    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    My assessment – and I emphasize that this is only a guess – is as follows: Turkey's so-called S-400 problem will probably only be finally resolved when Siper Block III is operational and in series production. The background to this is that Turkey does not yet have a complete defense capability...

    TR Defence Exports & Updates

    You are absolutely right – but Turkey urgently needs access to American/European high-end platforms. The best example of this is the TAI KAAN: without participation in the F-16 and F-35 programs, this project would have been virtually impossible in its current form. This is not about imposing...

    TR Defence Exports & Updates

    As far as I know, Japan is the only country opposed to cooperation in the Tempest program. Great Britain and Italy were very positive about Turkey's interest.

    You should try to appease Japan so that Turkey can gain access to Tempest alongside TAI KAAN.

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    You're misunderstanding my logic. It's about the strategic escalation ladder. The explosive power of a single bomb is secondary. Besides, where is it written that we can't use 4-5 of these bombs at a distance of 400 meters in a bombing zone? -> Explosion overlap! The upward scaling is there...

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    Why??? These weapons represent the highest conventional level. Don't forget that the ammunition can be scaled up. Its effectiveness can be further improved through a better ignition mechanism, warhead design, and chemical mixture, all of which can be optimized. Not to mention the higher weight...

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    Many people do not realize what Erdoğan's government has given Turkey as a Gift. The new GAZAP and NB2 Hayalet weapons are far more than ordinary bombs – they push the boundaries of conventional warfare for Turkey to their absolute limits. These bombs are also scalable in terms of their effect...

    TR Turkish Defense Industry Companies

    So if you exhaust yourself with risky business ventures, that's more like mismanagement. You could have also manufactured industrial parts as an OEM to give yourself a second source of income. To be honest, you could also export cheap security weapons to the Third World for paramilitary forces...

    TR Turkish Defense Industry Companies

    That's normal; it's called market consolidation. Just because you're an arms manufacturer doesn't mean you're bound to be successful. There are approximately 3,000 to 3,500 arms companies in Turkey.

    TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

    Let them... the Greeks deserve nothing else, they have always hidden behind people who thought they could protect them. They will get their comeuppance soon enough. It is important to kick such people out of Turkey and Northern Turkish Cyprus and refuse them entry altogether. If half the world...

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    I would like Tayfun Block 4 with a 2,500 kg thermobaric warhead (Gazap Warhead XL Version) with an explosion radius of 3-5 km. That corresponds to a small tactical nuclear bomb. Ideal for deterring Israel. If you build 200-300 of these warheads as backup, it won't even cost 300-400 million USD...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    That's what I mean, I don't want to attack you or declare your source unprofessional, but you know yourself what fanboy talk is. And let's be honest, no matter what technological leaps we've made in the last 10 years, we have to view many things with skepticism and not take every piece of...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Where from? Is there a reliable source that officially confirms this? I'm not talking about an X (Twitter) account belonging to military expert Person A, B, or C, but official statements from Aselsan/TAI. It would surprise me if they had disclosed almost all of the TAI KAAN's features publicly...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Is this confirmed or just speculation? If KAAN has 360° AESA radar then it would inevitably have to have SU-57 MARS (DARS). We know that it has AESA Radar + DAS, but MARS was more a wish of all of us than the actual reality. To this day there is no official confirmation.
