Türkiye’s Wonders: The Nature

 

Located on a unique geographic crossroad, Türkiye enjoys all four seasons. Summers are not too dry unlike its neighbours in the South. Winters are also no colder than its northern neighbors. You may feel an occasional breeze cooling you when the weather is too hot.

You can always take a swim in the turquoise waters of beautiful beaches spread out all around the country’s coastal regions if you still swelter. Türkiye boasts some of the best beaches out of all Mediterranean countries.

 The north of the country harbors the Black Sea and is famous for its humid climate. Rainfalls are so common in these parts that they let the trees flourish.  The green forests meet the clear blues of the sea, creating a view that is so picturesque you will want to visit it again.

The east of the country is mountainous. As the elevation gets steeper, you can witness some eye-candy scenery there. The famous Mount Ararat (Ağrı Dağı) attracts climbers from all around the world.

One of the natural wonders of Türkiye is the Peribacaları, or Fairy Chimneys. Situated right at the middle of the country, these are interestingly-shaped rock formations caused by natural forces eroding the rocks.

And there is İstanbul, a city that serves as a bridge to both European and Asian side of Türkiye. A large canal called Bosphorus divides these two continents while providing a passageway for the ships traveling between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.

Türkiye’s natural wonders are not limited to this essay. One must visit the country to truly dig for the other hidden gems.

Drones Find New Uses

Drones have divulged into more aspects of our modern life as they get technologically more complicated. Their versatile use comes as no surprise as they find new fields of implementation over time. The latest place where drones are starting to excel is the combat arena.

Drones had a limited use in the field of conflicts up until now. They were used as a means of surveillance, monitoring the situation on the battlefield. Equipped with the cutting-edge use of optics, drones surveyed and gathered intelligence about the other party in a conflict.

However, the latest developments around the conflict zones assigned drones new duties with additional capabilities. They now can be controlled by virtual reality goggles from a distance, which is called “First Person View.” This way it is much easier for the drone operator to steer and pinpoint the drones to any location.

Additionally, they have been installed with some explosive ordnance with which they can strike the enemy. A drone can now take out an enemy tank single-handedly.

The use of drones as a weapon brought about important tactical implications that must be taken into account by all sides of any conflict. Because drones are cheap to produce and capable of destroying expensive equipment, they changed the military doctrine forever.

First introduced to fulfill non-combat duties such as aerial photography, drones have come a long way. Their job on combat operations is well-consolidated now and is expected to continue in the future with a greater scope.
