Turkey's been repeatedly destabilized through out course of the 2010s and into the pandemic. Now that phase is largely over. Greece and Greek Cyprus can buy all the weapons they want, lobby for all the embargoes they want, and accrue all the debt they want. Turkey continues to develop its own weapons across all fields, which it has full export rights to.
Greece is already heavily dependent on Azerbaijani gas lately while Greek Cyprus' long-standing alliance with Russia is now in the shitter. Greeks can talk about Turkey being weak or isolated, when in actuality it's militarily stronger now and has more partnerships and influence across Africa, Asia and Latin America than ever before in its modern history.
The Iron Dome is an overrated piece of tech only good for shooting down bottle rockets and even then it has a 20% failure rate. That's why Israel sold it to Greek Cyprus because they know it won't even be close to being used for several years, perhaps decades. Tell them to sell it to Ukraine or Saudi Arabia and see how it performs there against more sophisticated drones and missiles.
Russia isn't buying Iranian "rockets" as in what ragtag Palestinians militants use which are tiny. Russia bought large kamikaze drones, and reportedly ballistic missiles which they haven't even started using yet. Neither of which have been used against Israel.
Ahaha, nope. Iron Dome has shit range and ceiling, and isn't all that agile in flight. It's hyper-specilaised towards shooting down low-end ballistic missiles and rockets as cheaply as possible, and just in no way designed to take on opposittion with more than that.
Bringing down an airplane isn't hard. Even rebels in Donbas did it.

Ukraine's defense and geostrategic ties with Turkey are extremely extensive. Georgia and several Balkan states have bought Turkish weapons and vehicles for a long time.

Yeah I'm sure the west is going to totally destabilize a NATO member and one weapons sale proves it
>one weapons sale proves it
Look at where it is located. Ukraine and Syria have been destroyed by war. They are next.
I think getting cozy with Israel is the best move they can make.

Its just a software upgrade away from shooting down airplanes.
Right now the track record is just bottle rockets.
I'll buy the hype when the Iron Dome actually does something impressive.
They have been shooting down Iranian rockets for a while now. You know.. the stuff Russia is buying.

Yeah the Israeli police should just shoot at the rockets.

They are going to need shitloads of AA though. Turkey has lots of rockets.
Turkey doesn't even need rockets. There are USVs that can swim and just fire at the Iron Dome or S-300s or whatever trash Cyprus is using.
The roach lord and his cronies are destabilizing Turkey just fine by themselves. Do they need help?
The more the merrier, I guess.

Cyprus doesn't have a tactical depth of more than 40 kilometers. Any stationary shit they get will be eaten by heavy mortars and artillery
