#Spain 🇪🇸 choosing the HÜRJET from #Türkiye 🇹🇷 isn’t about replacing trainers – it’s about who Europe trusts to build its future air power. In my latest piece, I unpack why this matters: 🔸️Europe talks “strategic autonomy”… but looks outside the EU when it counts 🔸️ Türkiye is no longer just a partner – it’s becoming a serious aerospace player 🔸️ This isn’t a jet purchase, it’s a full training & industrial ecosystem 🔸️ Delays and gaps in Europe’s defence industry are shaping real decisions And so... Is this smart cooperation or proof Europe still can’t deliver on its own ambitions? Let me know what you think about 😉 #HÜRJET
Defence24com@Defence24eng

Spain has signed an agreement with Türkiye to incorporate the HÜRJET combat trainer aircraft into the training system of the Spanish Air and Space Force, which should be interpreted not only as a procurement decision but also as part of a broader strategy to modernise training capabilities and deepen industrial and defence cooperation between an EU Member State and Türkiye. @natalia_potera defence24.com/industry/turki…

🇫🇷 🇹🇷 🇪🇺 Europe’s defence map is changing. @BaykarTech and @SAFRAN signing a drone-optronics deal is more than just business. Some people ask why Ankara decided on such a move. The answer may be simple: pragmatism and a signal to rivals. France was long seen as one of the strongest backers of Greece 🇬🇷 & Cyprus 🇨🇾 against Türkiye in the Eastern Mediterranean. Yet now even Paris appears ready for strategic cooperation with Ankara. Türkiye’s defence industry has reached a point where even political rivals can no longer ignore it.

🇫🇷🇬🇷🇹🇷 NEW: EUROPE DRONE DEFENSE SHIFT SHOCKS ATHENS Turkish drone giant Baykar and French defense firm Safran have signed a cooperation agreement in optronics, which could allow Turkish made drones to be equipped with advanced French optical systems for the European market. The move has triggered political and strategic debate in Athens, especially as Greece’s planned procurement of surveillance drones linked to Safran faces reported delays and technical concerns, while France has already moved away from the Patroller program. The development underscores shifting alliances and rising competition in Europe’s fast evolving drone and defense technology sector.

The #Eurovision final has begun. Due to Israel’s 🇮🇱 participation, Spain 🇪🇸 #boycotted the performance and the broadcast. At 9:00PM, instead of airing the live show, the Spanish public broadcaster displayed the following message:

Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan’dan gençlere: • Varsın birileri size sürekli karamsarlık aşılasın, varsın birileri umutlarınızı çalmaya çalışsın. Biz size güveniyoruz. • Biz size sonuna kadar güveniyoruz; geleceğin mimarları, bürokratları, siyasileri, bakanları ve cumhurbaşkanları sizin içinizden çıkacak. • Hangi görüşten, hayat tarzından, inançtan, bölgeden, kökenden olursa olsun Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin her bir genci bizim için aynı değerdedir, aynı önemdedir.

Türkiye's 🇹🇷 reported move to codify the “Blue Homeland” #MaviVatan doctrine is a major geopolitical development (and IMO social media is oversimplifying it). A few facts: 🔹️A 200-nautical-mile EEZ is standard under international law. 🔹️The real dispute is overlapping claims in the Aegean & Eastern Mediterranean. 🔹️Greece 🇬🇷 says its islands generate full EEZ rights under UNCLOS. 🔹️Türkiye 🇹🇷 rejects that interpretation — and hasn’t signed UNCLOS. 🔹️Cyprus' 🇨🇾 offshore gas exploration is another major flashpoint. Important 👇 This doesn’t mean Türkiye can suddenly “claim the whole sea.” 🌊 Any unilateral declaration would still be heavily disputed internationally. What would most likely happen? 👇 🔸️The EU 🇪🇺 will object diplomatically. 🔸️#NATO will try to avoid taking sides.
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal

🇹🇷🇬🇷🇨🇾 Erdoğan is seeking to formally codify the “Blue Homeland” doctrine, and Greece and Cyprus are not happy. The law would allow him to declare a 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone across the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean. Granting Turkey a formal legal claim over fishing, drilling, mining, and marine development in waters that Greece and Cyprus already consider their own. Turkey and Greece have clashed over overlapping maritime claims for decades. Cyprus has active hydrocarbon exploration blocks that Ankara refuses to recognize. The EU will protest. And NATO will be uncomfortable. But neither is likely to stop it. Source: Bloomberg

Türkiye has reportedly proposed a $1.2 billion military fuel #pipeline connecting Türkiye 🇹🇷 → Bulgaria 🇧🇬 → Romania 🇷🇴. The project is intended to support NATO fuel logistics on the alliance’s #EasternFlank. The proposal is expected to be discussed ahead of the NATO summit Türkiye plans to host in July. The pipeline would reportedly be for military use 🪖 only, not civilian energy transport. *This is currently a proposal/pitch, not an approved #NATO project.

