Turkey has one of the top 5 largest armies in NATO
#4 largest army in the world
Big army != Good army
Huh? Turkey is one of the most modernized armies in the region lmao
Have you seen arabs fight? Their like 7.62 lemmings, bearded skaven, sub-human wave tactics galore.
Turks aren't Arabs
<:petersonscream:484337806693629952>
I have little faith their warrior caste could beat the Slavics
Idk if afghans are totally arab but they've btfod every army who tried to settle there
Afghanistan remains fractured and unconquered til this day
Conventional war has never taken place there. Just 20th century brute force occupations.
They excel at asymmetrical warfare
Plus the Russians were using cold war tech that time around. Today, thats what the Turks are using- give or take a few smart missles
No lol
Pfft- fella, every contry that has guns would excell at that.
When you have fighting aged men willing to fight, you can't loose
Afghans have horses and AKs
Yet they still btfo westerners
Fighting on their home turf. What do you expect?
Turks are a modern army
As modern as Russia
They make their own military hardware
Alright, I'll give you that but Turkey is still a leaky boat.
They had that coup just a couple years ago.
I think that was staged
Rather people were fooled into taking part in it
Its what Erdogan wanted
Plus this move is fucking stupid- fighting Syria like they have a casis beli worth a darm.
I really can't say why Turkey is in Syria besides flexing their muscles
They have no business being there
Its almost like an illegal invasion of a sovereign nation
Assad's army is rekking the SNA
Assad remains strong
GOD SYRIA BASHAR
I will root for Bashar more than anyone else in this fight
I wanna see some T-14s rolling on Istanbul by halloween.
See how long they can rattle their saber with Supreme Leader Putin in power
Ultimately its in NATOs interest to aid Turkey if the situation calls for it
They control the bosphorus strait
Very important for trade
As far as western Europe is concerned it wouldn't benefit them at all if Russia strikes a partnership/goes to war and takes bosphorus strait
