Yes,but how useful would it be for Turkey to launch an attack from Somalia or an operation from Libya? The problem is,from Libya,it's farther away and there's Egypt between you. The problem with Somalia is even farther away and Saudis,Jordanians and Egyptians could inform them. Syria,the moment they see big army movements closing in,they will start bombing. Even if you start sending forces little by little,under the pretext of helping the Syrian government or sending them there to train them or for common exercises or whatever,they would at some point give an ultimatum and then start bombing while the Turkish forces in Syria are still relatively small in number.
Your mindset is overly rigid and quite unbending. It frequently brings to mind antiquated strategies from the Cold War era. Türkiye's presence in Somalia, located very much at the entrance of the Red Sea, poses a genuine threat to Israel, as the Turks can simultaneously disrupt trade through Mediterranean sea ports as well. This means that Ankara possesses the capability to halt Israeli trade with the global market - literally. Nothing goes in and out of Israel if the Turks would seriously intervene.
A quick Google search shows us that
approximately 98% of Israel's total international trade volume is conducted via sea, utilizing its main commercial ports in Haifa, Ashdod, and Eilat.
Also, facing an enemy attacking from all sides is a nightmare for every military force on this planet. You are underestimating the severity of the threat.
Yes,but personally I think you're not able to withstand a massive Israeli Airforce attack yet. I'm not talking about 2030 or 2035 when the majority of your military projects will be finished and a lot of your new equipment will be in active service and mass production.
Once more, the F16s paired with AWACS, network-centric military operations, a formidable navy equipped with air defense capabilities, Northern Cyprus serving as an unsinkable aircraft carrier, and robust air defense along the coastline present a nightmare scenario for Israel.
I think right now,Turkey is still very vulnerable to an IAF raid.
I recommend that you examine Israel's assault on Iran more closely and consider how cautiously, even excessively, their IAF has conducted operations in Iranian airspace, despite being technologically superior by an unimaginable degree. If you believe they could easily breach Turkish airspace without significant losses, you are mistaken.
If they got no ammunition and spare parts support from the US and/or other Western countries,they would lose the war if Turkey managed to keep them occupied for more than a month of intense war. That's why they're tactic should be to try and take out the majority of the Turkish Navy and several important military installations and defence industry complexes and centres.
Another error in judgment. Europe would disintegrate over this issue. Eastern European nations would band together against the handful of pro-Israeli EU countries to prevent Türkiye from aligning with Russia, as they would bear the consequences of this significant change long before the rest of Europe.
Unfortunately,that hasn't prevented the American governments to stop spending money to help them since the Yom Kippur War.
But that would bring Turkey and Erdogan in open war with USA and its closest allies(Britain for example).
Israel has never publicly and openly confronted Türkiye. Everything you mention has occurred within the framework of Arab-Israeli conflicts. However, the situation with Türkiye is distinct. Ankara has recently welcomed Washington to the Caucasus, allowing the US to strengthen its ties with Türkiye. It's important to recognize that Turkish-American relations operate under their own unique set of guidelines.
