You are ranting. Nobody is denying that countries are spying on each other, including Turkey. Nobody is expecting a random Turk or a customer is going to protect our systems. You secure your critical infrastructure by having total control over it. In this case, only allow certified software...

Why do you think a customer would be allowed add thier own software in the sat? It is the same with phone and internet network. Just because you can send an sms does not mean you have access to their computers

It really depends on your definition of global. Turkey intends to limit the coverage to our latitude. Those high up towards the polar region will not be covered.

Starlink already have about 5000 sats in LEO with a planned 50000 more on the way. Make no mistake, Starlink is the backbone to control 6th generation airforces in almost realtime. Furthermore, it is in practice a multistatic global AESA radar to detect fifth generation aircrafts (since the...

First, VAT is payed by the costumer, second, VAT is not payed for exported products (EU is a single market), third, VAT is deductible (if you buy something with VAT, then you reduce your own VAT so you can have zero VAT). Forth, certain products are excempt from VAT. VAT is NOT a tax on your...

W Who have told you that? It is straight wrong information.

Do you really want to know why it is tax-free sale? Companies pay tax on profit, not on sales for most products. Especially on exported products. Now, do Otokar deal with business activities to reduce their tax? Yes, like every other company in the world.

The glas is not the problem as it is teansparent to radio waves. The problem is what's behind the glas, which is the cockpit. The cockpit bieng made out of flat surfaces in straight angles will act like a retro-reflect in essence. All aircrafts have this problem. What is normally done is to...

They will be equipped with NSM and other foreign systems.

It is called Kessler effect. If it happens in low earth orbit for Starlinkn then it will clear out after few dacades. I rather have that than potential nukes or destroying a country like USA did to several countries in recent time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome

A kill switch does not mean the drone malfunction and drop from the sky. It could transmit its coordinate to friendly forces which takes them out with larger drones. This will now advertise that you also need the big drone for AA, not just TB2.

That good start but not enough since that is just a piece of paper. Armenians really need to change their hate filled culture, unfortunately that is not happening. The first step would be to stop their hostile international rethorics and open up their economy to both Az and Tr.

Thanks, that was a really good article.

There is no if they will decline. The demographic situation in all of Europe ensures that there will be a decline. Nothing can save EU when Germany goes into the demographic decline. Last time PIIGS got in problem, they were saved by Germans. Who is going to save PIIGS when Germans goes into a...

Nd when we shot down, they will lose a pilot. Btw, AESA is a few days of work to produce a new one. Losing a drone is not the end of the world.
