Not only that, Turkey has created a military-industrial complex that is now largely self-sustaining. With the new defence and security complex in Ankara – "the Turkish Pentagon" – an institutional and industrial interdependence has emerged that functions independently of short-term political...

A temporary deployment of 8–10 TB2s for around two weeks in the Black Sea would enable high coverage density in order to analyse patterns, response times and deployment profiles. Should the situation stabilise, the deployment can then be reduced in a controlled manner to 4–6 platforms without...

Some of the news is inconsistent; to my knowledge, there is no official CFT for the Eurofighter.

When viewed in this light, it even has a tangible advantage: the platform can participate in NATO operations without any major concerns and land in friendly NATO countries without having to constantly worry about industrial espionage. For the Turkish armed forces, 30–40 aircraft should be...

Turkey needs the F-35 fighter jets, for better or worse. It is also about being able to carry US nuclear weapons in a conflict with Russia/China, however unlikely that may be. The F-16 will reach EoL by 2035+ at the latest; the aircraft is technologically obsolete, and there is no longer any...

The assessments here must be viewed in a differentiated manner. The analysts' reluctance stems primarily from the fact that they lack clear technical verification as to whether the missile was actually guided exclusively by the drone's on-board radar or whether a handover may have taken place...

Please, I want a dual engine version with 2x AI 322F or 2x TF 10000. It must be able to keep up with TAI KAAN and Eurofighter/F-16 Özgür II in a joint battle against the enemy.

The knocking is already starting, but people don't say it out loud because they're ashamed... and a bit annoyed that they have to knock because they have to swallow their pride. Mostly Germany has a very big inhibition to take this step. https://ibb.co/pjgTd2Dq Turkey <-> UK...

Sry i mean TF 2000, and Milgem G is Istanbul/Istif Class Ships Fregatte. https://devrimyaylali.com/istif-class-g-milgem/

When considering the strategic orientation of the Turkish Navy for the next 15–20 years, it becomes clear why larger combat ships are absolutely essential. The areas of operation will no longer be limited to the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea, but will increasingly include the Indian Ocean and, in...

I think it is entirely possible that US Western weapon systems have technical barriers that prevent pilots from attacking certain targets – such as American or possibly Israeli ones – or that their effective deployment is deliberately prevented. However, I think it would be extremely difficult...

I say this cautiously and with reservation. TRMotor – What it really is and why it is crucial for TF-35000 Many still believe that TRMotor is a "second TEI" but without much experience or a classic engine manufacturer that is new. That is not true. TRMotor's role is completely different – and...

I would like to receive some information about the TEI TF-35000 if possible. So far, we have only seen a few PR clips and short test runs of the TF-6000, which seemed more like PR demonstrations than full-fledged test campaigns. I know TEI told us they already finshed more than 1XX Tests with...

You need all the resources at your disposal to combat potential competitors/rivals (Greece, Israel, Iran & Russia) in your environment. It makes sense to promote innovation, competition and fail-safe measures; if the others fail, you have a third option. If necessary, companies can exploit...
