Reading this thread keeps reminding me of the Russo-Ottoman wars between 1820 & 1877 and how Russia time and again proved its superiority.
My Turkish friends keep forgetting that the land mass of Turkey cant sustain a war with a giant like Russia. Also all the fleet they talk about here, is imported. Even if Turkey does manufacture all the weapons, a sustained attack will primarily focus on the facilities that build those weapons.
When Russia was invaded by Germany, German technology was the envy of the world, it still is. But what Russia could do and did was move all its manufacturing facilities deep into Russian territory. Despite crude and inferior technology, Russia was able to turn the tables and in fact invade half of Europe.
