Turkish analysts: “We will crush the Americans who installed the HIMARS missiles in Syria”

At the same time, the Turks refer again to the range of the Tayfun ballistic missile claiming that it is now 1000 kilometers. “We launched the missile and the Greeks and the Americans tried to answer us. We will crush the Americans who installed the HIMARS missiles in Syria” says a Turkish analyst, while CNN Turk claims that “there is a great interest of Greece in Tayfun”

In a television station, the journalist Fulya Ozturk reported: “Roketsan has manufactured such a Tayfun missile that Greece is closely interested in and the whole world is wondering. What is the characteristic of Tayfun?’

-Eray Gützluer, retired officer – military analyst: Tayfun is the Turkish surface-to-surface missile with a range of 1000 km

-Fulja Ozturk, journalist: But how do you say this when it has not been announced that it reaches 571 kilometers? It has not been officially announced but they are talking about such a range.

-Erai Gutschluer, retired officer – military analyst: No, no there is a special technique. Those who are in the military know this. I can explain our method to you, but we measured and its range is 1000 km, yes 1000 km.

When we had launched this rocket from Rizunda, then the Greek commander of the Armed Forces had gone to Chios and performed magic. It was only on May 27 that it was announced that we would start mass production of the missile, one day before the elections. That week the Americans transferred HIMARS missiles to their forces in Syria. HIMARS has a range of 80 km, Tayfun has a range of 1000 km with a deviation of 1.5 meters. That is, we will crush them. You don’t say some things with diplomacy but with actions. Turkey saw that message and responded.”

Erdogan: With God’s help we opened Hagia Sophia

Finally, the Turkish president explained in his speech why he turned Hagia Sophia into a mosque: “In Turkey, we made the greatest successes in history from democracy, to freedoms and rights, from defense to diplomacy. If there is a cause of ours, a fight of ours for Hagia Sophia, we learned this cause of ours from Nejop Fazil. In the square of Sultan Ahmet, he said, “Agia Sophia will open, Agia Sophia will open.” We felt this spirit, this angle, this meaning and with God’s help we opened Hagia Sophia”.
