    They should seriously close BMC and give its assets to FNSS or Otokar

    Yes, I'm almost certain our agreement with russia has terms that prevent us from getting rid of s400, some other kind of leverage. I mean it was bought to protect president from turkish F16's in another coup attemp anyways, but they aren't being used so whats their purpose now?

    I've heard 10 engines. So that's only good for 4 operational planes and one set of spares if we remove and reuse engine from p0 etc. No engines until caatsa is gone and s400 is gone, which likely isn't happening because Russia doesn't allow us to get rid of it

    It's pointless to follow defense news when there is nothing left, no constitution or laws. We surrendered secularism, now we are surrendering entire democracy. Whose army will it be from now on

    Canards have multiple benefits. One of its simple benefits is contributing to lift, because in classic tail stabilizer configuration, the stabilizers push down alongisde center of gravity to counteract center of lift that is behind the center of gravity. In delta canard, canards and wings push...

    Well 32 VLS + 2-3 ciws should be enough for self protection. TF2000 needs that many VLS because that is its main armament. MUGEM's main armament is jet drones. You won't launch gezgin from it unlike destroyers. And it will likely stay farther away from threats.

    Mugem is not a priority but there is no reason to cancel it either. With çafrad, vls and KE / ANKA 3 it's a different capability. Do not think of it as equal of US /UK / FR / China carriers, it's its own thing

    I'm sure part of decision they realized KE can't take off from Anadolu so they want a ship that can field it. It will be a Kızılelma carrier first and foremost

    We don't have that kind of money. We can do a limited drone carrier and have minor benefits for a smaller sum. Even 20 kaan on a ship is 2 billion $ by itself (not to mention the cost of navalizing kaan for only 20 of them probably on ship at best) The cost of a carrier and the fleet to protect...

    The impression I get from everyone I listened to is, MKE is like a monopoly on certain munitions and caused us many issues in wars with shortages and quality. Gürcan Okumuş was fed up with SSB and MKE and after being forced to quit SAGE hedecided they will do serial production properly in ASSAN...

    Afaik F35 80 mil figure is not adjusted to inflation so misleading. But also still comes eith 35000$ + per hour to fly. That's 7 mil for 200 hours per year or 70 mil for 10 years.

    Capable? Yes. Affordable? Unlikely. Algeria is buying su35 and su57. Egypt and uae are politically not positioned properly still. Nigeria does not have such infrastructureand budget. Ukraine and kazakhstan are not very likely either.
