Turkey has about 250 F-16 Aircraft...about 50 of which are Block 50.

19 Frigates, 14 type 209 subs and a few corvettes.

They cannot project power via air or sea against Israel.

They are BLUFFING. They have no capability to hinder Israeli operations in the Med.

And, the idea the could push their very large army through Syria and Lebanon without air cover or control of the adjacent sea lanes is little more than a suicide watch.

Erodgan’s bluff has been called by the Russians. Reports are they dispatched a couple nuke subs and a destoryer to the E. Med.

Erodgan would be a fool to even give thought to putting his words into action.
