Israel's inclusion on this list is interesting. If it's an official mutual defense alliance then you basically have the building blocks to avoid a lot of extraneous NATO politics by working directly with those countries who have resources and not the LoL poors. Also presents possibilities with regard to Israel if it is a true defensive alliance. Possibilities are intriguing.Interviewed by Habertürk, President Zelensky states that 7 countries are ready to issue security guarantees for Ukraine would there be a peace treaty:

I imagine not every round has a tracer on it but I could be wrong. The rear hull armor is only going to be an inch or two thick at most so HEAT or APFSDS could penetrate and kill the engine or start a fire, disabling the vehicle.

Turkey was the first Muslim country to recognize Israel way back in 1949. They work together on defense projects extensively.
Yeah, but Erdogan has taken Turkey away from the secularism enforced by the Turkish military and has embraced Islam. Lately, Turkey has not been a friend of Israel to the degree they have in the past.GAC06 said:

They used to under Ozal when Turkey was still proud of its secularist heritage. Not so much since the Islamist Erdoan took power.GAC06 said:

Tactically, it's a useful weapon when retreating. Slows down the advance of the Ukrainians. We all know that the Ruskies don't give a **** about collateral damage or lives.PJYoung said:
