I know TF10000 is going to be expensive but new engine development is more expensive. We should focus on the engine we have at hand and build more stuff on top of it instead.
Does it matter? A professor with phd from sorbonne was retired due to this. Recognizing and dignifying this case would give the legal process semblance of legitimacy
That's weird, why now? They don't really need the planes if jf17s are arriving and what do they need to appease russia for currently? That many planes would make Azerbaijan disproportionately powerful for such a small population and economy, it would be costly to maintain with a gdp of 75 billion
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...
