As Manolis Kostidis broadcasts from Istanbul, the Turkish president said: “Our country is the third that we have built in the last thousand years in Anatolia. We named the leap, which we aim to make in the political, economic, social and diplomatic fields, as ‘the century of Turkey’. We fought with the imperialists, who do not digest the political and economic independence of Turkey and carry out attacks in various forms and in various fields.
We are turning the hidden and open embargoes, our cunning attempts at isolation into an opportunity, and with our own steps and abilities, we have strengthened our power in every field.”
Threats with Tayfun
At the same time, the Turkish side is using the Tayfun ballistic missile to launch new threats. Yesterday a government official said that Tayfun proves that the 21st will be our century and added that this weapon shows where Turkey can go in the future.
On the other hand, concern is widespread in Turkey about the country’s weaponry, and especially about the F-16s.
Hurriyet newspaper columnist Sedat Ergin told A haber: “There is a program to modernize the F-16s into Vipers. Already at the beginning of September, the Greek Air Force received two of them and will continue to receive them. But in Turkey we don’t know if the modernization of the F-16s will start and when it will happen.”
She added: “They will also start the F-35 program with Greece, while they have excluded Turkey. We are talking about 5th generation aircraft. In the event that the US delivers these 5th generation aircraft and will not give them to Turkey, the experts I have spoken to tell me that if this situation continues and Turkey does not manage to make the national fighter, which will be delayed, then in the middle of this decade in 2026 or 2027 the balance of power in the ethers could be in favor of Greece, a fact that will affect Turkey’s deterrent power”.
