It's a stupid question because uneducated nincompoops like you and Y-Fronts (with an obvious zero military experience) assume that Cyprus has no defense and at the same time are worrying why she is arming up! You contradict yourselves…
What you should be asking is HOW LONG can Cyprus’ defenses last for against this particular enemy, in which case I can assure you that she can last long enough for very sweet revenge… and don’t ever forget that.
Imagine,just imagine the impact on the UN,the EU and the world public opinion if RoC declared they would abolish the CNG sell all their military equipment,and spend the defence budget on measures to improve trust ,understanding,and respect between all Cypriots...
You’re asking the RoC to abandon her defense and use that money to build “trust” with those that parlay with the invader/occupier??? What are you stupid?
And what exactly would you have sacrificed in the meantime? Less mouchos?
Very predictable and silly bravodo,as expected from Tiberius (with a keyboard)! The sensible question remains...Why spend all this money on armaments knowing you will never be able to or allowed to use??? FAced with a formidable "enemy" intelligent people do not fight with the "enemy's" chosen weapons,but finds other more viable ways to defend themselves...I guess I answered my own question,I said "intelligent people"...
You just don’t get it do you… there is no bravado here, I’m giving you FACTS…
With Tor M1, Buk M1, Mistral, Aspide (OTHELLOS SKYGUARD), Oerlikon, and now Tangasta, surface to air missile systems don’t expect a TAF cake walk!
Now what exactly would you have sacrificed in the meantime?
