I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea. Anka 3 due to its tailless design will be the stealthiest of our 3 current stealth platforms.
For BVR engagements neither maneuverability nor speed are necessarily important.
I'm pretty sure AESA radars can be adapted into different shapes. So the T/R modules can be spread in a flatter shape across the nose instead of the traditional circular or square designs.
We should use the current US-EU situation to draw in EU customers. Of course, there will need to be a delicate balance not to piss off the US too much when we still rely on them for engines.
With Trump launching the recent attack on Venezuela, all eyes are on what he will do next. He's recently reiterated his threat to invade Greenland. This puts NATO into a bit of a conundrum.
Obviously this is a wild scenario, but the EU is rather toothless and the world is looking like one big...
What you must understand is that there is a difference between Turkish nationalists who are Muslim and foreign-backed Islamists. They (foreign-backed Islamists) all hate nationalism and use religion to undermine the Turkish state. Perhaps the easiest way to distinguish the two is identifying if...

"The Turkish opposition will not let voters forget it. Neither should anyone else who watches a proud nation’s foreign policy held hostage to one man’s ego."
He really does have a special ability to get us into unnecessary...
Israel needs to realize that if it continues to antagonize Türkiye it'll ultimately face a hostile secular nationalist Türkiye.
There's no way it will survive that. The Israeli strategy has always been centered around supporting self destructive Islamist factions which are both harmful to...
Our government has done absolutely jack shit to counteract any of this. First PKK releases ISIS prisoners, then they blame us for it.
Absolutely brain dead, whole Syria and PKK strategy has been ridiculous for several years.
Although we're seeing some movements I really don't think anything will happen. PKK will offer a statement, they'll reshuffle, AKP will sell it off as a victory and that'll be the end of it.
There's no juice left in the tank, we've seen the same sh*t for 5 years.
If anything, these movements...
