Experts Analyze Russia's Message to Turkey through Motor Sich Bombing
Experts suggest that Russia's recent bombing of Ukrainian business Motor Sich, which produces engines for Turkish aircraft, was a clear message to Turkey. The attack targeted facilities associated with Baykar, a Turkish company that builds drones using engines provided by Motor Sich. Analysts believe that the bombing was meant to convey Russia's discontent with Turkish initiatives, including Turkey's support for Ukraine's NATO aspirations and its procurement of the Russian-made S-400 air defense system. While Turkey claims to have enough Ukrainian-made engines to sustain its drone programs, experts argue that the attack may have long-term implications for Turkish-Russian relations and cooperation in defense industries.
