The Greek Rafales have caused a headache for Erdogan who is looking for a way to stop them.
Rafale: Erdogan begs to give him weapons to face Greek fighters.
It may have passed as a meeting that confirmed the good relationship between Italy and Turkey, but things were not exactly like that.
Turkey, with the purchase of the Russian S-400s, has been left without new generation fighters, after being expelled from the program to build and buy 100 American F-35s, while the Russian air defense system cannot even operate autonomously.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan tried to convince Mario Draghi to help sell Franco-Italian SAMP/T missiles to the Turks.
Of course, Italy must get France’s OK to give Turkey the missile, which between us the next day will have been copied and in a few years will be launched as a Turkish missile, as happened with the Bayraktar, which the Turks copied from the Israelis.
In any case, Turkey is losing ground to new generation weapons either on the ground or in the air.
