brainwashed by Russian propaganda
He has no idea what can happen if a real war happens. Russia is on foreign playground.
But I don't underestimate SU-34 even it is a derivative of old MIG-29 and not SU-35.
Let us make a brain storm to counter his arguments.
Guess, Russia will go on with more airspace violations and escalates the situation.
Turkey will warn again and again Russia, lock on them with CAP F-16s and Hawk-XX1 assets.
For my opinion , based on technical data SU-34 is superior to our F-16's,
cause our F-16s have no AESA radars and limited BVR capability.
Let's guess they will shot down one or two TurAF F-16s flying CAP with SU-34 or S-400.
Only guess; cause it will be not so easy of Koral, HEIK and NATO Awacs umbrella.
F-16s have also a good but not perfect ECM and self defence equipment.
Russia believes Turkey will do nothing, cause we won't ignite WWW3 and Putin threatened not only Turkey but especially NATO with nuclear first strike.
If Turkey or NATO will not react against Russian aggression, which obviously is a sophisticated plan to enlarge Russian boarders and influence. NATO would loose complete trustworthiness.
Turkish Gov. could collapse.
Russia could dare to occupy the small corridor to Kaliningrad and attack Poland.
A pacifist behavior of Turkey or Nato is not realistic and would boost Russian influence,
increase Russians psychological superiority and strengthen their aim for enlargement and occupation.
Now what will happen in Syria ?
Is Turkey the victim of a secret agreement between Russia and the USA ?
Or is it more likely that a limited war can happen ?
That made me headache :
