Well, actually it is within the Turkish mentality limits: Denizi geç, derede boğul 😝 (swim across the ocean to get drown in a creek)

Strong AI, the 6th gen was an eventuality we all hoped for, even prayed for in my case. 👇🏼 Post in thread 'TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet' https://defencehub.live/threads/tf-x-kaan-fighter-jet.18801/post-254009 Good to know they’re moving the right direction, and yet what is the purpose this statement...

To be fair, Kaan will even hardly hit to 5th gen with F110 design parameters (which we all are aware of, btw) and that’s ok as long as it would have served intended interim role as a 4+ gen until TF35000 would have matured. But 6th gen (including motor) is a new ball game. Its only legit asking...

No takers I guess. The engine is a radial engine alright but not the original FW 190 engine, the magnificent BMW 801! No wonder they’re whitewashing the ceiling of world heritage Selimiye Mosque. We suck at restoring stuff 😡

I know for a fact that they call Turks as Tajiks because I used that as a joke when I’m with other Armenians. They all were surprised. But maybe it’s only Turkish Armenians. Perhaps in Armenia they use a different natio’s name to identify Turks in general. I don’t know 🤔

Alright, this is recurring now. This can’t be some mistake 😊 Also, funny you brought this up Iskander, an Armenian friend of mine had told me that Turks were called Tajik in Armenian language and they called themselves Hai! I was shocked 😁

Hürjet started in 2017. Back then it was envisioned as a super trainer for future F35 fleet. It was urgently needed. Hence, as Boredaf pointed out, it was a purebred trainer, even before a ski jump TCG Anadolu requested. MUGEM came only recently, well after the jet Hürjet was completed. Where...
