Insane 🇹🇷Turkish President Erdogan said he would do it. In one year, he officially did.
Now 🇹🇷Turkey is building missiles at an aggressive rate.
In 2025, Erdogan said Turkey would make many medium- and long-range missiles so other countries would think twice before threatening it.
Fifteen months later, they opened huge new factories, started giving Tayfun missiles to the army, tested one that can hit a moving ship, and said a bigger, faster version is almost ready for mass production. They also showed a new long-range missile project.
Opinion: A lot of people ignored the speech. This looks like Erdogan’s master, and makes Turkey too strong to push around.
