Possibly. As I already stated above, there has been zero corroboration of/for this. ;) I managed to counter-reference the leave cancellation claim though about Greek forces. It seems to be factual.

Yep. We are getting some more news over here, apparently 17 TDK combat ships have left Aksaz Deniz Üssü today. Moreover, there has been a lot of activity from THK and HAF in the area during the past 30hrs or so. There are a couple of sources talking about leave cancellation across all the...

You can view this as nothing more than public posturing. No sane actor would choose the optics of attacking an operating civilian nuclear installation. Dams be damned. It is pretty much the quickest way towards getting occupied by a multi-national force. Same can be said by the way for Armenian...

Admiral Cem Gürdeniz has got a point here. The problem is that at this point in time a compromise of almost any sort seems to be politically unacceptable for the governing parties in both countries. To be more exact, it would be viewed in Greece as an incredible singular betrayal towards the...

At what point will most of the posters in this thread realize you are arguing about things that happened 500, 1000 years ago as if they had any actual relevance to the world we live in today? :cheesy:

This is not how things work. Frankly, for almost all military equipment (there are some NOTABLE exceptions), this is not how things have ever worked. _______________ With regards to the OP, Sweden has kept a distinct heritage of self-sufficiency on aircraft design and procurement for the...

This article is a simple click-bait operation. Nowhere inside is there a substantiated claim that Turkey will field the S-400 missile system in Libya. Frankly speaking...one would have to be a little drunk to even think about it. :crazy:

That's "Golden Dawn", a fascist/ultranationalist political party (something like Bozkurtlar but in Greece). Which is fortunately out of the Parliament this time around. we are getting off-topic though..

This is a reason that many here in Greece also read New Dawn. ;) Having said that, when you indeed know that a source carries an innate bias, you have to accordingly filter what the source says and means according to it.

The truth of the matter is the following. 1. Most media in India is sensationalist trash. They are also prone to coloring news for political bias purposes. Scandal-ology and tension is what sells to the huge market, so one source is constantly trying to outdo the other in ridiculousness. Indian...

@KediKesenFare I really don't understand the question and the scenario at the first post. Could you expand your thought here? 1. Are you trying to say that a Nation that has a nuclear arsenal and uses nuclear power for civilian purposes cannot utilize offensively its arsenal against an...

Agreed, wholeheartedly. If anyone is interested in the subject at hand, Professor Vego of the USN NWC wrote some years ago a pretty extensive/complete declassified review of modern naval warfare strategy on the littoral, complete with historical references. It is a very good read in my honest...

Have in mind that theaters like the Aegean sea make the theoretical maximum attributes of almost all types of weapons academic. The Aegean is a literal electronic emissions soup sprinkled with radar dead zones and plowed by many thousands of vessels. There is no such thing as a kill-box in the...

That is not how the PLA functions. The official dissemination of information in the PRC follows a completely different, nuanced procedure. And they can afford to follow said procedure for obvious reasons.

From what I understand from multiple sources, the skirmish between China and India was apparently a massive fistfight in a remote cliff passage, most of the deaths were guys falling off a really crowded cliff. Also, they're not reporting it but a number of Chinese soldiers died too.

It is far easier for the PRC to control the flow of this kind of information. Moreover,

This is an interesting answer. Do you actually view this as a threat or a provocation of war? Do you actually think that a generals' job is to say that they are NOT ready for war?

Why would Greece declare war on Turkey?
