What nonsense, neither China nor Russia could save their friend Maduro in Venezuela. Nor are either of them willing to help Iran or save it in any way. They have no global reach in the form of alliances, and more importantly, they are unwilling and unable to build something like NATO. What...

At least one year, as we are talking about a significant amount of manual work. Therefore, we can only expect the first tests in the middle/end of next year, assuming they decide to start building the prototype in the next two to three months.

The ground tests alone are expected to take at least two or three years. Realistically, the first airworthy prototype is not expected until 2029/30. Extensive validation and testing will then be carried out until around 2032+ and beyond, followed by an additional phase of certification testing...

Stop thinking you're Country is centre of the universe. Your big talk only works because you're hiding behind the military and economic power of stronger EU countries and the US/Israel, and even that's fading day by day. Without this protective shield, you'd be totally insignificant...

A large-scale procurement of more than 60 Eurofighters would be a strategic dead end. The goal must be interoperability and operational sovereignty – not the transition from one dependency to the next. Together with the F-15EX, the Eurofighter is one of the most powerful 4.5+ generation fighter...

I wondered whether a so-called "ring exchange" between Turkey and South Korea would be possible from around 2035 onwards – specifically between the KAI KF-21 Boramae and the TAI KAAN. South Korea is currently pursuing a similar strategy to Turkey by gradually replacing US subsystems in the KF-21...

Today, it hardly makes sense to develop a classic heavy combat helicopter. Turkey primarily needs light and medium combat helicopters that are agile and dynamic, not expensive heavy gunships based on the Apache or Ka-52 models. The war in Ukraine has clearly shown that heavy combat helicopters...

You are right in principle, but the situation is not that simple. Europe is strategically positioned differently from traditional power states. With the loss of direct Russian oil and gas connections, the EU was forced to establish new and, above all, physically stable supply routes. The recent...

How does S1 differ from the other prototypes? S1 = Serial Bock 1?

An estimated 13 to 15 million Kurds live in Turkey, and if 6 million of them vote for the HDP, as you say, that can hardly be all of them. To my knowledge, in 2023, around 4.8 million people nationwide voted for the HDP. Regardless of how one assesses or classifies the HDP politically, whether...

When will they finally present the next prototype? It can't be rocket science. Almost a year has passed now; they need to get a move on. We need 50-60x Ugraded F-16 Özgur II, 24x Eurofighter and 10x TAI KAAN & Kizilelma + Anka 3 Aircraft (Total 30) by 2029/30 to send a signal to the outside...

Because these are minorities... Minorities usually behave this way; this is not a new anomaly in the political history of mankind. The least represented in a country shout the loudest. Furthermore, the Jews (Druze) are not exactly high on the popularity scale when it comes to choosing their...

I am of Turkish-Kurdish origin and am familiar with the nuances. There are three Kurdish branches Kurmanci -> Sunni Kurds, the vast majority of Kurds in the heartland, most of whom are related or related by marriage to Turks (the largest group) in the central south-east of Turkey, some of whom...

This is nothing new. Half of the PKK and YPG are almost all Armenians, and the other half are Druze and misguided ultra-left communist Kurds from Syria, Iraq, Iran and the farthest corners of Turkey. Very few of these ultra-left communists are Sunni Kurds maybe under 3-5%, i mean the Kurmanci...
