Western hawks hyperbolize Turkey's new ballistic missile push

Turkey's revelation of its first intercontinental ballistic missile, Yıldırımhan, in May has stirred significant reactions from Western observers, who have exaggerated the potential threat it poses. This development is surprising because Turkey had previously concentrated on short- and medium-range missiles. While some in Turkey view this as a significant achievement for the nation's defense capabilities, Western hawks have amplified the implications, potentially overlooking the strategic context. This situation underscores the complexities of international military advancements and the varying perspectives on defense priorities.
