Turkey finally breaks off military partnership with Israel

The Turkish Ministry of Defense intends to finally abandon the Israeli drones. Experts do not exclude that this step is politically motivated.

According to the Defense News, in the near future, the Turkish Defense Ministry plans to return to the Israeli side three Aerostar unmanned aircraft, which, according to the Turkish military, "have proven poorly in operations against the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK).

What exactly are the claims, not specified. It is emphasized only that the Turks had not previously sent any complaints to the leadership of the Israeli company Aeronautics Defense Systems, which produces drones.

Aerostar UAVs worth 10 million dollars were delivered to Turkey on a long-term rental basis in 2007, in compensation for the delay in the previously ordered Heron and Harpy-2 UAVs worth 185 million.

The Defense News publication explains that the customer received Harpy-2 in 2008 a year late. The six Heron units were shipped in March to 2010. Subsequently, the contract for Heron was frozen.

Experts do not exclude that the return of Aerostar to Israel may be the planned completion of the lease of drones. Moreover, at present Turkey is actively developing its own UAVs. In particular, based on the Anka reconnaissance UAV, created by the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) company, it was planned to make a drone drone. In total, the Ministry of Defense of Turkey intended to acquire Anka 10 reconnaissance UAVs, which were scheduled for testing in June 2012.

            Why don’t you confuse a Jew? The Russians did not attack the Germans first. We were not the first to start that war as compensation for the destruction and loss of which the USSR took these lands from the Germans. And not one USSR incidentally took part of the land from the Germans and Japanese as a winner.
            The military might of the USSR destroyed the war machine of Germany. And the allies of the USSR - the USA and England, and later, France, defeated by Hitler - clinging to the USSR, the winner skillfully seized the entire gold reserve of Germany, which is in these "victorious" countries to this day. That is, Germany is still occupied by the United States and Britain. It's better what precedent the Jew with the German flag is talking about in the first place. Or is it hard to bite your hand when the other hand is holding your balls?

          the Islamists have a short memory of where their countries earned money, Egypt after the revolution became somehow radical, and suddenly a ghoul asks to abduct tourists, and called for the sphinx to be demolished.

      At a disco in Germany, a Russian is dancing in a T-shirt with the inscription: "The Turks have three problems."
      A Turk immediately comes up to him and asks: “Why do you want to run over?”
      Russian, calmly: - This is your first problemma. Aggressiveness. You are always trying to create problems from scratch ...
      When the disco ends, a group of Turks is already waiting for the Russian.
      “Now you will answer for your words,” they say.
      - This is your second problem. You cannot solve your problems on your own and immediately collect your "friends" for any reason.
      - How dare you talk to us like that!?! - Turks raised knives ...
      “This is your third problem,” the Russian continues. - You always come to a shootout with knives.

          4. After the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt, as a result of the increasing oppression of the ancient Jews (allies of the Hyksos), the exodus of the Jews begins, the unification of 12 tribes and their conquest of ancient Canaan (Palestine).

              An excerpt from the interview of the leader of the "Georgian Dream" coalition Bidzina Ivanishvili to "The New Times" appeared in the media, in which he allegedly expressed bewilderment with the behavior of the Armenians. According to press releases, Ivanishvili said the following:
              "Here, for example, Armenians live here. And I am amazed: their homeland is nearby, but they live here. For you, probably, there is no such question. But for me it is not clear. I lived in France, a year in America, and I began to dream about my village, my land ... "

              I decided to make excuses, it turned out even worse
              I am delighted with the special gift of Armenians and Jews that they can be citizens of the world, they are successful everywhere, where they live, and have a strong diaspora. We, Georgians, are such an amazing people that, unfortunately, we could not settle down anywhere and create a strong diaspora. This was the main context of my response. Immediately I want to note once again that Georgia is a multinational country and is the homeland for all the peoples living here "

A little later, the Russians will separate and receive, as a reward, finally, access to the Dardanelles and the Mediterranean Sea, which I have long dreamed of - on the thread with Wasserman's article read about the "useful" revolution, it seems like they should agree, someone is close to you in a certain sense , almost a relative -)))). Are you happy about that, Pimply? After all, access to the sea and Russian influence in the Middle East will finally come true?

    Turkey already sees itself in the near future as the leader of Muslim states - and is slowly refusing to compromise friendship with Israel.

    The Ottoman Empire has long been gone, but the show-off remained. East is a delicate matter, however :)

      It may or may not be it — the Ottoman empire .. Only here the Turks in the Southern Federal District (in the Caucasus) began to behave very aggressively. As the owners. Conflicts, fights, lawlessness., Buying up houses (where so much money from?). extrusion of the indigenous population

    Looking from my belfry (a communications officer in reserve), I can assume that the Turks are afraid of espionage. There will be more smart goals in the defense industry complex in Israel than in Turkey ... hi

    Trade turnover between Israel and Turkey increased in 2011, despite the cool political relations between the two states, states Today's Zaman newspaper on Sunday, May 6.

    The publication reports that in 2011 Turkey imported Israeli products for a record amount of $ 2 billion. Over the same period, Israel, according to Ankara, imported $ 2,4 billion worth of Turkish products.

    In the first quarter of 2012, bilateral trade amounted to a billion dollars, which is more than in the same period of 2011.

    The only affected industry is tourism. In 2011, 80.000 Israelis visited Turkey, which is about 30% less than in 2010. But, according to the newspaper, after the Israeli authorities canceled the warning about trips to Turkey, the number of tourists should increase.
