It was only a matter of time until relations between Israel and the Turks soured, the stupid Turks just can't help themselves.
Turkey is not the superpower in the region, its Israel.
Deffo only one super-power in the area... and does it say anything that a year ago a Turkish jet was shot down just off the Syrian coast whereas a few days ago the Israeli Airforce were able to destroy targets in downtown Damascus without loss.
Israel is the regions superpower and it will not take any shit from Turkey!
The IAF is considered by many to be the best in the world! They have the most combat experience but still I'm not sure how they accurately measure this, but incidentally most NATO nations, including Greece and Turkey, Israel, and other allies like Australia do attend Red Flag at Nellis Air Force Base in the Nevada Desert.
The Israelis are always up there. The Greeks are ranked highly as well, and their F-16s scored more kills against USAF F-15s and they are the only Air Force to score a kill against a USAF F-22 Raptor! That was only a couple of years ago. Fair Dinkum!
And the Turkish air force scores first place for bombing small defenseless nations, being chased out of the Aegean and getting shot down over Syria by a big machine gun.
