5 Turkish Weapons of War Russia Should Fear

Let me rephrase my earlier post then according to your own proposition..
"Turkey was not given TOT of patriot but handed over NUKES to them to annihilate earth!!!" -- Xenon54 the Clued.

maybe you should understand how the world works first

US military industry is mostly on private level , meaning when asking for a ToT , first thing they are concerned about is PROFIT , current and future profit. ToT makes very little profit for the company and can potentially lead to more competitiveness in their market.

If Russian nukes start raining down in Turkey , the US itself will respond with nuclear force

Question was not if USA will respond with nuke or not but whether Turkey was given nuke or not to use.

We know how profit works and we know how patriot was withdrawn from Turkey's soil as soon as Russia stepped in.

Patriots were there due to Syrian threat , as soon as Syrian threat was pretty much non-existent , NATO countries decided to pull out , the decision came way before Russian involvement in Syria (direct involvement)

and here is the direct quote from a source which was originally published in August 17

"Turkey and United States said on Sunday that Washington would withdraw its Patriot missile batteries from the country in October after bolstering Ankara's air defenses against threats from Syria's civil war.

The NATO mandate for the two-year mission will run out in October and will not be renewed, but the US is prepared to return Patriot assets and personnel to Turkey within one week if needed, a joint Turkish-US statement said."

why do you think USA keeps nuclear stockpile in Turkey even after 2 decades since the Soviet Union collapsed?
 
It is easy to build , if you have the competence and knowledge.
Turkey operates since 1956 an research reactor , the nuclear reactor Type TR-2 had at the beginning 5 MW capacity but was upgraded 2007 to 10 MW capacity. HEU Uranium is and was available. Parallel to it an University operates a TRIGA MARK II research reactor a third one is being build
I don't want go in details, but there are enough leaks in the web.

US To Withdraw Patriot Missiles From Turkey

These are lip service from USA.
They know NATO needs turkey for its foot soldiers.... Thats where it ends.
 
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 ?
I cant understand why people are getting so excited over the prospects of a possible war,, it will be a bloodshed and every sane person should be praying to avoid any such miss adventure.
The Talk of nukes is all rubbish as well.
 
Erdogan is an Idiot. Like sadd am was used against Iran, Erdogan is being used against Russia by USA/NATO. You stood by your European title "Sick man of Europe".
 
Sir tell me one example after WWII where Russia won against proper militery force like Turkey. Just one example they always launch attacks one small defenceless states.

Believe me sir you don't want to see Russia in WWII mode. The Russian ICBMs and thousands of nukes, several SSN, SSBN are not for show.
 
Russians lacks some basic elements which are crucial to fight a war against a country like Turkey. They cannot deploy enough fighter squadrons in 1000-2000 km near Turkey to tackle their 200 F-16s. They cannot maintain an extended supply line from Russia to Middle East when several hostile elements are present in their way. They cannot deploy 100,000-200,000 troops to fight a full fledged war like Gallipoli War near or in the Turkey. Their bombers, submarines, missile systems are just few cards which they can play to pressurize Turkey militarily but overall, Russians cannot afford to get into a serious conflict with Turkey.
 
Turkey cannot match the fire power Russians posses, when it comes to one on one Russians are no doubt quite strong. However in current scenario if Russia attacks Turkey it would be biting more then it can chew.

Iran to Syria up to lebanon.. the biggest ally in the middle east and they belongs to Russia. With the hardware and technolgy that Russia possess there will be countries who will be dying to become ally to Russia, that includes your Pakistan.
Who else have soldiers in this region except Turkey? Turkey is in the NATO only for its foot soldiers.
 
that includes your Pakistan.
I really doubt that, no doubt Pak-Russian relations have a very bright future but on the other hand Pakistan fighting Turks for the sake of Russia I don't see that happening. Turkey and Pakistan are like brothers there is a lot that Turkey has done for Pakistan in the past. They sent their jets to aid Pakistan in indo-pak wars, helped Pakistan maintain its F-16 fleet through back channels when nuclear embargo was imposed and recently gifted Pakistan squadron of jet trainers on the other hand asked for Pakistani help in their fight against rebels.

In short Pakistan would not go against Turkey(even Saudi Arabia) for the sake of Russia or anyone else.
