Can Turkey become a "Superpower"?

[TheCamelGuy]

Within few days TAF could weaken all their strongholds, within few weeks all of YPG territories could be taken into TAF control if USA/SAA/Iran/Russia and all the rest were not playing any role - and the main reason is due to their flat territories as well as Turkish reconnaissance in this area, we already have all the coordinates ready - this was expressed by high military staff.

The plains yes, superior firepower/technology will easily win in the plains/deserts etc. But in urban battles it's hard, time taking and costs troop life's.

Turkey right now is a superpower.

Turkey is not a superpower but currently we can say a very strong regional power. I wish you guys best of luck

 

[XDescendantX]

Turkey is a regional power and can maintain this. But if Iran, Pakistan, and Turkey combine then they will be a superpower.

Turkey is a regional power and can maintain this. But if Iran, Pakistan, and Turkey combine then they will be a superpower.

I would not categorize a group of countries as a superpower. A superpower is about a single country in my opinion not a single entity like the NATO. Other countries might as well start forming groups and calling themselves superpower

 

[Somali-Turk]

Regional power broker.not superpower.

 

[Mr.Nair]

Sorry pal, India is a British creation. Most of the last 1000 years you have been Turkish rulers slaves, no offence but you have to embrace history. In 1800s the power struggle between maratha and the mughals and then the British took the opportunity and stayed and then created artifical India. Since 1947.

Turks have been stronger than your people can ever imagine.

Getting back to today. We produce over 55% of our military equipment ourselves, I'm sure that's more than India. You are the largest importer in the world.

The only main things we can't produce is a proper fighter jet(4-5 countries can make, tejas is a joke) submarine (a few countries can make good diesel subs), space launcher and long range air defence(only 3-4 countries can make).

India can't make any of these themselves too other than the space launcher. I don't include tejas because it's not even worthy. I'm sure we can produce an f-16 copy which will be better than tejas but then what's the point.

BTW I think you don't have much knowledge about what your talking about. Do you think NATO hands out free money? And then USA goes there you go we give you all details of our f-35 or other countries.

I can assure you Russia gave more tech to India than NATO has given us. 90% of the products you produce are Russian made with small Indian input.

Sorry pal but I have doubts on your mental capacity. Most of those stuff are non-relevant. Foreign remittance? Hahah. So you measure a countries power on foreign remittance?

Other than nucleur power and space tech, India is behind in every main aspect.

india is poor country.(GDP per capita like 1,000 dollars)
india largest weapons importer(imports most weapons)
I dont know any soft power projection of india. Your influence doesnt pass your borders, because you have been ruled by others in your history. So now you have a chance but it looks bad. Before you can be superpower there is many countries infront of you.

Republic of India doesnt see Republic of Turkey as competitor and in fact Republic of India, Republic of Turkey and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Japan are G20 members and all these countries are having good relations with United States of America.

Republic of Turkey and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia both are having good economic relations with Republic of India. And Republic of India and Republic of Turkey are having security agreements with Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and GCC.

Republic of Turkey is the second largest member of NATO, It has 426,000 military personnel last year, the second largest of any NATO member state.

Ya ya irrelevant when you don't like it buddy, nice escape....

You are just like another country and India is just like a continent.India having many poor people and so is China.
I can also find poor people in street even in US, but that does not mean that they are poor country

Indian yoga is quiet popular all over world and 10% of US population do yoga daily.Indian films are much popular through out the world.India is the country where most religions originated.

Only India,Japan,Germany are front runners for UN permanent members in SC.Where are you !

I didn't find your country name in this list either.

I HOPE SOMEDAY TURKEY SHALL but there is one trio already in to existence.PAKISTAN SAUDI ARABIA AND TURKEY

 

[Indus Pakistan]

The Indian's are experts in taking it but never giving. From Moghuls, Pakhtuns, Persians, British invaders they have taken by lying flat. It is race of servile, feeble, deceptive and the best strength they have is big, big mouths.

And I would bet on Turkey anytime as superpower then India - which right now is in more danger of drowning in it's defecation then anything else. Cruel but these are the facts.

I aint escaping from anything. This is my last post to you because you dont seem to understand much of what I said. Let me just tell you how most of your list of comparison is funny.

8. Oil consumption - Saudi arabia 5th largest consumption of oil according to wiki so Saudi= 5th strongest country?? - India is 3rd so india = 3rd strongest? Singapore is above UK
9. Electricity production= same as above. Large population usually directly means more electricy production. China is ahead of USA so China is stronger than USA?
11. Kee products like cement,coal,steel etc - Steel is quite important actually as in war you need steel Turkey = 9th above UK and France in steel. India 3rd
12. Automobile industry - not really got anything to do with being a superpower just can increase exports
13. Gold consumption- what??? gold consumption.
Main agricultural and other products like rice,wheat,sugarcane,tea,rubber,mango,onion,milk etc
Foreign remittance- this one is funny.

8. You don't understand one thing that in geo politics, if you are a big oil consumer, then you are also a big bargaining chip vs producer to increase your political clout.

9. I agree with you.

10. Yes

11. Increase export,consumption means,increase in revenue for a country

12. How a population can afford to buy gold. Yes more population and priority, more consumption

13. Foreign remittance will increase one countries revenue, some countries survival mainly on remittance.eg:- pakistan,philippines,bangladesh,mexico etc

A powerful country normally means overall how a country is important in a world stage relative to others.Its a relative factor and that factors is a combinations of military,economy,politics,location,soft power,influence,education,consumption,production,infrastructure,population,size etc and over all future prospects...

@ PPP. get over it. If you insist on using PPP India is already supapowa.

Buddy, your own media stay away not to show that your country overtake US on GDP PPP.Its should not be a news at all according to your logic.

The Indian's are experts in taking it but never giving. From Moghuls, Pakhtuns, Persians, British invaders they have taken by lying flat. It is race of servile, feeble, deceptive and the best strength they have is big, big mouths.

Instead of making bluff statements, where is your countries rank on above parameters?

Dude yoga and Indian movies aren't going to give you the soft power for being a superpower.
