    TR Why Turkey's election is being closely followed in Africa

    Even if the trade volume is "0" (ZERO in text), Pakistan and Bangladesh (formerly part of Pakistan) are Turkey's strategic partners. The reason has nothing to do with commerce at all. In the Turkish War of Independence, Indian Muslims, who were Indian citizens at that time, supported Mustafa...

    No. RTE is irrelevant for TR-PK relations.

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    I agree with you. A navalized joint fuselage and interchangeable wings were sufficient. They should never have included the B model in the F-35 development program. A separate development program for a modern interpretation of the Harrier would be much cheaper to implement if the VTOL aircraft...

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    The B model was VTOL (or STOVL) right, thanks for that kind correction. Model B behaves like fixed-wing aircraft only when flying straight. And partly it does. F-35B can never be as robust as the A model. The story is different in landing and take-offs.

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    Because VTOL airplanes are not actually airplanes. They should be counted in the helicopter class, in aspect kinematically. It was like adding a helicopter to an aircraft development project. Costs skyrocketed. In my opinion, they shouldn't even have included the "C" model. What they had to do...

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    I think adding the "B" model was the "kiss of death" for the F-35 program. I can see the only solution: Upgrade with added swarm drone management capability and manage spare parts and maintenance properly. BTW, I would immediately cancel the "B" model. After this stage, the only issue that...

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    Turkey's swell. ;) All this drama will not be necessary when the TEI TF-10000 turbofan engine and Murad AESA radar enter the inventory in high numbers. We first modify Hürjet with those devices. Next, we add the KE and Anka III drones. Hürjet manages them. And so we can build a relatively cheap...

    TR Economy & Updates

    IMO, If we can't find an energy source large enough to close the current account deficit, we are in big trouble economically. Because tourism revenues, especially this summer, will remain very low due to a combination of many factors. The main reasons are as follows: The economic destruction of...

    TR Attack & Utility Helicopter Programs

    On contrary, this is absolutely necessary. Okay, what is really needed for Pakistan is a professional army focused solely on military service and cleared of corrupt elements. However, this army will also need smart&high firepower. Pakistan must be politically stable or she will be a problem for...

    Pakistan Imran Khan Arrested.

    Imran Khan has been released. This is a positive development. I am pleased. I think China and some other states intervened. There is a thread on the defense.pk forum. "Muslim Pakistan or Islamist Pakistan?" saying. They finally realized that the two are not the same thing! The vast majority of...

    That facility will 65 nm (or 60 whatever). Not 22 nm.

    TR Sensors and Detector Programs

    Because we do not have a factory to produce with 22 nm and we do not have enough trained personnel.

    Pakistan Imran Khan Arrested.

    +1 Absolutly agree with you. As such, Pakistan is a source of great trouble for both its friends and enemies. For example, India will have to prepare for the worst, as it is unpredictable what Pakistan will do in this situation, and this is extremely costly. Pakistan in this state is also a...

    Pakistan Imran Khan Arrested.

    It is comedy that the Pakistani corrupt establishment, which is full of corruption with all its members, arrested Imran Khan on charges of corruption. The tragic thing is that there are deaths and injuries in protests. But the most terrifying thing for me is that the country where all this is...

    We have a more important problem than CATS Plus. When are these notorius AESA radar tests going to end? They don't need to share the test images, let them share the news "Domestic AESA radar entered the inventory in Akıncı", that is more than enough.

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    I would have ordered for example 400 ejection seats wholesale from the UK first. If there is a problem or if I have such a doubt, then I would invest in the domestic ejection seat. If that's the case, I have nothing against him.

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    I hope they don't put a new name. Our naming will be similar to brand names, I think that's obvious. Such as Anka 1-2-3, Hürkuş 1-2-3, Gökbey 1-2-3, Atak 1-2-3 etc. If this logic is correct, the name of the 10 Ton class utility helicopter should be "Gökbey-2".
