Belçika Kraliçesi Türkiye’deydi: Belçika ordusu ne planlıyor?

We examined the military strength of the Belgian army, its current inventory, ongoing projects, and the structural problems it faces. The Belgian army (Belgische Defensie, La Défense belge, Belgische Streitkräfte) consists of five branches: land, sea, air, health, and cybersecurity. It abolished compulsory military service in 1992. It will launch a new paid volunteer military service model in September 2026. Until recently, Belgium kept its defense budget below 1% of its gross domestic product, but regional developments and geopolitical pressures have increased this share to 2% or higher by 2025-2026. One of the most striking features of the army is that it does not possess a single main battle tank in its inventory and bases its defense strategy entirely on wheeled armored vehicles and allied integration. Under the command of King Philip and with General Frederik Vansina as Chief of Staff, the Belgian army ranks 61st out of 145 countries according to Global Firepower data. The army possesses armored vehicle families such as the Mowag Piranha, VBMR Griffon, Dingo 2, and Oshkosh CLV Falcon, and is currently transitioning its air force from F-16s to F-35A jets. The Cyber ​​Force, one of the five main forces established with the July 2024 reform, is strengthening its digital infrastructure through a partnership with Proximus NXT and is the only official institution legally authorized to conduct cyberattacks, combating Russian-linked DDoS attacks. Belgium, which suffers from serious operational problems such as language divisions and empty ammunition depots, has recently been engaging in contacts with Turkey in the field of defense industry. In addition to Defense Minister Theo Francken's visit to Baykar, agreements were reached for ASELSAN to modernize the electronic and cybersecurity infrastructure of Belgian military platforms, and Turkish officers will receive training at the Royal Military Academy in Brussels.
