Turkish Military budget

Recon.Army (talk) 09:07, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to add citation for the figure which would be this. Also, perhaps the budget should be listed as $11-16 billion (varies by source) given that Jane's (given as a previous reference) has the budget estimated at $16 billion. Both sources are generally respected and accurate, and I suspect the difference comes Turkey's own policy of keeping it's defence budget opaque. - Jonathon A H (talk) 14:42, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

lol hahah $11 billion haha thats a small weak military budget. turkey is weak. 194.46.165.106 (talk) 21:45, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that was remarkably unhelpful... And please do tell me of the 'mighty' Irish Defence Forces... Anyway, this isn't a forum, please keep it constructive. Also keep in mind that the Turkish defence budget doesn't include a number of things such as equipment purchase allocations or research and development. Also keep in mind that, due to conscription, recruiting is virtually unnecessary, and wages can be kept very low. $11-16 billion goes quite far that way. - Jonathon A H (talk) 22:52, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Turkish Armed Forces ACTUAL budget is not public knowledge. The Turkish Armed Forces has shares in many corporate entities. For Example, the OYAK group is wholly owned by the TAF and has revenues in excess of $50 billion. OYAK Groups has interests in cement plants, banks etc. The TAF also has income from the Turkish cow hide industry and lotteries. The officially announced budget of $11 billion is not enough for the expenses of the military personel let alone 116 F-35, 1 x 28,000 Ton LPD, 12 Corvettes/Frigates, A national fighter program, Satellite programs, balistic missile shields etc etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.150.241.156 (talk) 05:58, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Purpose, strategy and tactics?

I think there is too much here on its history and politics: they could be moved to the more specific articles which are mentioned and linked to.

But there is almost nothing on its main purpose, which is presumably to fight the PKK, or what strategy and tactics it is using now (not in past decades but in this one) and whether they are effective or not e.g. UAVs and cross-border raids. Nor on whether it has any role in fighting KCK urban terrorism or whether that is all done by the police. And there is nothing on how the modernisation mentioned is supposed to help with anti-terrorism. And nothing on NATO co-operation re anti-terrorism.

I do not mean that I want anything revealed which might help the PKK or KCK, but there is no point in keeping secret stuff the PKK know already and that they know the TAF knows they know.

the Turkish Military budget

the military budget of turkey is $25 billion. source: http://globalfirepower.com/country-military-strength-detail.asp?country_id=Turkey 88.64.182.125 (talk) 12:15, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But at the bottom of that source it says "Material presented throughout this website is for historical and entertainment value." Jzlcdh (talk) 16:28, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When Turkey Spend 2,7% Of His Economy On His Military Defense Budget Then It's Over $33 Billion. However.. But It's Absolutely More Than $15.1 Billion Which Represents Only 1,3% Of Turkish Economy. 88.64.182.125 (talk) 20:05, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
