    TR Turkish Air Forces|News & Discussion

    This news is most welcome. I prefer EF2000 ten times over F35, not for its capabilities, F35 is more capable; but because of diversification. We cannot %90 or so depend on Americans with F35 for next 50 years again And it is not only for political reasons, which all of us know; but also...

    Live Conflict Israel-Palestine War|Regional Escalations

    It is not about Palestinians, it is about Iran and Israel. Fingerprints of Iran are all over on this picture. They are talking with Israel: "I will built my nukes. If you dare to touch me, you will never live in peace" Let's see how Israel respond to this conversation. Not to the Palestinians...

    President of the El Salvador, Nayip Bukele is one of the most successful leaders of our time, also a smart man. He turned the most dangerous country in the world (yes, more than Syria and Afghanistan in terms of killing rate) into a much safer, actually the safest in Latin America right now...

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

    Selçuk Bayraktar last year said Baykar has enough engines for serial production. Last month, he said KE serial production will begin in 2024, I assume they have enough engines for at least LRP. Without radar even Kaan will be useless but I believe Aselsan will sort it out. BTW, I want F35, F22...

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

    It is called engine my friend, we may not arm hurjet without US approval. Engines are coming for "training purpose aircraft" after all. Also it is not a given that US keep supply F404. If they dont, add 3-4 years to current timeline for twin engine hurjet with tf10k I am not saying KE is our...

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

    I do believe we need F16s, but it is getting more obvious day by day that it will not be approved before 2025 US election. In that case, first arrivals will come 2028-2029 earliest, 40 of them 2035!. Even if we let sweden join Nato, they may very well find another excuse in the future, blue...

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

    Our Military had to use other manned helos in Gabar etc. even for the slightest things, sometimes UH 60s. Actually I am very impressed. Even if 5-6 flight hours with full weight and carrying 200 kgs in a 200 km radius, is no joke. Kudos to our engineers

    UK seems bad at developing drones. It is very surprising for aviation country such as UK According to this article, 8 of 54 Watchkeepers UAVs have been down in recent years. Moreover, they couldnt sustain 6000 flight hours in a year, only 1200 or so. The reason is , if the article is to be...

    China put a mandatory Transfer of Technology to the foreign companies for years, in order to sell your products in such a huge market you gladly do it, with this money you develop new techs anyway.

    That is Gökdoğan and this is the first video of this missile launch if I remember correctly. If they are able to paired with f16 radar somehow, that would be an excellent news.

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

    Like it or not, KE is the only realistic option we have until 2030s. It can not take down F35 or Rafale on its own, but the concept is KE will be cheap and produced in numbers: 5 KE against 1 F35, in terms of cost, production and in the field. It is not impossible BUT, we have to come out with...

    Thank you for you lesson, I didnt know money come to Greece from EU until you say so, much appreciated! It was just an example. Let me give you our example. About 40 years ago, we borrowed just 2 million (2.000.000) USD from Luxemburg, like a company not a country. Our people had to brought...

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    There are a lot of overreactions I see. None of us know the terms of agreement and obviously PAF will not get F110 Kaan either. Is anyone thinking we will give them the source codes of Kaan to anybody? Moreover, Pakistan is a huge country with a nuclear weapons, yes they are failed today but...

    Mr. Sanchez, I know you are a great expert and I respect you a lot, really do, but I am totally disagree with you. No chaos? I will not go deeper since it is not the topic, nor go to even 19. century; disastrous balkan wars, 18 coup attempts (İnonü said so) in 60s, leftist- rightist movements in...

    As a history lover, I'd like to add that; there was an immense political instability in the Ottoman Empire. 12 of last 20 sultans dethroned via coups, some of them killed. One cannot make necessary reforms to modernize a country such conditions. The most important thing, I mean the first thing...

    It is business. Each arm sales creates a strong bond with those countries and other export items sure will be followed. We must accept this, we dont have oil or gas, we have to sell things or we will be left hungry. In case of MBS; not geographically, but technically and lawfully he was...

    We should not make a plan based on 'hope' or 'realistic' scenario, we have to make a plan for the worst situation. I do believe we can make a good engine and fighter jet, also we will have UCAVs, but there are thousands of things may go wrong and may extend our timeline. For that reason we need...

    I agree. I think Putin will come out on top but will be defeated in Ukraine, they might even lose Crimea if the situation will not be deferred in 24 hours. We dont want a major nuclear power enter a civil war, but we dont want a war in Ukraine either. We dont want Russians in Syria, Africa or...
