There still lots of older systems sure, though the S-125 is kind of misleading since they are not used by us. They are still very useful and capable in their own right. I mean Ukraine effectively contested the air space and largely won with far older Soviet era relics and systems. Most countries...

We never used S-125, it was bought for our Libyan allies. We already introduced Hisar-A/A+/Hisar-O/Korkut/Sungur into our inventory along with S-400, and ofcourse with Siper being in development among others. The meme about outdated air defence system can be buried now.

You are comparing a MALE drone to a Suicide drones, that makes no sense at all. Turkey also has multiple suicide drones already developed and in development. That would be a far better comparison if you want to measure bang for buck. STM: Kargu, Alpagu family and new longer range kamikaze...

Its the other way around. Given all the components that have come to light as being non-Iranian, its admirable you can keep that bs narrative alive and going. We have a far higher domestic contribution if not already 100%, whilst technically 100% of Iranian drones are complete foreign imports...

Petty as it may seem, can I just point out how funny it is that Iranians always used so much copium when talking about Turkish drones have foreign component while objectively yours use more foreign components and input lol. Rotax engines, Intel processors and boards, foreign external GPS and etc.

Its not recognized by the UN lmao and we have plenty of churches from all kinds of denominations, both in usage and of historical value. Istanbul quite literally is the headquarter for Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, which was the closest thing Orthodox Christians got to a Vatican...

Turkey is intrinsically a part of the conversation whether you mentioned it or not. It played a role within the second Karabakh war, and is the reason why Iranians and Armenians pretend to be buddies. Your post was just so cringe that it had to be addressed.

Komsu we have records of countless historical heritage sites from Azerbaijani's, Iranians, Georgians, Turkish, Caucasians Albanians, Muslims and etc. being completely destroyed in Armenia. Much of Armenia itself used to be inhabitated by Muslims, are you going to tell me after close to 1400...

The idea that their relationship is based on anything more then a shared geopolitical concern for Turkish influence in Caucasus and Central Asia is laughable. You get these types of comments pretending like they are BFF's even though Armenians in reality not only despises Muslims, but have...

Unless Iran gets to have a slice of the cake right? They literally claim the entirely of North and North-West Iran as Armenian. You are also a highly radicalized revolutionary rogue state where religion is central to its values and identity, that is actively trying to export this to other...

They never remotely stood a chance. Their victory in the first Karabakh war was entirely due to the chaos within the Azerbaijani Armed Forces rather then performance by the Armenian Armed Forces themselves. An organized and properly structured Azeri Armed Forces at full readiness and fighting...

So when Turkey acts on its self-interests and wants to increase its influence in the region its automatically Neo-Ottomanism? If that is the case then when can Turkey do any of these things without people labeling it as Neo-Ottomanism? What are the lines between acting on self-interests and...

In what way does the representation of warriors from the 16 Turkic empires scream Neo-Ottomanism? What does the Xiongnu have to do with Ottomans? What does the Timurids have to do with Neo-Ottomanism?

Its just a designation to a phenomenon that people try to comprehend by attaching labels to it. If Neo-Ottomanism was a thing then why is the Ottoman-family not reinstated as the Monarchs of Turkey like Franco did in Spain? Why is there no effort being made to revive the caliphate under their...

No such thing as "Neo-Ottomanism". Turkey is merely awakening from a self-imposed slumber to focus in its internal affairs as a newly founded republic, which means that those decades were an exception in an otherwise history of passive and pro-active foreign policies around the region. Some...

The kill ratio is absolutely heavily in favor of TB-2's when compared to Russian air defense systems, which means the TB-2 is a very successful product and is a net gain for any armed forces. Your statement is therefore misleading, yes they can shoot it down, but its statistically more likely...

I really wasn't questioning the role of M6 or its price tag. Just plainly pointing out there is in fact differences in TB-2's favor when comparing to the M6. Its the reason why countries buy TB-2's and not Mohajer-6, even Tajikistan was first interested in TB-2 before being denied it in favor of...

The TB-2 was literally made with the mindset of being expendable and mass produced. Its unit price is at around 2 Million USD domestically and 4-5 million export price tag. That's mindbogglingly cheap for drones, especially for the all the capabilities and systems the TB-2 comes with. Its the...

There is fundamental differences, primarily the varying sophisticated flir systems that TB-2 uses. It allows for dropping bombs from higher altitude, with worse weather, better accuracy, better non-fixed targeting, better night vision and etc, Its the heart and soul of the drone, one could argue...

The funny thing is that much of this wave of anti-immigrant sentiments is being fueled by the AKP and Erdogan. Its the classic European far right strategy of blaming foreigners and putting the focus there so people can get their minds of the absolute atrocious state of the economy. Its a dark...
