Turkish Foreign Policy and Regional Geopolitics

[MMM-E]

If in future Israel strikes at someone from their assets on RAF bases in Cyprus, say Turkey, what will the Turks do ?

Turkish SIPER Air Defense Systems will be enough to turn any Fighter Jets into scrap of metal if they use RAF bases in Cyprus

Greek Cypriots bought BARAK-MX AD System from Israel , now Turkiye has right to deploy SIPER Air Defense Systems in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus


ALP-300G to detect the F-35 from 120+ km away and 150+ km SIPER B2 air to air missiles to hit the F-35 when it took off from RAF bases


----------------------------

Israeli F-16s and F-15s are easier targets for S400 Air Defense System with 240-380 km 48N6E3 and 40N6E air to air missiles , if they use RAF bases in Cyprus

Greek Cypriots bought BARAK-MX AD System from Israel , now Turkiye has right to deploy SIPER Air Defense Systems in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus

Lol,because if they hadn't bought Barak MX,you wouldn't move Siper to Cyprus when you had enough systems in production

Israeli F-16s and F-15s are easier targets for S400 Air Defense System with 240-380

Yeah,Israelis so dumb,that's why they've bombed everywhere from Syria to Houthiland to Iran,to Qatar avoiding AA systems.

 

[MMM-E]

Lol,because if they hadn't bought Barak MX,you wouldn't move Siper to Cyprus when you had enough systems in production

And this is a wet dream Israeli F-35s to take off from RAF bases in Cyprus

but Turkiye produce more SIPER Systems for €1,5 billion and deliveries will start in 2027

Yeah,Israelis so dumb,that's why they've bombed everywhere from Syria to Houthiland to Iran,to Qatar avoiding AA systems.

Russians never used S400s against Israeli Fighter Jets in Syria
Iran does not have S400s
Houtsis dont have even modern Air Defense Systems
and Qatar has only American control PATRIOTs


F-15 and F-16 can not enter Turkish Airspace when S400 protect Turkish Airspace

 

[Foinikas]

And this is a wet dream Israeli F-35s to take off from RAF bases in Cyprus

And? What you gonna do,attack British sovereign ground?

but Turkiye produce more SIPER Systems for €1,5 billion and deliveries will start in 2027

Again the vague grammar: Produce? What produce? Is producing? Will produce? Might produce? Has already produced?

Russians never used S400s against Israeli Fighter Jets in Syria
Iran does not have S400s
Houtsis dont have even modern Air Defense Systems
and Qatar has only American control PATRIOTs

Sopar power S-400

 

[Foinikas]

and Qatar has only American control PATRIOTs

Qatar has more than Patriot

F-15 and F-16 can not enter Turkish Airspace when S400 protect Turkish Airspace

Why? Turkish S-400s have a special coating of protection? They are better than the Russian version?

 

[MMM-E]

Qatar has more than Patriot

You are so funny
THAAD is for Ballistic Missiles
and 60 km NASAMS is even inferior to 160 km PATRIOT against Fighter Jets

maybe you want to shoot down the F-15/16s with old RAPIER or STINGER as like you dreamed to intercept TAYFUN Ballistic Missile with CROTALE low altitude Air Defense System .. lol

And? What you gonna do,attack British sovereign ground?

Stop dreaming and attack on Turkiye from RAF bases in Cyprus then whole World will see what will happen

loser team with wet dreams ...

Why? Turkish S-400s have a special coating of protection?

F-15 or F-16 have a special coating of protection ?

even outdated S-200 hit Israeli F-16I

240-380 km S400 is a great threat to F-15 and F-16 in they enter range of S400 missiles

Sopar power S-400

Ukraine used land based Missiles to do it and S400 is against aerial targets
Israel is tiny country and all Air Bases are in range of Turkish Cruise and Ballistic Missiles

Again the vague grammar: Produce? What produce? Is producing? Will produce? Might produce? Has already produced?

