Turkish Foreign Policy and Regional Geopolitics

I think the Saudis paid for several warheads already from what I read, when the time comes, Pakistan is to deliver the warheads to Saudi. Those Dong Feng-3 missiles they bought from China are Nuclear capable, their acquisition in such small numbers make no sense otherwise, they aren't designed for conventional strike.

DF-3 are notoriously inaccurate and obsolete ballistic missiles. I think China has retired/replaced them. Also, nuclear warheads aren't exactly "one size fits all." We do not precisely know the physical form factor of Pakistani warheads or if they can fit on DF-3. Some engineering may be required. KSA might as well through money at Pakistan to enhance and expand its solid-fuel missile fleet to provide comprehensive coverage for the Kingdom.

In 2007, Saudi Arabia purchased the DF-21 as an upgrade to the DF-3. The DF-21's accuracy reached the 20m grade, and it can carry nuclear weapons.

One pic like this is enough to make Turks think Trump places Turkey on top of every country in the world,even Israel.

TRUMP vs ERDOGAN




TRUMP vs European Leaders ..... ( Germany , France , The UK , Italy , etc )

Indeed. But the gentleman specifically mentioned DF-3. So, thought to weigh in on it a little. I believe PLA has also replaced its DF-3 with DF-21?

Yes,he will hand over the presidency of USA to Recep Tayip Erdogan. It is obvious by the chairs sitting side by side.

Yes.

The DF-3's accuracy was not very good, and in 2007, the Saudi government kept complaining about the DF-3s precision in the media, so the Chinese government could only agree to sell the DF-21 to Saudi Arabia.

I read that F35's were greenlit during Mr Erdogan's visit in last few days. This is a huge defeat for Israel isn't it ?

also huge defeat for Greece

I mean Greece and Turkey wars are a thing of the past. I am aware of the history and do get that residual tensions will remain for a very long time.

But Turkey-Israel is a different story. Noone is expecting a full scale war but certainly some wrestling in the future over Syria and Cyprus. And the F35's will force Israel to change a lot of its plans and calculations.

in the future over Syria and Cyprus ?

Turkish KAAN , KIZILELMA , ANKA-3/4 will be more dangerous than American control F-35 against Israel

Israel has no chance of winning against Turkiye which is the most powerful country in the region.

Turkish Defense Industry will force Israel to change a lot of its plans and calculations.

Turkey-Israel potential conflict is an interesting dynamic. It raises a lot questions, especially for NATO and on NATO.

NATO has become a joke the last 10 years.

Indeed. During the Iran-Israel battle, many Israeli govt and air force planes moved to RAF bases in Cyprus. Israelis have been buying up real estate in Cyprus and also moving more military hardware there.

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

For those who believe this is far fetched...well Israeli attack on Iran and Qatar were considered very far fetched some time back.

and also moving more military hardware there.

Where's that coming from?
