Aha. But did you not get help from the outside then? Don't you train with NATO? Don't you have NATO advisers and have that for years? Don't NATO have nukes in Turkey? I mean there must be some kind of cooperation that benefits non-NATO members. Of course there is also a internal rivalry in NATO but with all due respect then NATO is controlled by USA and I don't see Turkey ever rivaling them or any other country in the ME. How come that China and South Korea have been willing to help, China being a non-NATO member? That's great.
Of course, we get those kinds help, i was referring to military industry. We wouldn't join NATO in the first place if it did not benefit.
The greatest reason for Turkey joining the NATO is because of the Soviets. We granted us a protection against them. This was the primary reason. And also the other reasons yo mentioned.
Turkey can't rival NATO but there is a possible that Turkey can rival individual countries in military industry. Like how T-129 outrun the Eurocopter in Korean tender.
We have great relations with South Korea. The main reason is we joined the Korean war and made sacrifices, our soldiers showed heroic bravery. Koreans don't forget this and they help us whenever they can.
China on the other hand is trying to prove itself as a International Weapons Supplier. If they can manage to sell their equipment to a NATO member it would greatly reflect on them.
Yes, I am afraid that you are right.
Actually our discussion would fit more on the Turkish section where more Turks could participate or on the military section.
Yeap, it would be much more suitable. But Arab members seldom visit our section, except @Yzd Khalifa and @Bubblegum Crisis
You are so consistent.... soheil did the same to you back in time. Just move along mate.
