months. Moreover, transportation difficulties would hold up the inva der
as well as hamper operations of the Turkish armed forces. Thus, alth ough
the weakness of the Turkish Air Force would speedily make the entire
country an open target for air attack, indicating that resistance on the
ground might be soon overcome, difficulties of transportation and ter rain
might well prolong resistance (especially in winter conditions) for S ev-
eral months. In any event, it may be taken as certain that the Turks will
resist a major aggression to the bitter end.
The Turkish Government budget is already strained to meet the cost
of maintaining the armed forces at their present strength. To modern ize
these forces and to meet immediate needs for materiel, foreign aid is nec-
essary, since very little of the equipment needed can be manufactured in
Turkey. The Turkish General Staff will continue to be severely handi-
capped in its efforts to improve standards of the armed forces or to
fill deficiencies in materiel without such aid from abroad.
