They alone could annihilate the ROC with their eyes closed even with the mainland Turkish army removed.

The Turkish Cypriot army wasn't included here to avoid its unfair advantage because it's in a league of its own called the... "Ones with their eyes closed"

The mainland Turkish army is only there as a mediator to ensure that the Greeks play it fair if the North and South went to war again

Because they are not a recognised army. Vigilante group is probably more accurate! :lol:

I cannot reconcile bravery with military technology.

Remember the 'Brave' USA navy shelling Beirut from 100's of miles away?

Wrong poll.

Go back to the Korean war, and excluding the USAF, the ground forces were the brave ones. Among the bravest and the most heroic were the (numerically small) contingents from Turkey and Greece. (not from Turkish sources). Nowadays who can tell. How far away are the 'commanders' from the battlefield?

Thank god your leaders are not as stupid as you lot and attempt such a foolish suicide...

Iceman, which weapon in Turkey's inventory has such a capability?

Their mentality...

Not good enough. You're propagating misinformation because Turkey has nothing of the sort I assure you.

It's a common TC tactic to try and scare GCs into submission so that their illegal hold on the occupied areas is preserved.

Turkey has what is called a “conventional army” Iceman, so there are no frills other than large numbers, most of which will be busy elsewhere…my estimates is that Turkey will not be prepared to assign/expend more than 60,000 for the “TRNC”.

Are you seriously suggesting that they need more? :roll:

You left out a few good candidates like S.Africa, Germany, Italy...

Italy? Now I believe you have a sense of humour. :lol:

How the hell are you going to defeat the RoC with a mere 60,000?
