NATO Military Committee Chairman Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone said on Wednesday that Türkiye will play a crucial role in the peace process between Russia and Ukraine, highlighting the country’s importance to the alliance.
“Türkiye is doing a lot for the alliance. It is the second largest army in NATO,” Dragone said at a news briefing after the 18th Conference of the Chiefs of Staff of the Balkan Countries in Istanbul. He praised Türkiye’s combat readiness and efficiency, calling it “a strong pillar, a strong reliable ally.”
Dragone emphasized Türkiye’s significant contributions to NATO missions, especially in conflict zones, and pointed out that Türkiye will take command of the Kosovo Force (KFOR) starting in October. “This shows how much the alliance relies on Türkiye,” he added.
He described NATO’s current posture as “stronger than ever,” with two main threats: Russia and terrorist groups. Dragone said NATO is updating its defense strategy based on lessons learned from the Ukraine conflict to stay prepared for evolving threats.
Türkiye leads in unmanned aerial vehicles
Dragone also highlighted Türkiye’s early recognition of the importance of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and their impact in saving lives across air, sea, and land operations. “Yours are on top. Yours are also combat-proven, which is meaningful,” he said.
He noted the strategic significance of UAV use at sea and praised the role of unmanned underwater vehicles in cost-effective patrol and deterrence missions.
Regarding the defense industry, Dragone urged companies to focus beyond profits and become an integral part of the defense system, meeting NATO’s operational needs efficiently.
