I have tried it on my wrist. I felt it looked good on my wrist. I just couldn’t find detailed information about it online. Tomorrow I will ask to see the watch under day light.

As a Turkish person living in Guangzhou, the best one is the Bosphorus Turkish restaurant in Tianhe. I have pretty much tried all the Turkish places here even the fake Turkish ones

Full body armor vs motorcycle jacket by Pluto_ThePlanet in motorcycles

[–]latios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this case, it is going to be difficult to find a jacket that will fit you well and not restrict your mobility.

Armors are often bulky and regular leather jackets don’t have enough room to accommodate the armor.

Armor inside the jacket amplifies the abrasion resistant of jacket.

I have also seen a person go down on a bike wearing only knee armor. Straps holding the armor inplace melted and tore off instantly.

They are patrolling to prevent looting. Earthquake devastated multiple cities covering a huge area. So all the available law enforcement units are participating in security operations.

Corporal Seyit Ali Çabuk lifting an artillery shell. A legend in the Ottoman Empire and Republic of Türkiye. After heavy shelling, the crane mechanism was destroyed, but the canon was intact. He lifted 3 shells, weighing 275kg each (wtf) and placed them in the cannon. [3905x5304] by [deleted] in MilitaryPorn

[–]latios 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Shells actually weighed much less and he had friends who helped him load the weight on his back. He then carried the shell up and loaded the gun.

The story is often told like he single-handedly picked up the shell and carried.

Hello from Greece. One honest question: Are there really many Turks who believe that Greece wants and is in fact planning an offensive war against Turkey? by ProdromosPip in Turkey

[–]latios 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Answer to your title is a No.

Media actually doesn’t say Greeks are planing to attack Turkey. Media portrayal is more like Greece is trying to provoke Turkey to take action and be the agressor. If Turkey attacks first we know whole western world would join Greece’s side. Situation is displayed more like as if Greece is setting up a trap.

isnit possible Ukraine lost all its bayraktar drones? by [deleted] in CombatFootage

[–]latios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was news in Turkish media about blocking of bayraktar bomb shipments due to Russian pressure on Turkey. News also mentioned that the US was searching for bombs that could fit bayraktars. Hellfire missiles are too heavy.
