s immense military superiority, an all-out war between the two sides is unlikely. Still, limited engagements similar to the November 24 incident are possible—especially after the Russian General Staff announced a more aggressive posture against the Turks. Turkey, however, enjoys impressive military assets that could make life difficult for Russia.

To that end, this article covers the five most dangerous Turkish weapon systems that should give Russia a moment of pause before it escalates tensions. Just like its forthcoming counterpart discussing the five Russian weapons that Turkey should fear, the article covers the weapons that Turks might use in a limited engagement in Syria and the eastern Mediterranean. As such, Russia’s ballistic missile capabilities or U.S. tactical nukes based in Turkey will not be part of the analysis—they are virtually useless in a limited engagement.

F-16 multirole fighter and AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM)

07-1015.jpg


The Turkish Air Force (TuAF) has nearly 250 F-16 aircrafts in its inventory, thirty of which are of the Block 50+ type. Block 50+ is the latest variant of the F-16, a combat-proven fourth-generation multirole fighter. Turkey has produced (with a U.S. license) and operated different variants of the F-16 since the mid-1980s, giving the TuAF considerable skill and experience with the “Fighting Falcon” in every scenario possible.

The U.S.-made AIM-120 missile with which the Turks shot down the Russian Su-24 on Nov. 24 is a deadly partner to the F-16. With an operational range of nearly thirty nautical miles (fifty kilometers), the AIM-120 turns the F-16 into a serious threat against the highly trained and well-equipped Russian Air Force.

KORAL Ground-Based Jammer

The KORAL transportable radar jammer system is the Turkish military’s latest addition to its electronic warfare capabilities. Designed by Turkey’s state-owned Aselsan Corporation, this electronic defense/electronic attack system is designed to jam and deceive conventional and complex types of hostile radar, and analyzes multiple target signals in a wide frequency range, automatically generating appropriate response thanks to its digital radio frequency memory (DRFM) capability. With an effective range in excess of ninety miles (about 150 kilometers), KORAL reportedly could jam and deceive any land, sea and airborne radar systems. This new system could deny situational awareness to the Russians, thicken their fog of war and blind their weapons systems that would otherwise pose a threat to the Turkish military.

Gür-class submarines

TCG_Burakreis%20-S_359.jpg


Turkish Naval Forces possess four Gür-class submarines, which are considered one of the best diesel-electric submarines in the world. Based on the German firm HDW’s export-oriented Type 209 T2/1400 models, theGürs are armed with submarine-launched Harpoon anti-ship missiles (UGM-84), as well as the British-made Tigerfish and German-made DM2A4 heavy torpedoes. The Turkish submarines are also equipped with state-of-the-art detection and targeting systems, which turn these platforms into silent and deadly hunters that would threaten the Russian surface action group positioned in the eastern Mediterranean. Given the Syria-based Russian naval task force’s shortcomings in anti-submarine warfare (ASW), the Gür submarines give immense leverage to the Turkish side.

Ada-class stealth corvettes

Turkey’s Ada-class stealth corvettes are another naval platform that present a lethal challenge to Russian surface action groups and supply ships operating in the Mediterranean. Designed and produced by Turkish personnel, Adas are equipped with 8 Harpoon Block II missiles, OtoMelara Super Rapid three-inch cannons and other armaments. These highly stealthy ships have extremely reduced radar, IR and acoustic signatures, and they are backed by a low probability of intercept (LPI) radar that could sneak up to Russian surface vessels and deliver a lethal blow.

SAT Naval Commandos

40a10e454275d8ebba3621e5b1f77705.jpg


SAT (Sualtı Taarruz Timleri/Underwater Assault Teams) are the Turkish Armed Forces' most elite special forces unit. Turkish SATs operate in every environment. They can infiltrate behind enemy lines from the air, land or sea to raid high-value targets, create diversions or attack port facilities and anchored ships. These combat divers are direct action units par excellence. Especially in a limited conflict, Turkish SATs would perform deadly clandestine operations against Syrian coastal infrastructure and Russian vessels operating in the Mediterranean.

