Turkey has accelerated its military modernisation under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, expanding its domestic defence capabilities across missiles, drones, naval systems and combat aircraft. Turkey’s defence programme includes hypersonic-capable missile technology, cruise missiles and the development of the KAAN stealth fighter jet. The military buildup comes amid longstanding tensions with Greece over territorial claims in the Aegean Sea and the Cyprus dispute, as well as strained relations between Turkey and Israel. Meanwhile, Greece and Israel have strengthened defence cooperation, including an agreement involving air-defence systems. Erdogan has also called for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. --- Turkey vs Greece | Turkey Military Power | Greece Military Power | Recep Tayyip Erdogan | KAAN Fighter Jet | Turkey Hypersonic Missiles | Greece Israel Defence Deal | Turkey Greece Tensions | Aegean Sea Dispute | Israel Turkey Tensions | From The Frontline |
