So Haberturk article from 11.12.2023 about KAAN possibly being delayed until MARCH was accurate. Mayoral elections are in March 31 2024. December flight would have been forgotten in a week at most. Didn't make much sense anyway but still a source of great annoyance for me...

I thought I already wrote this clearly and with proof. WHITE PHOSPHORUS IS NOT A CHEMICAL WEAPON. We can and SHOULD use it freely in forests, mountains, caves anywhere CIVILIANS do not exist. Legality: "The use of incendiary and other flame weapons against matériel, including enemy military...

If villages could be temporarily relocated fully by the Kurdish administration it would be possible to drop or bring a huge bomb to eviscerate everything despite pressure rooms and size. Shockwaves will reach deep inside if bomb head is thick pointy metal which buries itself deep in the ground...

Size of tunnel will make all the difference in just finding them let alone defeating a large group. Fiber cable or AI quadcopterS with explosives and algorithms to map out and scout different directions could be useful or not depending on the details. Drones, dogs, soldiers all will be easy...

If we have problems with Americans about engines of Hürjet and can't get replacements from any other place for some silly reason, we will still have Akinci with commercial, easily available heavy duty engines, unlimited BVR missiles, cruise missiles and AESA. So no worries our future is looking...

Resisting new technology is the bane of Turkish mind since Ottoman era. A knee jerk reaction, quick dismissal of anything new and useful is now in our genes apparently. Someone will say "Gavur icadı bu" / "this thing is made by unbelievers" and that will be the end of that new technology like...

UGV is not supposed to defeat PKK. It is supposed to draw fire and give the main base early warning. You know instead of sending soldiers to mountain tops at -50 degrees to draw fire like our oh so smart officers are doing for decades.

Unmanned helicopters that can carry 500kg ()Titra Alpin v2?) should drop and retrieve unmanned ground vehicles like havelsan Barkan. Instead of vulnerable APCs, helicopters sending someone's baby to be targets on a mountain to freakin terrorists while also becoming metal coffins themselves on...

Guys do not compare costs of mr. "I must display my might all over the world" America with us. They are flying F-22s even over the Syria for f. sake. You won't burn jet fuel or need engine other repairs if you keep them in the secure hangars for a "rainy day" while Akinci, Kizilelma, Anka 3 etc...

Total ownership might be 1.5 times more but lets say fly away price is 100 million for each KAAN like CEO Kotil says. That is half price of course since it is for us. 24 billion USD in 20 years is nothing for a country with 1 trillion dollar GDP. Besides unlike before money is not going away...

Talabani and their bed mates PKK are getting advanced air defenses from Americans. "Against Iran" they lie. While our TSK sleeps as they amass 200.000+ armed American army trained force at our Syrian border alone not to mention tens of thousands of trucks worth weapons and ammunition. Our...

Currently our engineers are doing jobs a high school graduate can do. Roketsan for example how hard it is to build bunch of missiles illiterate Houthis in Yemen are doing the same type of rockets our 2 doctorate degrees engineers are doing by hand in Roketsan, Aselsan videos. Besides there is...

Same slimy crap British did to us by stealing our money by not delivering our warships after getting paid and by confiscating Turkish territory Cyprus. Brazen THEFT by bunch of hyenas. We asked for our money back many many times. Biden said instead of money, let's sell you F-16s. What were we...

Türkiye spent 1.5% GDP on defense last year. One of the lowest in NATO. So money is an issue too not just embargos. If it was me I wouldn't buy anything from west and I would pre pay part of those tens of billions to our own defense companies and force them to hire 10 or even 100 times more...

W Our NATO membership may have started as a means to try to protect us from USSR but now it is hopefully there to protect us from what these pack of western hyenas are doing to almost every other free Muslim country. We rather have our money back we paid long ago for unkept F-35 delivery...

Why F404? A stronger engine gives room to grow for heavier variants. No need to worry if engine could cause problems in a national first jet project since it is a very stable safe engine. F404 is designed for trainer jets according to GE. To minimize compressor stalls and other engine failures...

I couldn't find link to his speech but after first taxi test Kotil said KAAN could have flew (9 months ago) if he knew how far ahead of projections TF-X project was. He could have installed flight computer software etc back in March. So I highly doubt this "journalist" or the site who are not...

He is making his own predictions guys. This geezer Bülent Aydemir is talking about his baseless prediction as if it is reality or as if someone said to him something perhaps because as you know plane paint is stripped to better accommodate tests. I don't know for sure. To me this is being an...

America is consistently pro-Israel for example. No matter what they stick to their wrong policies. Would you say that is wiser than what Erdogan is doing? Making peace with Greeks for example despite their CONSISTENT belligerence when Israel puts herself in a collision course with Turks? I...

I just don't want our people (especially Erdogan & co.) to acquire false bravado and belittle our foes when they did with Tayfun. I am saying it is not only possible but also EASY to stop these for modern systems. Don't assume Greek air defenses (Russian and American made) would have any issues...