We hope that Turkey and Russia de-escalate tensions in Syria. A war, even one limited in scope, would be too hurtful to both sides. But if Ankara and Moscow were to take things to the next level, these five weapons would give the Turkish side some unique advantages.

Two big countries like Turkey and Russia will never go for WAR.
 
The day they launch an attack on a country like Turkey, it may lead to World War. US & Russia after WW-II have always attacked countries inferior to them.
It will be a catastrophe of epic proportion. We will also be dragged into that whirlpool for sure, who will we support and who will we ignore? Arab world? Turkey? US? China or Iran? AND, that will be the least of concerns as a war between these states that will surely become a world war may well end it all for everyone.
I sincerely hope that common sense prevail and Turkey and Russia deescalate the situation. Turkey have been wrong in this case, they wont apologize surely but they must be extra careful in future.
Also spare a though for the poor Syrian people, who are being butchered by there own government, Arabs Turkey, US, EU/NATO, Russia, ESSENTIALLY, all of the world!!
 
1.Turkey enjoys somewhat of a High Moral Ground here. Being an immediate neighbor from where rivers flow down south. And that should remind us of the imminent water crisis in that region. Syria was a province of Turkey - not very long ago. In fact the entire area was part of the Turkish Empire. Turkey is Muslim, Russia is not.
2. Let us not forget Turkey does posses nukes. Codes of some are with NATO/USA, but some are exclusively Turkey's. No one is sure about Turkey's delivery system - missiles and rockets. But Russia is not too far away. F-16s can carry/launch nukes. Would Pakistan not have sent them some missiles in the meantime?
3. A major factor here - and this needs to be seen as a weapon in the hands of the Turks, is that she is a NATO nation.

Your zeal is compelling but I am sorry. TURKEY do not have nukes and nukes WILL NOT be used in almost 100% probability even in case of a limited war.

Jeez !! Whats up with the brain dead idiots in the thread? Can't we have some realistic discussion for once ?
 
Turkey don't have any long range air defence system and any long rang ballastic or cruse missile capability which Russia already shown to the world and it's enemy. Tell one weapons which can attack Russian main land and not forget lethal s-300/400 airdefence system whjch can make any Turkish fighter and cruse missile redundant. And for submarine Russia have more subsurface capability then turkey to loss few to Turkish force.





This idiot degree should cancel.
With Turkish Som missiles with new local engine, can hit 1500km. in 2012, it was mentioned that, in 2 years, Turkey will have the capability to hit 2500km with som. Basically, they most probably,already got the missile, but silent so far.. it is famous for Turkish army to announce technologies very late.. WHen there were a change for Turkey to go into war with Grece in 1999. Turkish army had secret talk with CHine and got ballistic missiles to hit 180 km with TOT. They announced it only after 9 years. Russian KKB is smarter than you computer warrior..

Turkey got 60-90 B61 nuclear warheads... Just recently, Turkish army technology company ASELSAN, was awarded 79 m$ to upgrade those missiles.. which also means, most probably Turkey got the codes but also promised not to develop nuclear weapon.. But, im sure there is a nuclear mind in Erdogans head. The deal with Japan also shows it.. after 2023..
LALE KEMAL - Turkey to upgrade US nuclear arsenal at İncirlik
 
US & Russia after WW-II have always attacked countries inferior to them.

Then again, there were hardly countries superior to them ( esp. USA ) so how else could it have gone? ;)

Agreed to the rest of your post & prior one,
and good day all, Tay.

P.S.
what's a naggers?

You know man : folks that bug you until you blow off … :angel:
 
The Russia just need deploy enough numbers of S-300 / S-400 in Syria, then just wait Turkey coming not need do others. :partay::partay::partay: If S-400 with HQ-9 togehter, what a surprise !
