Turkish Armed Forces vs Israeli Defence Forces

[Kejo]

I haven't read the last pages but if you want the impartial opinion of a Turkish guy, here you go:

• due to Western backing, the IDF always had the upper hand when it came to propaganda which led to an unrealistic and unreliable image of Israel's capabilities and capacities

• if we exclude the Israeli nuclear weapons, Türkiye has always been more competent than the Israeli forces in handling insurgencies

• most of Israel's operations in Syria are protected by the US presence which is why Russia doesn't interfere and Israel is basically free to roam

• Türkiye had to deal with the so called Hendek wars in several major cities all across the southeast and, yet, the Turkish Security Forces managed to win decisively, see:

Hendek operasyonları - Vikipedi

tr.m.wikipedia.org

• Türkiye pushed PKK basically out of the country without imprisoning millions of its own citizens

• Israel's image has been damaged similarly to what has happened to Russia in Ukraine

• Technology is key, no objection from this corner, however, Israel is a living proof that getting the latest toys isn't everything if you lack the spirit of a fighter and have no plans for the day after


I am not a person who loves to indulge in self-praise but I sleep better knowing that the Turkish Military is capable of winning guerilla wars while being highly power-assertive against all militaries in our region at the same time.

Jews are pathological cowards. They look strong because of crusade grade western support and Hollywood propaganda...

unfortunately we can't exclude nuclear weapons since its all part of the package. I can't assess your net worth and not include your house.

IDF can not enter even the outskirts of Gaza
IDF doesnt know even what about hybrid war and urban warfare

Israeli Air Force bombing civilians in GAZA ... nothing else


on the other hand
A total of 35.786 PKK-YPG and ISIS terrorists have been neutralized by the Turkish Army as a result of operations since July 24, 2015 in Turkiye , Iraq and Syria


between 8 agust 2015 and 9 march 2016 , Turkish Army killed thousands of PKK terrorists in 22 Turkish districts

no any civilian loss .. because Turkiye did not use Air Force
just fight hand to hand in urban warfare

This is no contest , man for man turkish miiltary won due to their higher morale standard and their espirit de corps. IDF only survived because they are supported massively by NATO. Without NATO support they are nothing but city kids on tiyul (picnic)

Shouldn't that tell Turkey and the pro-NATO Turkish members of PDF here? The US is willing to go to war if Russia harms Israel in the middle east. On the contrary, the US props up YPG and PKK against Turkey openly - and even have senators boasting about it.

Will the US come to the aid of Turkey of things get serious? No, of course not. They would come to Israel's aid though, as proven just by the recent events.

Turkey can easily roll Israel in few days with their superior military , IDF have no strategic depth to resist turkish invasion and no manpower reserve. There is no Pro NATO turkish people , there is only Pro Turkish people , those who are not pro turkey is not turkish
