BREAKING: Erdogan has agreed to send Sweden’s NATO membership application to parliament for ratification.


During Red Flag 2006 in Alaska one Gripen A pilot knocked down five F-16 block 50+ during close combat. During that exercise Gripen never lost any areal encounter or failed their mission objectives. It was the only fighter that performed all planned starts, while others were sitting on the ground waiting for the weather to clear up. The evaluation was that Gripens capacity needed to be revaluated. And no disrespect to other pilots, they are equally trained and in a Gripen would be performing equally well.

During a combat exercise with the Royal Norwegain Air Force, 3 Swedish Gripens went up against 5 RNAF F-16's. The Result was 5-0, 5-0, 5-1 after having flown 3 rounds.

How does the Saab JAS 39 Gripen compare to the F-16 Fighting Falcon?

Finland and Sweden joining NATO will change Europe's security landscape for years to come and further strain relations with Russia — The Washington Post. Nordic membership would give the Alliance an edge in the Baltics, providing additional protection for Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Also in the center of the sea is the Swedish island of Gotland. Stockholm last year announced a boost to its forces there, including expanding its barracks. The entry of the two countries will also mean a strengthening of NATO's presence in the Arctic. Since more than 50% of the coast of the Arctic Ocean belongs to Russia, Moscow will consider this moment as a matter of internal security. Sweden and Finland can help monitor the activity of Russian submarines based on the Kola Peninsula. There are fears that the Arctic will increasingly turn into a disputed area. Russia's border with NATO will also almost double.
 

The tweeker I heard is he wants EU membership.

Edrdogan wants safe maritime traffic in the Black Sea and EU membership.

Hungary won't block Sweden if Erdogan has managed to settle his differences about Sweden harboring what E considers terrorists opposed to his regime.
he wants to gain the confidence of the Ukrainian government while reducing his ties with Moscow.


Alternatively, Erdoğan may have concluded that Ukraine will be fully victorious in its counter-offensive and will continue to be supported with substantial weapons and economic aid by the Western powers. Hence, he wants to be at the forefront as a guarantor of Black Sea security and position Ankara for gaining lucrative contracts during Ukraine’s economic reconstruction. Either way, Erdoğan seems convinced that Russia is a declining power and Turkey needs to play a much more prominent strategic role in Europe and Eurasia.
 
Turkey is one of the MAIN beneficiaries of Moscow imperial collapse. Realistically , the New Ottomans can expend only into the STANS !
 
You always know when Winkle Titty is desperate for fresh BS to scribble . He posts multiple times consecutively . Six boring silly posts last time. Anyway , Nazi Winkle -- your boys are having terrible bad luck in new Russia .You are being run over the full length of the defence line . Will Kyiv throw in the towel this month or later? Suppose it depends on how many lives the Nazi Midget is prepared to sacrifice
