Israel: KAAN to Piri Reis

Israel: KAAN to Piri Reis

In light of my question: "Who will save Jews this time", here is a double edge answer: Türkiye has indigenously developed major land, air, and sea military platforms and they are in mass production.

It was already troublesome to deal with the loss of US hegemony in the region. Then, the 2023 war came. Now, there is more to ponder for Israel: KAAN to Piri Reis are the Turkish game changers. Ironically, on another thought, how could they be any good for Jews and Israel?

TURKISH MILITARY PLATFORMS

Technologically superior major Turkish military platforms are too many to list. Highlighting only three of them should make the point. They are indigenously developed and into mass production.

One is on land and called Altay. More than a decade ago, Israel was supposed to have “indigenously” built a tank to sell to Türkiye. It never materialized. Türkiye walked out. Did the US have something to do with it?

Ever since, Turks also came up with KAAN and Piri Reis. KAAN challenges the Air Superiority of the US in the fifth-generation aircrafts. Piri Reis is a submarine that undermines the dominance of Germany.

In 1922, Türkiye kicked out invading powers, including the UK, France, and Italy to proclaim the Republic. It did not inherit much wealth from the Ottoman Empire like this photo depicts. What a difference a century makes! Now, Türkiye overwhelms the likes of the US and Germany.

Turkish Military Superiority

Türkiye, currently, is the dominant economic and military power of the entire region. Its reach extends from North Africa to the Horn of Africa and to the Balkans. These three major military platforms reflect the power projection.

Turks are known to be the most dominant and vicious land warriors. With Altay, their power projection will reminisce the days they introduced horse-back-arrow warfare. KAAN and Piri Reis will replicate their current might in other dimensions.

Turks will likely rewrite history in the air and at sea. KAAN, the fifth-generation aircraft, already undermines the F-35 and F-22. Piri Reis, a series of six submarines, is a prelude. Turks are to build indigenous MILDEN and STM500 next.
