Taking a forum post, posted by who knows who in order to generalise in such a gross manner, is completely typical and not very smart either… We are supposed to be grown-ups, please use an adult argument for a change… :rolleyes:
One could argue that those who worship the Army whom they consider the basic pillar of their society, without which everything would disintegrate, are the ones who still live in the past… Especially when they are not doing much in order to comply with the obligations for reforms for which they have signed…
For those who comment on the disposition of forces, pleaze keep in mind two things, first that its the ground forces and especially the amphibious 4th Turkish Army which has as its mission to capture “enemy islands” when the only ones facing it are thousands of Greek ones and nothing else, and second that things in the air are very hot on almost a daily basis for over 30 years now. When fighter a/c from another country try to challenge your sovereignty and fly over your islands, it would be stupid not to take care of it…
Now since this is quickly turning political, I will not comment further, let’s stick to the fighters…
From what Beleg posted, I did not see any referrence to Block 30s or unmodernised F-4s at all… If you are speaking from other articles you may have read that are in Turkish, please elaborate. If however these 2 reports are your source, I do not see how you came to this conclusion… Logic says that the unmodernised F-4s will be the first to go, while I am not so sure about the B30s…
Taking into account similar Turkish purchase programs and their long history, I think its still early to be sure of anything, based on ambiguous press
reports…
Doesn’t matter what fighter Turkey buys. The real interesting part of this is whether we’ll see another attempt by the Greek Cypriots to import high-end Russian SAM systems :diablo:
Which ones did they get last? :diablo:
