Not sure whether this helps. Maybe it will help our F16s to fight it in the air but F35 would have fired its missiles long ago. So we need to shoot that missile somehow to prevent damage to our critical assets. This was my question and somehow remains unanswered. Btw. are missiles easier to...

I am talking about a scenario in which F35 fires its ballistic missile (similar to ER-300 that we have now) or a cruise missile or whatever, say 300km away from Ankara, but we can only detect it (in the worst case) 10km away from our critical asset. This is a realistic scenario.

was already thinking about it. If the enemy missile and the air defence munition/missile has the same speed and after detection it is fired instantly (not a human operator) then they should meet half way, that is at 5km. If the enemy missile is four times faster, then it will be neutralized at a...

I said clearly I am talking about TUSAS (TAI) where Kaan is developed. I am talking about the most critical places. This may sound cruel but hospital is not a "very critical" place. Those people are already not combat capable and why should the enemy waste its efforts to bomb a hospital??

Ok I know. I thought about it again. If short term systems were the solution, then probably they would have worked for Iran as well. I mean here no "rocket" science is needed and their performance is largely similar all over the world. This probably explains why everyone is trying to detect at...

My question is still valid. Let's say we can detect only at 10km. Can our short range systems (or similar ones in the world) shoot the missile from F35? Even if we have 50% success rate, that would mean Israel would need to make many sorties. Also, that would mean instead of 5 Korkut we should...

With our air defence systems we don't need to cover the whole Turkey. Israel or Greece wouldn't risk flying all that distance to attack residential areas. Israel can however try to justify an attack on important military facilities, claiming they pose a potential threat to them. We just need to...

Turkey of course cannot say any word now. Turkey needs to get much stronger both militarily and economically. We will need to close an eye to such tactical gains. We need to integrate more closely with Europe regarding defence cooperation and economically. As Turkey gets stronger its sphere of...

Thanks bro for the detaiiled answer. Have they re-assigned the Kargi project to some other firm? Or why they dont involve Aselsan or Tusas in return for some profit sharing with Vestel? We should try hard to catchup with Israel there.

I assume TF-2000 will be able to fire Gezgin missiles unlike Istif. And have 64 VLS vs 16 for Istif. US and Japan destroyers have 96 VLS. And US has more than 60 destroyers so us having 6 of them should be „allowed“.

I am very much excited and proud about the new developments in IDEF. However, I also want to know where do we stand compared to other countries? Is Tayfun Block 4 better than anything Iran or North Korea in terms of precision? How about France? Regarding ER-300 is it among top five in the world...

That's another view. Should we wipe out YPG now? We should have done it six months ago when Shara forces toppled down Asad. That window of opportunity is gone now. The state is now trying the peace card. I am guessing even Öcalan and YPG realized Israel is just using them and may sell them off...

That is correct. Generations after Boomer won't be providing indefinite support to Israel in the future as was done so far. We just need to put up with Israel for the next 10 years or so. We need to be patient. Even now Trump does not like what Israel is doing but he has to obey as US is...

Indeed, Shara cannot do anything else. He needs time. He will need to continue to appease Israel and probably agree to give up the control of south Syria. But in return for this, Israel will gain a real enemy. That is, Israel's paranoic attitude will lead to the realization of its fear. Shara...

There won't be any operation in Syria. I have been waiting for this operation since years now, remembering fondly the glorious moment when our "Bordo Bereliler" captured the Afrin center and wishing the same for other north Syrian cities. But afterwards each time Erdogan says "we can suddenly...
