There is nothing magical about military dominance. IMO the Israelis have faired so well against the Arabs not because of technical superiority (which they have not always had), but because Arabs have proven to be poor warriors on the battlefield. And as I said, Turks are not Arabs.

Tne newest ship is a nicely balanced corvette. (on seaworthiness and endurance (and equipment) really light frigate sized)

Somehow I see the Turkish pilots flying F4E Terminators all calling in sick if there is a conflict with Israel. The avionics are Israeli. Those M60T tanks are Israeli Sabras.

A conflict over the Israeli-Cyprus gas fields would bring Turkey into conflict with Greece and Russia. Not a smart move.