TÜRKİYE'DEN NATO'YA BOMBA TEKLİF! Türkiye, NATO’nun Avrupa’nın doğu kanadındaki müttefiklerine yakıt sağlamak amacıyla kullanılacak 1,2 milyar dolarlık askeri amaçlı bir yakıt boru hattı inşasını teklif etti. Bloomberg’in Cuma günü yayımladığı habere göre, önerilen boru hattı Türkiye’yi Bulgaristan üzerinden Romanya’ya bağlayacak. Ankara’nın bu teklifi, Temmuz ayında ev sahipliği yapacağı NATO zirvesi öncesinde sunmayı planladığı belirtiliyor. Habere göre Türkiye’nin önerdiği güzergâh, Yunanistan üzerinden ya da Romanya’nın batı komşuları üzerinden geçen alternatif projelerin yaklaşık beşte biri maliyetle hayata geçirilebilir. Bu alternatifler deniz taşımacılığına dayandığı için kesintilere karşı daha kırılgan görülüyor. Rusya’nın Ukrayna’yı işgali ve Orta Doğu’daki çatışmalar — özellikle Hürmüz Boğazı’nın kapanmasına bağlı olarak yaşanan son enerji tedarik sorunları — NATO’nun yakıt tedarik altyapısını yeniden değerlendirmesine yol açtı. İttifak üyeleri, doğu kanadındaki ülkeler için güvenilir ve düşük maliyetli bir tedarik zinciri kurmaya çalışıyor. Habere göre Türkiye, Ankara’daki zirve öncesinde veya zirve sırasında karara bağlanabilecek bu proje için müttefiklerinin desteğini almaya çalışıyor. Planlanan boru hattının yalnızca askeri kullanım için ayrılacağı, sivil amaçlarla kullanılmayacağı ifade edildi.

🇹🇷 (EN/FR) Five days in Turkey (Istanbul and Ankara) for the first Belgian trade mission led by Her Majesty Queen Mathilde @MonarchieBe, the largest (428 participants) ever organised in that country. Turkey is our fifth-largest trading partner and we are the eighth-largest investor there. Turkey is undoubtedly a member of the European family. It is a strategic hub for energy matters, an ally within NATO (with the second-largest army after the US) and a key player in the security of Europe’s south-eastern flank. Beyond strengthening our economic cooperation, this mission has helped to bring our political relations closer together. It provided an opportunity for meetings at the highest level: President Erdoğan, Vice-President Yilmaz and numerous ministers, including my counterpart in Foreign Affairs, @HakanFidan, to discuss major international issues (the Middle East, the Strait of Hormuz, Ukraine…) as well as our bilateral relations and those with the EU. It was also an opportunity to reiterate that we must diversify our partners and bring the Turkish and European economies closer together, given the immense commercial potential this offers. To this end, the Customs Union deserves to be modernised: we cannot do business in 2026 under a framework signed thirty years ago... it would be paradoxical not to step up our cooperation with our immediate neighbours, at the risk of maintaining a relationship of dependence on geopolitical powers located much further away. We highlighted the strengths of our companies in the port and logistics, biopharmaceuticals and healthcare, energy transition, digitalisation, Industry 5.0, defence and aerospace sectors. This mission also provided an opportunity to discover Turkey’s impressive industrial base, particularly in the defence industry. Around forty new commercial agreements and partnerships were signed, bringing this highly strategic mission to a successful close, during which no issue was left unaddressed. —— Cinq jours en Turquie (Istanbul et Ankara) pour la première mission économique belge sous la conduite de Sa Majesté la Reine Mathilde, la plus grande (428 participants) jamais organisée dans ce pays. La Turquie est notre 5e partenaire commercial et nous y sommes le 8e investisseur. La Turquie, c'est incontestablement un membre de la famille européenne. Hub stratégique pour les questions énergétiques, allié au sein de l’Otan (2e plus grande armée après USA) et pour la sécurité du flanc sud-est européen. Au delà du renforcement de notre coopération économique, cette mission a permis de rapprocher nos relations politiques. Ce fut l’occasion de rencontres au plus haut niveau : le Président Erdoğan, le Vice-Président Yilmaz ainsi que de très nombreux ministres dont mon homologue aux Affaires étrangères Fidan pour un échange sur les grands enjeux internationaux (Moyen-Orient, détroit d'Ormuz, Ukraine…) ainsi que sur nos relations bilatérales et avec l’UE. L’occasion aussi de rappeler que nous devons diversifier nos partenaires et rapprocher les économies turque et européenne au vu de l’immense potentiel commercial que cela offre. À cet effet, l’Union douanière mérite d’être modernisée: on ne fait pas du business en 2026 avec un cadre signé trente ans auparavant... ce serait paradoxal de ne pas intensifier notre coopération avec nos voisins directs, au risque de maintenir des relations de dépendance vis-à-vis de puissances géopolitiques situées bien plus loin. Nous avons mis en avant les atouts de nos entreprises dans les secteurs portuaire et logistique, biopharma et santé, transition énergétique, digitalisation, industrialisation 5.0, défense et aérospatial. Cette mission a également permis de découvrir l’impressionnant tissu industriel turc, notamment dans l’industrie de défense. Environ 40 nouveaux accords commerciaux et partenariats ont été signés, clôturant en beauté cette mission très stratégique, durant laquelle aucune question n’a été éludée. @BelgiumMFA

The Pentagon has reportedly canceled plans to deploy 4,000 U.S. troops to 🇵🇱 Poland, with Congress not yet formally notified. The move raises fresh questions about 🇺🇸 U.S. force posture in Europe amid growing transatlantic tensions over Iran policy and NATO commitments.
