    re: Typhoon Correct line of thought. Logical to train pilots on cheap T1 especially if we can get twin seats. re: F16V70 We have already paid the initial down payment. No one would pay that unless there is a signed contract. It is up to the US to go back on their words. From our point of view...

    That price is probably an educated guess by the writer of the article. But as you rightfully stated it must be for the planes only. Meteor missiles are around 2 million dollars each. These jets carry at least 4 of them. With spares you are looking at a cost of 700+ million Euros only for the...

    https://www.savunmasanayist.com/eurofighter-typhoon-teklifi-ankaraya-ulasti/ The offer from the UK for the supply of 40 Typhoon jets for TurAF has been received by Ankara. Estimated to be at least 5 billion Euros, the offer details are not yet known. But the planes are to be the latest T4...

    Bro, to have VLS means, new, different and much more expensive subs. Current MILDEN design doesn’t have VLS either. So it is more feasible to use capsules. Besides, if we are ever to see the infamous “Gezgin” cruise missiles being launched from Reis and MILDEN subs, then we have to use longer...

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    IDAS is a fibre optic guided missile. Therefore it has limited range of 40 km. It is only good against helicopters, close by surface platforms and nearby land targets. It is a 0.65 Mach subsonic solid fuelled missile derived from IRIS-T. Beauty of the submarine version is that they can be...

    If noticed, the capsule has a form of thrust as it leaves the submarine. As per previously mentioned, this is probably because the capsule is supposed to travel some distance -around 1000m- then surface and atmaca will fire the booster engine. This will hide the exact position of the sub. This...

    Israel apartheid consequences for the colonial state and geopolitics

    I would love to be surprised. But there is also the reality. Irrespective of how much republican constituents hate the Jews, elected presidents and their colleagues in position of power have debts to pay back to the Jewish lobbies and/or have strong signs that their strings are pulled by them...

    Since Trump’s decision to stop intelligence sharing with Ukraine all Ukranian f16 jets have lost their radar jamming capabilities. Apparently, the Russian radars have been rotating their frequencies continuously to overcome f16’s jamming capabilities. US had been sending continuous updates to...

    TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

    Neither Ukraine nor Russia will trust any other country. Turkey is the only country that has good relations with both at such a high level. But, unless a very solid truce and peace is in place, to be part of any peace mission in Ukraine is a non starter. At the same time if we have the power...

    TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

    Yes and no! We should carry a policy of duality. Just like we have been doing with Russia and Ukraine. Stay independent. But at the same time give them limited hope that we are supportive of their cause. Use them without committing too deeply to rock the boat, as in Ukraine situation. Ukraine...

    Israel apartheid consequences for the colonial state and geopolitics

    When there are nearly 7-8 million Jews in the US and are actively supporting Israel via their control over US politics, US media and US economy, there is no chance of any US administration to give them the cold shoulder and still stay in power. Israel means US. US administrations rather lose...

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    According to the Canadian sites it is only possible to disable the sensor suites and some avionics, turning a marvel of a plane to a pumpkin of a plane. But even that can be open to arguments. Canadians have on order 88 of these planes. So rightfully they are questioning the logic of buying them...
