Turk armed forces were formidable prior to Erdogan. I suspect Peck is right, this was a false flag operation setu up to preemptively eliminate opposition in the officer corps.

The Turkish Air Force used skycaps made from the bras of Imelda Marcos, another U.S. ‘ally’.

Quote: "...Turkey's government has purged its air force so badly that it can barely fly its F-16 fighters.

Perhaps if Erdogan stops persecuting non-muhamedans, he might get his air Force back. Of course, following the dictats of the founder of his religion, the pedophile/murder/rapist/terrorist/robber, Erdogan will persecute them. He stands little chance now, against anything more advanced than 7th century equipment and armies, exactly as his 'prophet' (profit) did.

The “purge” is akin to that conducted by Joseph Stalin. Results may soon be obvious.

Did I read correctly they fired the F-16 pilots and now are pressure-conscripting them back?

Can we send 500 Stingers to the Kurds to help with this?

Oopsie. Eventually Pooty-Poot and the Shiite-head will do an Ed Gien job on Erdogan's remains. Thanks BBell.

Their pilots being moozlems would be prone to flying them into buildings.

Idiot Erdogan, he of the microoenis, is a dick tator.

Why do we still need and want them in NATO?
