Ghori wasnt a "Turk" per say... he was of mixed stock,assimilated in Pashtun culture...born in Ghor.Afghanistan... his army comprised of Pashtuns... Aibak was a slave of Ghori (ting.. not indian)...

Ghurids were certainly NOT pashtuns. They had nothing to do with pashtuns. Read history yaar. Muhammed Ghori created the Turkish Sultanate in Delhi. The Qutub Minar was not created by pashtuns but by the turks. Raziya Sultan was not pashtun.

Who said aibak was Indian? The Mughal army had many Rajput commanders in their ranks that does not mean Babur or Akbar was a Rajput.

Babur was born in Uzbekistan, but he called himself a mongol from where the word Mughal came.

The Ghurids or Ghorids (Persian: سلسله غوریان‎; self-designation: Shansabānī) were a formerly pagan and later Sunni Islamic dynasty of Eastern Iranian descent (possibly Tajik) originating in the Ghor region of central Afghanistan, ruling at their zenith over parts of present-day Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Iran, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan

Have you failed to recognise your own master? The moment you started licking the feet of that turk I thought you must have been happy to meet your master after 1000 years.

the moment you called turkey poorer than us despite having a higher Per captia income,i knew you were the right man for mayor of Crazyville

Altough this thread about Balkan militaries isn't about Balkan militaries anymore,it still has a Balkan flavour to it,with the cursing and immature aproach.

In the Balkans, Greece has the edge if you exclude Turkey.

They have been over-spending too much in the last decade. That is why they are bankrupt at the moment. Greece won't be able to keep its current army assets for the next decades. In the coming decade I see Romania and Bosnia growing stronger.

Also, for argument sake, let's say a third Balkan war erupts. Would Greece be able to finance a war? Germany would cut their financing to Greece and they would collapse the next day. The Balkan countries can't wage war independently. The Balkans is where Turkish, European and Russian powers meet. I don't see war happening between Turkey and Europe.
Balkan war could happen if Russia starts supplying Serbia and Bulgarians to destabilize the region. Russia has serious potential to do this as retaliation against NATO expansion.

Strongest army in the Balkans is Turkey. They would definitely have a role in protecting Bosnia, Albania, and Macedon. These are friendly key countries in protecting Istanbul.

Greece is a NATO member and has held its own against a vastly bigger population turkey. In fact Greece has a better air force and pilots than the turks.

Serbia has fought against NATO and that requires guts.

Croatia/ Romania/ Bulgaria are all on the same level more or less.

albania is a joke.

Greece has fought many times against turkey and if I am not mistaken both these countries have a long and bitter history.

Greece did not go bankrupt because they spend too much on defence but for other factors. Romania may grow strong but bosnia will still have to live under NATO protection.

War in balkans will always see NATO or Russian interference. So war in that region is impossible for now.

Turkey is not generally counted as balkan state. Techinally turkey may be balkan but its kind of a perception. And who is going to invade istanbul anyway? Greece has its own problems and turkey still has the protection of NATO.

Greek air force was never top notch to begin with. At the moment it is even worse since they can't afford training and fuel. Also upgrades are out of the question for a lot of decades to come. Turkey is partly in Balkans but it is not a Balkan country. It has an army there. That is the most important. Turkey's best armor and military equipment is located in the Balkans for a reason.

Right now they are in financial trouble. But Greece held its own against turkey in the past. The greeks are a small country with no comparison against turks who have bigger geography and population. But they did manage to defend their capital.

Turkey has alliance with albania, azerbaijan and other turkic countries. Northern cyprus is also under turkey if i am correct. But these are for defense against Russia and not greece. Greece is the underdog against turks.

Greece is on economic crisis and it may even sell its Military equipment too in near future.

Their economic crisis has more or less become stable. Their recovery is slow but they will recover. However their new defense acquisition will definitely suffer.
