A word of wisdom, I call it.
I agree. PAC3 system with current developments has a huge edge to others. During Operation Iraqi Freedom Upgraded PAC3 system with PAC-3, GEM, and GEM+ missiles both had a very high success rate intercepting Al-Samoud 2 and Ababil-100 tactical ballistic missiles.
Azeris, Spaniards ink $4.8 billion Turkish refinery deal
Turkey is set to receive a new refinery after Azerbaijan’s Socar and a Spanish-led group ink a multibillion-dollar deal to build the facility on İzmir’s Petkim peninsula on the Aegean coast

Yes, it was. I just wait to see who will accept the responsibly of those wrong politics, I mean sacrificing security of Iran for temporary interests of Syrian regime or whatever you name it.
Ok, That is ... not ... maybe ... all about trustworthy! The west economy exceeds 30 T$ (US+EU). The Russian one is around 2 T$ and a great part of that 2 T$ is trading with west. When that 30 T$ economy forces that 2 T$ economy to do or not to do, there is a little chance to remain trustworthy!
If I am not wrong I saw THAAD at IDEF13! And in none of official statements I found S400!
But the point, I try to say is that none of these systems are capable enough against mid-range ballistic targets except THAAD (That one, also, is on paper capability, yet).
These systems, even S400...
You are talking about combat proven systems which is the most important aspect when you are at danger!
None of them is as combat proven as US made systems. Even the testing procedure for development of US made systems is enormous. For example check the tests for THAAD. There is a fact that...
The only point I do not like about Eurosam is that aster-15 could not be quad packed like ESSM or PAC3.
Consider a TF-2000 with 50 vertical launch system. 40 cell are occupied with SM2, there is 10 cell remained. you could put 40 ESSM missile on that 10 remained cells.
In contrast development...
In my opinion, Turkey should launch a co-program of an advanced system to be operational within the next 5 years which has the later specification:
1- The missiles should be operational on TF-2000, too. The missiles in such system could be something like land based "SM6 and ESSM" or vertical...
Russia is ready to develop jointly with Turkey a long-range air defense complex based on S-300 surface-to-air missile systems, state arms seller Rosoboronexport head Sergei Ladygin said on Sunday.
Turkey launched a tender for the purchase of long-range air defense systems long ago but no winner...
This could not be the answer of the question "why does government hesitate to do it?" By the way no Iranian institute could freely take such a pool. So comparing wrong with wrong, in my opinion albeit.
Do you think the system will allow any reform? Or you mean bloody reform type of things ...
Nothing is bad with CHP, but this party as a legacy of Ataturk, urgently needs an uber politician capable of unveiling innovative modern solutions!
MHP is not my recommendation if Turkey wants to continue the policy if expanding economical cooperation with outer world.
If a government was confident about her fans why institutes of the US have done the poll?
I do not reject the possibility but as you know the system cut the way of reformists like disputed last election, jailed politician and ...
Do you think the system will allow any reform? Or you mean...
