SIPRI 2014: Turkey's defense spending, 22.6 billion USD (2.2% of the GDP)

[flamer84]

I think that sum represents 2.5% of GDP....2.2 would mean that Turkey's GDP has hit 1 trillion mark ,which it didn't.

Bro Gabriel is a great guy.

Just joking around. Got nothing to do.

 

[Bismarck]

So,Turkey will use the force to join EU ?
Interesting.

Why not? You blame us because of less military help. Now, Turkey wants to 'help' voluntarily.

 

[KediKesenFare3]

I don't believe that Turkey is only spending 22 Billion USD. The official budget of the Ministry of Defence is btw only 8,4 Billion USD for this year.

Although Europeanization reforms that have been carried out in Turkey since 2001 strengthened the Parliament's oversight functions, the defence budget is still not totally transparent. Due to the existence of extra-budgetary funds, such as the Defence Industry Support Fund, which has been used for major arms procurement projects, the exact size of the military's budget is still unknown.

Why not? You blame us because of less military help. Now, Turkey wants to 'help' voluntarily.

Germany should let Turkey in EU.

Go away false flagger....

Now you know why everyone is pressing you guys to get your military involved. With such a commanding defence capability, GCC wants to press you for the Yemen conflict. Either directly or indirectly.

Spending more doesn't mean you have a better army. We have still conscription army which cuts a lot of costs compared to western armies who are paid hefty salaries. Huge part of military spending of the west goes to spending on salary. We are spending more on RSD. Also I think Turkey is very efficient. We are starting to spend less on from the shelf products and starting to develop our own platforms. In the future it will pay back a lot in terms of cost reduction.

Turkey's reality. R&D is key for any regional power; so the government should spend more money on it instead of pretending we are a regional hub for new technologies. That being said, there are some very good steps taken like the aselsan EW and radar centre.

Davutoğlu insists on R&D and innovation... He announced so many serious packages on these issues... I hope that we will improve much more...

Why should we join the EU? Are you willing to pay for the debts of Greece?

He isnt a Turk, he like to pretend to be Erdogan...
Might be @Armstrong trolling.

Then you have previously meet the criteria.

The criteria that get's higher every year. Couple of years ago Turkey realized they will never get in the EU. We are just still going for the funds. Even IF we meet the criteria if one or two countries reject the Turkish entry, Turkey still can't join EU.

Exactly. We should rather stay away from the Arabic mess in the Middle East. We should focus on educational, social reforms in a secular path which will only go by overthrowing Erdogan and his government. However we don't have a good leader in the opposition parties yet.

I think that sum represents 2.5% of GDP....2.2 would mean that Turkey's GDP has hit 1 trillion mark ,which it didn't.

No it is. It's the Swedish SIPRI we are talking about. Check the facts.

2.2%.......22,6 billion.

100%......1,027 trillion.
