First of all you should know the mindset of mbs and mbz . Can you remember when Aramco was hit by Iranian or huthi drones , what stance was taken by mbz ? Silently he changed his stance and when US was blaming Iran for tanker attacks, mbz told that it was not done by Iran . MBS has a delusion...
Right now Turkey badly need some 4.5+ generation jets to face SU 35 , Rafael or MIGs. F-16s are okey but not sufficient to deterrent or win decisively .
In modern warfare depends on missiles instead of Air power is a very very bad option.
You need underground missile programmes, otherwise if...
Though risky but from some where you have to start . Room was not built in a day . The Otomans should not rely on others for an indefinite pereiod of time . Some other nations also looking for you .

Further more if Turkey were with...
Turkish Airpower has a Fifth Generation Aircraft Problem.
Turkey was a partner and co producer of F-35. I don't know if it was a creazy move or not by Turkey to get out by US from the F-35 program for acquired of S- 400 System which is yet to be activated and it's future is uncertain. So it...
Because ,the only legitimate govt. of Libya which is recognized by UN , asked Turkey to help to protect against terrorist thug Hiftar . So Turkish position in Libya is ligal and fair . Turkey will leave Libya whenever there will peace and stability come .
Secondly try to understand the...
It is yet to decided . If Turkey give them some leverage, they should play in favour of Turkey. In fact Saudi , UAE and Bahrain also SiSi is their main enemy. US and Israel is in second line . But as Russia is there, so they will keep them away from this conflict.
Russia is going to sell...
Yes , Turkey should do this at least . Every where this Z is working against Turkey . So it is now Turkey's turn to pay him with Principal and interest . Tiny Z is not aware about its size .
