This is in response to all the "plastic" Greek heroes and the dreaming GC idiots existing on tyhis island. They have been getting their arse kicked ever since 600 years ago, from Byzantine times and have learned nothing!
To start with someone who has been having serious problems with "getting real" over the past 7-8 years of posting in this forum, if you have any "personal" problems with TCs and believe the likes of you are in majority in South, then WHY THE FLUCK DON'T YOU PICK UP YOUR STATE OF THE ART WEAPONRY YOU HAVE BEEN PURCHASING AND KICK THE ASS OUT OF THE TURKISH ARMY OUT OF CYPRUS? The likes of you contemplated getting back İstanbul (old Byzantine "Constantinople") for 500 years - and look what happened!
As for the illiterate, ill informed Byzantine peasant B25, I do not hide myself like cowards (as you do) using a different name in every other forum. THERE IS only ONE "BIG OZ" and this is the man! Hokey cockey? You think you worry me by telling me what I teach? Well let me tell you more about what I teach besides Turkish language, Business Studies, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, IT, C++ and Excel VBA programming, Flying (qualified flight instructor), Professional Web and Graphic design... and couple of smaller less important things as they come up! SO, what have you been teaching lately peasant?
TAI - Turkish Aviation Industry has been producing F16 for the past 20 years. 70% of the aircraft structure is home produced. Almost 2 years ago, USA gave the "source code" software for the "arms load up" of the fighter - something only USA had in possession. Everyone else who buys F16 for their air force can only load up missiles and weaponry built by US (that fits the code). Turkey can and has been developing her own missiles and war heads over the past 2 years as well as manufacturing laser guided or heat/infra red seeking missiles. What it means is, Turkey does not depend on the most expensive parts of a fighter aircraft (i.e. the arms) on US anymore! Turkish F16s already have advanced home made guided missiles that can knock out your pretty Exocet missiles all all the way from Turkish coast! Turkish air force numbers well over 1000 fighter aircraft around 300 of which are F16s. Many countries such as saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Egypt have been buying F16 fighters and main parts from Turkey for almost a decade now! Below is the link for you - learn Turkish and read!
http://www.sabah.com.tr/Ekonomi/2011/11 ... izin-verdiTurkish/Italian started the joint manufacture of an attack helicopter T29 Atak already started and tested! Moves forward, backwards, upside down, double somersaults, most advanced electronics and weaponry! enjoy the video;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOvfMGWXIQwSomeone probably forgot to tell you that exocets are only "anti-ship" missiles! They need to be fired from Aircraft/helicopter or sea vessels. The problem is, you corvettes have to first sail around the island to the North coast before they can even fire an exocet at a Turkish warship. The chances of that happening are ZERO, since they would be sunk by the air force before they can even make it half-way! Assuming they do make it, there are

28 warships,
16 destroyers and frigates,
16 Corvettes, + 5 Milgem Stealth Corvettes newly manufactured (All Turkish made)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D7ZWqAeHhI20 submarines,
47 attack missile crafts, (Turkish made)
7 patrol boats (Turkish made)
23 mine hunters (Turkish made)
55 amphibious landing crafts
5 logistic transport ships (Turkish made)
120 patrol boats
40+ helicopters being carried by some of these ships.
How many exocets did you say you have?
6 Type 214 submarines (hydrogen cell and electric powered) are currently being built in Turkey with 80% of the structure and electronics manufactured locally.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMMh6GSRmdII will not bother with all the Turkish manufactured armoured vehicles, mortars, heavy guns and machine guns they have been exporting over the past 20 years! - look for them online and you will learn!
SO WHO IS HIGH ON HASHISH you peasant? Your mind is so fucked up you cannot see the end of your own nose. You and Get Real carry on with your war cries just because your beggar of a government threw some money away, and you will see the rest of Cyprus
become a Turkish estate! Get Real is right, things are a lot different now than what they were in 1974 when Turkey did not even have any proper landing craft or fighter jets.
A final piece of information: Only 6 aircraft were lost (the 2 super sabres were reported twice!) of which 3 were lost (not shot down) for other reasons during action and 3 were actually shot down by anti aircraft fire/missiles. Considering these aircraft had almost no electronic equipment and were old ex-US fighters of basic construction - not too much of a loss for conquering 1/3 of the island! Have you any idea of the Brirtish losses during the tiny Falkland islands war? Not to mention 80,000 Ottoman Turks getting killed capturing the island in 1571. You think Turks are afraid of death? Listen reh palikari! When it comes to fighting a Turk YOU WILL ALWAYS LOSE, more so now then ever. So sit down and shut up
