gas reserves that might exist.
there are trillion dollars gas reserves in the Eastern Mediterranean
and the US,Israel,Greece,Greek Cypriots and Egypt were allies to steal gas reserves from Turkish Republic of Northen Cyprus and Turkey
on paper. [question to think about: has greek s-300 blocked the aegean to turkish airforce?]
on paper for anti ballistic missile defense capability .... but not for Fighter Jets
even outdated S200 ( Syrian S200 ) turned Israeli F-16 to burned bird
so S400 easly can destroy Fighter Jets ( and S400 Missile has range of 250km to block all Aegean )
Greek S300 has range of 150km and only for training .. nothing else
S300 can not block the Aegean to Turkish Airforce ...
even Turkey doesnt need Airforce to Attack Greek Air Defense Systems , military and strategic targets
( btw Turkish F-16s armed with 280km SLAM-ER and 300km SOM air launched Cruise Missiles to attack 150km S300 )
Turkey has ground based Missiles such as J600T , BORA and ATMACA also Turkish surface to surface Cruise Missile is on the way to destroy Greek PATRIOT and S300 in Greece and Greek Islands
but Greece has only 250km SCALP air launchled cruise Missiles to attack Turkey's military targets ...
( Greek Fighter Jets never will reach to Eskisehir,Amasya,Ankara,Konya,Malatya,etc to destroy Air bases
because of S400 will destroy Greek Fighter Jets even on Aegean )
in a few years Turkey will have KORKUT , HISAR-A , HISAR-O , SIPER and S400 to intercept Greek Airforce Fighter Jets and SCALP-EG Cruise Missiles
that strike was carried out by Syria/Iran. Not egypt/greece/israel
S400 can protect Turkish military forces from the US,Syria,Iran in Syria
S400 can protect Turkish military forces from egypt/greece/israel in the Eastern Mediterranean
Doing that would require unplugging it from nato.
I am saying again S400 will be integrated with national IFF System and EIRS early warning Radar for treacherous NATO allies such as the US,the UK,France,Greece also Israel and Egypt
S400 with national IFF System and EIRS early warning Radar can work without NATO
and if Turkey doesnt want , the US or anyone can not kick Turkey out of NATO ... Nato charter provides no mechanism for kicking members out of the alliance ...... There is no “ kicking out” in NATO
Ballistic missiles are more crucial. You can intercept planes with planes.
Turkey doesnt have big problem with Syria and Iran who have Ballistic Missiles
but the US , France , Israel , Greece , Egypt , S.Arabia and Uae have big problem with Turkey in Syria , Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean .... ( and they have no ballistic missiles )
never forget that American , French , British Warships can block airspace to Turkish Airforce in the Eastern Mediterranean ( then how to intercept Fighter Jets on Cyprus ? )
Turkish Navy has no AAW Frigates armed with high altitude long range air defense missiles
but the US,The UK,France have
Turkey urgently needs high altitude long range Air Defense System ( such as 250km S400 ) to protect Turkish Airspace , Aegean and EEZ in the Eastern Mediterranean
maybe you have no interest in gas reserves in the Eastern Mediterranean
but Turkish government and Turkish Armed Forces have interest in gas reserves in the Eastern Mediterranean
