All Cypriot Turks residing in Northern Cyprus as well as a big chunk of the diaspora would probably become EU citizens automatically if/when Cyprus is united again. Cyprus is already part of the European Union. Sadly, I don't see this happening any time soon with the current status quo in the...

Why are you specifically counting the Pulwama attack in this Pakistan vs India tally?

That is impossible. The Taiwan strait cannot be regarded as internal waters under law due to the distances involved. Even if both sides were the territory of the same state, the narrowest point is something like 130km. If you subtract 12 + 12nm for the territorial waters in the two sides, this...

Not Greece nor Turkey. It belongs to the Republic of Cyprus. Greece and Turkey don't even have a declared EEZ.

That is a LOT of gas. Very happy for our Cypriot brethren. :-)

So, both are indeed out now. Shared training exercise maybe?

I'm not disagreeing with you. Just saying that clearing the airspace from both sides is not a good sign.

Diverting civilian aviation to clean up the airspace tends to be a precursor to assigning air defense kill boxes and preparing for war operations. I really hope that calmer minds prevail and the escalation stops soon. A war between the two countries would be devastating.

OP, this is an internet discussion forum. If you disagree with someone's assessment of a situation or a fact, attack his arguments while providing your own. Attacking the person himself does not really elevate your position.

Holy molly, I had no idea something like this existed. :cheesy::D

This is probably linked to the article I posted last week. A "huge" gas field appears to have been found in Cyprus Given the location of the find, I don't think that this would help de-escalating the situation. It is a major find for the Republic of Cyprus, and on a packet where US interests...

There are four different things you need to think about in a situation such as this one. 1. Given the distance from the LOC, a competently designed and run mission profile by a low flying aircraft packet can enter PK undetected, use the terrain in its advantage, release weapons and get back...

Assuming a Hi-Lo-Hi profile to avoid early detection, your calculations seem to be entirely correct. Here in Greece, we use the M2000(-5) in this mission profile too. The mean speed when moving at NOE altitude is around 500 knots. Given the distance, the whole affair would be presumably over in...

Agreed. But it gives some credence to what the locals were saying on that other report, right?

The info I gave was from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Interrogation of a Taliban insurgent. Look it up, above. If my understanding is correct, there was a JEM camp there that was converted to a Madrasa some years before.
