We should take relations with Turkey more seriously.

headline should be Global Firepower Military Ranks ...

omission of that single word is open invitation to trolls !

Nevertheless one should be as accurate as possible while quoting ....

@Chanakya's_Chant please amend the title ...to make it more accurate !

 

[Indo-guy]

North Korea and Turkey have more aircrafts than India !!!

Unbelievable ....

 

[Koovie]

North Korea and Turkey have more aircrafts than India !!!

Unbelievable ....

North Koreas most modern jets are a handful of non upgraded Soviet Mig 29s..... the majority of their air force is crap. They even fly large numbers of Korean War era aircraft and even WW2 era transport planes.

They would get pulverized by the South Korean F 16s and F 15s within hours.

 

[acid rain]

North Korea and Turkey have more aircrafts than India !!!

Unbelievable ....

What do you expect when MMRCA and FOC takes ages. Not to mention all the scams related to heli's, feet dragging since 5 years on Apache, chinooks, MRT, refuelers and AWACS.

 

[Neptune]

North Korea and Turkey have more aircrafts than India !!!

Unbelievable ....

We operate largest number of aircraft within NATO after US, but the data they used is lasts years for Turkey.

A note about Iran and North Korea, they report higher numbers of aircraft at official papers to disrupt foreign intelligence agencies, mostly CIA. It can't be possible for North Korea to operate more aircraft than India.

Turkey is very close ally of Pakistan they have provided all sort of support during wars with India and still they are providing training and advance tech to Pakistan and during sanctions they help keep training standard upto level of NATO and much more.

Pakistan is the priorty of our relations at South Asia. Come on! That doesn't mean we can't be good partners. We were only business partners with Israel, then we became close allies, before the flotilla incident.

 

[waz]

All well and good that list but how many of those nations have actual battle experience or fought full wars, in the last 40 years? Experience trumps everything.

While Turkey and Pakistan have a strategic relationship, India's relationship with Turkey has also changed over the years.

It would be extremely unlikely that Turkey would provide any support to Pakistan in any war with India now - which is to say, that it is unlikely that they would take sides.

Just like in the decades past even Indonesia and Malaysia supported Pakistan in its wars with India, yet today India enjoys a far closer military partnership with both Indonesia and Malaysia. In fact today, Indonesian pilots are trained by Indian pilots on their leading edge fighter - the Su-30 and it uses Indian equipment.

So, all in all, things look up for us.
