Will the last modern Turk leaving, please turn out the lights.

Well if they get into a full scale war with Israel Ankara will be self lighting. Unlike Syria or even Egypt, Turkey is too big and too well armed to face in a conventional war. Israel will be forced to go unconventional before they are over run.

“Turkey is too big and too well armed to face in a conventional war.”

Reminds me of the “mother of all battles”.
Turkey bought a lot of toys,, but skill levels are laughable compared to the Israeli military. Review Syria and the Bekaa valley airwar. 80 Syrians down to zero for Israel.
The Turks only hope to face an Israeli attack would be to TRY to get NATO to join on the Turk side. This is doubtful because the Turks will start the agression,, or will create a clear and unambiguous imminent threat that causes an Israeli defensive response.

This was Already true, but now that the Turk military has been purged of professionals and islamicized, they are very weak. Also, Israel has no need at all for a land war with Turkey,, they only need to neutralize the Turk fleet and Air force. This is about a weeks job.

Last,, Turkey used to hire Israel to do the rebuilds of it’s fighters. Why didnt the Turks just do it at home? We all know the answer.
