Don’t believe that. The Poles would turn back the Turks at the Gates of Vienna long before they reached German territory.

In addition, Erdogan has imprisoned most of the best officers and pilots for that “coup” attempt.

You do have a point about Erdo Stalinizing his officer corps.

As for the Poles, good morale, but the units and leadership have probably been Natoized. And you have less than 80,000 soldiers with about 1000 tanks. The Turks have about 300,000 soldiers and about 2400 tanks.

As for tanks, the Poles have about 250 Leopards to the Turks 400 Leopards although the Poles are upgraded; after that it is upgraded T-72s against upgraded M-60s.
