Turkey has never been a good ally.

They elected to purchase the Russian S-400 SAM system, which no other NATO country uses, and were shocked when we pulled them out of the F-35 program. Get fricked Erdogan.

He turned the Haiga Sophia into a functioning mosque, used our Apaches against essentially rioters during the attempted coup, and all kinds of other shite.

Should we ask Grok?

They probably did.

I'll believe them after a flight test.

The obsession with hypersonic missiles has confused too many. The recent advancements made by China, Russia, and now the US referred to “hypersonics” is a reference to the capability of a missile to maneuver while traveling hypersonic, not merely travel at hypersonic speeds. Cold war ballistic missiles were capable of traveling at hypersonic speeds but only in a precalculated ballistic trajectory that could be intercepted due to it having a calculable path. Previously it was not possible to create a missile that both has a speed of mach 5+ and travels in an unpredictable variable trajectory while still being able to hit a precise target. What Turkey has produced is a ballistic missile similar to was used during the cold war without meaningful maneuverability.

Israel can barely handle small terrorist groups. They would get their arse beat against Turkey. (And Iran)

“Against Israel though, Turkey has no shot.”

Are you saying it would be a Turkey shoot?

It's a joke to claim things you haven't tested.

I could weld together some tin cans and claim this.

To build a rocket with a 6000 km range, you may need to weld 55 gal drums together.

Against Greece, I got Turkey.


IDK man. Russia may actually have their back as well as a lot of the Balkans.

Imagine a change to take back Constantinople and The Hagia Sophia

They velocities are incredibly high as the missile reenters the earths atmosphere.

I recall my old school yard joke — you throw Turkey into Greece to feed Hungary on fine China.

Greece certainly would hurt such a rear assault.


I’ve always wondered, if Turkey were to attack Iraq from the back would Greece help.

What is there maximum velocity a warhead on a ballistic missile would be trailing as it hit a target 600 feet above sea level?

Damn, I used to know how to calculate that, about 50 years ago!

Now I can't match my socks.

The population is predominantly Muslim, but they are considered secular in matters of state. This is more of a response to the combination of Russia's war in Ukraine and the US making noise about pulling out of NATO. European countries (Turkey lies in Asia and Europe) realize now that they have to take responsibility for defending themselves. Turkey is not a threat to Isreal or the US.


Erdogan has undone much of Attaturk's secular advances and made being Allahu Akbar great again. The nation has always been an iffy ally on a good day. Being astride two continents, makes it nation built on trade.

Liquid fueled is so several decades ago. The LOX needs chilling at cryo temps to keep in liquid state or it hs to be released to the atmosphere