Turkiye has already produced SIPER Air Defense Systems and entered the inventory

now Turkiye produces more SIPER Air Defense Systems to be delivered in 2027

and only USA , Turkiye and France in NATO

 

[Foinikas]

THAAD is for Ballistic Missiles
and 60 km NASAMS is even inferior to 160 km PATRIOT against Fighter Jets

I'm not saying they'd shoot down F-15s with THAAD. I'm showing you they had other options. Since you nagged about Patriot being American. The whole thing is,were they detected by radars? Did they deceive the radars? Did they avoid detection somehow?
Qataris probably already knew of the hit,but I'm mentioning all the questions above because like always,you rush in and insisting Turkey cannot be harmed in no way,by nothing and nobody.

maybe you want to shoot down the F-15/16s with old RAPIER or STINGER as like you dreamed to intercept TAYFUN Ballistic Missile with CROTALE low altitude Air Defense System .. lol

Oh yeah? You're the guy who kept spamming for years about how Israelis lost one F-16 to S-200 in Syria. Now you find it impossible for NASAMS,Rapier,Roland(if it's really in service)and Mistral to get a hit on low-flying F-15s. Basically your whole argument is "oooh Turkiye have S-400,other no have S-400,that why other get bombed"

That's why they could fucking plan a PRE-EMPTIVE strike while you're here boasting of Turkish superiority and invincibility.

240-380 km S400 is a great threat to F-15 and F-16 in they enter range of S400 missiles

You actively choose to ignore the fact that IAF has a tradition and very long record of taking out enemy AA defences or bypassing them with a combination of tactics and weapons. That has enabled them to strike in places thought out of reach to them: Like the Bekaah Valley in 1982,the Osirak reactor,Assadist Syria,Iran(and Tehran of all places),Sudan,Yemen,Qatar.

You two, cut it out, this is the diplomatic forum section for foreign policy, not the defense section, no derailment please.

Reports: Egypt Rejects Libyan Maritime Territorial Claims​

26.09.2025 23:36

The Egyptian reaction, according to reports in Greek media on Friday, also dispute Libyan claims for hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation blocks in the east Mediterranean​

Egypt’s permanent mission to the UN has reportedly delivered a “note verbale” – a formal diplomatic communication – dismissing Libyan assertions over the outer limits of a continental shelf that the Tripoli-based GNU government has declared.

The Egyptian reaction, according to reports in Greek media on Friday, also dispute Libyan claims for hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation blocks in the east Mediterranean.

The same reports have the Cairo government explicitly rejecting the limits of the Libyan continental shelf as declared and shown on various maps unveiled by Tripoli, with the former maintaining that they overlap with Egypt’s western maritime boundary.

Furthermore, according to the reports, the Egyptian side has declared its determination to defend its rights, which are grounded in international law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

Greece has previously and formally responded to Libya’s diplomatic protest regarding the publication of maritime concession maps southwest of Crete. The Greek Permanent Mission to the United Nations had submitted an official reply, clarifying the legal basis for the country’s maritime boundaries and resource exploration activities.

Greek Position Based on International Law​

The response outlines the boundaries of Greece’s territorial waters, continental shelf, and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), all defined in accordance with international law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). According to Greece, its territorial waters in the Ionian Sea and up to Cape Tainaron extend to 12 nautical miles. The statement also references agreements Greece has signed with Egypt (partial EEZ delimitation) and Italy.

Trump links Turkey sanctions relief to cutting Russian oil trade

This is doable, I was worried it would be about Israel or Syria policy, but if its just Russian oil, then this is not too significant. Turkey can just buy Saudi oil, its not as cheap as Russian oil, but it will suffice.

Natural Gas would be harder, but if its just Oil, this can be done.

How to sell this to the Russians though while keeping relations steady and not create tension, would be interesting.

It struck me as a bit odd that Israel remained silent about Turkish UAVs coming so close to Israeli territorial waters.

Akinci was in international water, flying overhead of Spanish Italian and Turkish ships in convey, they would be incredibly foolish to try to shoot it down.
